Messag e fr om The V ice Pr esident Message Vice President FY 08 was full of exciting achivements for CI Indonesia. At the end of 2007, the Indonesian government hosted a hugely successful gathering on climate change that brought together climate change experts, international governments, NGOs, businesses, communities, indigenous peoples and many other stakeholders , for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP 13). This meeting, held in Bali, achieved significant results including the start of a critical discussion about a post-Kyoto protocol which will further address the issue of global warming. A road map toward better adaptation and mitigation was laid out and agreed upon by parties including US Government. Many group discussions linked climate change with sectors such as health, agriculture, industry , the environment and the future of biodiversity. Most importantly the inclusion of REDD (Reduced Emissions from Degradation and Deforestation) within a post-Kyoto protocol was agreed upon, which has spurred the development of a voluntary market project before 2012. The next biggest achievment in FY08 after the Bali conference was the Intergovermental Programme for Climate Change (IPCC) report released in 2008 that brought biodiversity issues right into the public eye. The report observed that since 1970, careful studies in 829 ecosystems had shown 28,800 plant and animal species and over 90% of the physical environment (melting glaciers, dwindling permafrost, increased river temperatures) had been affected by and were linked to temperature change. Further studies indicated that forest degradation and deforestation have contributed to 20% of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) in the world, and Indonesia and Brazil are the largest deforested countries. For that reason, and due to loss of peat swamp forests to wildfires, Indonesia ranked as the third highest emittor in the world. In mid 2008 in Malaysia, UNEP hosted the first intergovernmental conference for the creation of a panel similar to the IPPC model for biodiversity. The proposed body is to be called IPBES (International Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Servises). This body will help conservation organizations like CI publicly draw more attention to the short and longterm benefits of biodiversity. The number of new and old international agreements such as the CBD, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), The RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands, UNFCCC, United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), International Union for Conser vation of Nature (IUCN) and many others that have been accepted by the Indonesia government, will require a high capacity in order to tackle the complex issues which the convention aims to resolve. Therefore, the Goverment of Indonesia needs to collaborate their work with other stakeholders, especially those from non-government organizatons including CI Indonesia. Subsequentally, CI Indonesia has been helping the Indonesian Government by sending our staff to the workshops as delegation members, assisting in the development of policy frameworks and others assignments that help the government fulfill their obligations to international agreements. At the COP 13 on Climate Change in Bali, more than 20 of CI Indonesia and almost 100 staff from CI global were involved in many different expert discussions, panels and even as country delegation members. Furthermore, we organized a special session during the COP 13 with the Minister of the Environment, which opened with keynote speeches from both Indonesia’s President and CI’s President, Dr. Russel Mittermeier. Six religious leaders (Islamic, Catholic, Protestant, Hindu, Buddhist and Confusian) gave special speeches on the important role of religion in conserving nature and preventing global warming in Indonesia. Another important achievement for CI Indonesia in FY08 was the facilitation of the 2004 CBD commitment to double the size of the terrestrial protected area by 2010 and the marine area by 2012. Working closely with the Indonesian Government in 2004, CI-I facilitated the development of new national parks in Batang Gadis (108.000, extension of Gunung Gede-Pangrango (32.000 ha) and Gunung Halimun-Salak (130.000 ha) and Togean Marine National Park (362,605 ha). This time in FY 08, we collaborated with the Indonesian Government to create additional parks and along with the Raja Ampat government, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), several local NGOs, and the Ministry of Forestry and the Minstry of Marine and Fisheries to declare several MPAs (Marine Protected Area) in Raja Ampat (900.000 ha), off the west coast of Papua. These MPA s support the highest known levels of marine life biodiversity in the world with over 600 coral reef species and 1,476 reef- fish species.

In Papua, CI-Indonesia’s most interesting achievement was our work with the Mamberamo communities using a Multi-disciplinar y Landscape Analysis (MLA) that maps and finally recognizes the traditional community zoning of natural resources, including traditional hunting and sacred forest. In North Sumatra and Aceh, programs gained momentum by developing more activities related to agroforestry , community livelihood, mangrove restoration and climate change mitigation, with the help of GITI, Newmont, Starbucks, JBIC and the US Department of Energy. We are thankful to our CI board member, Dr. Enki Tan, and also to the advisory board members of CI Indonesia, Dr. Todung Mulya Lubis, Ret. Admiral Rosihan Arsyad, Mr. Aristides K atoppo, former Min. of Forestry Mr. Marzuki Usman, Hon. Member of Parliament from Papua Mr. Simon Morin, Professor Herman Haeruman, Mr. Arifin Panigoro, and Dr. Kuswata Kartawinata for visiting our field sites. In December 2007 CI Indonesia started our “Tree Adoption Program” with the support of five Indonesian Ministers (Forestry, Finance, Trade, Health and Woman Affairs) and the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Indonesia, who helped by planting and adopting the trees in Gunung Gede National Park. The event was successful also due to the the support of Dr. Bambang Sukmananto (head of Gunung Gede-Pangrango) and Dr. Bambang Supriyanto (head of Gunung Halimun Salik) and our advisory board members, Mr. Arifin Panigoro, and corporations such as Daikin, Price Waterhouse Cooper, and public organizations such as Green R adio, the PDIP Former President of Indonesia, her excelence Megawati Sukarnoputri, who adopted trees in the buffer zone of the Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park with her party’s members. In the marine division, CI Indonesia added two more programs in FY08: the Nusa Penida Marine Conservation program in Bali and the Kaimana program in West Papua. Both programs have been working with communities and local governments (the Klungkung regency in Bali and Kaimana regency in West Papua) to develop sustainable livelihood initiatives in conjunction with natural resource conservation. We have also handed over the leadership of some of CI’s programs to conservation allies, both local NGOs and local conser vation departments, such as the Sibolangit Conservation Education Center in North Sumatra and the Javan Gibbon Rehabilitation Center in Java. CI also engaged in the Round Table of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) by sending representative Tim Keleen to become a board member. On the ground, CI has conducted research on how applicable the RSPO principles will be for smallholder farmers. Separately, CI is engaging in the Sumatra-wide spatial planning process which is being lead by the ministry of Public Works. This will allow CI to ensure that forest protection through conservation will be incorporated in the final planning document. CI and partners were also able to lead the continuation of the Debt for Nature Swap under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act, which is to be invested in Sumatra and will continue the previous CEPF 5 year investment. These highlighted achievements of FY08 are not only the result of the hard work and preserverence of our CI Indonesia and CI headquarters staff, but also thanks to our friends in the Indonesia Central Government sectors especially at the Ministry of Forestry , Ministry of Marine Affairs, Ministry of the Environment, Indonesia Institute of Science, Ministry of Research and Technology, and many others in the governments of Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, West Java, Bali, West Papua and Papua, as well as local and international NGOs that have been working side by side with us for many years. On behalf of CI Indonesia, I thank all of CI’s partners and I look forward to more collaboration in the near future.

Conservation International targets its efforts globally towards areas of the highest endemic biological diversity. These are the Biodiversity Hotspots (areas of extraordinary biodiversity combined with high levels of anthropogenic threat and habitat loss), and the High Biodiversity Wilderness Areas (areas of high biodiversity that where original habitat cover is over 70% intact). The islands of the Indonesian archipelago are entirely covered by these global priority regions, encompassing most of the Sundaland Biodiversity Hotspot, the entirety of the Wallacea Biodiversity Hotspot, and half of the New Guinea High Biodiversity W ilderness Area. Within these broad priority regions, we target our work at three scales: species, sites, and landscapes/seascapes (or “corridors”). We also target the ocean with strategic option to protect marine life such as the coral triangle, to include effort to connect the ‘marine corridors’ at the Birth Head Seascape, Kaimana, Nusa Penida and the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Region.

1. Our Appr oach to Conservation
2. Program
CI aims toaccomplish its mission and conservation goals through three primary strategies – key “pillars” – on which all of CI’s actions are based. These are science, partnerships and human wellbeing.
2.1 National / Indonesia-Wide Program 2.11 . Species Conser vation In the 2008 fiscal year, CI Indonesia has continued to conserve priority species in the ongoing efforts to bring in more protection for the ecosystems in which they live.
1.1. Science Science is at the heart of CI Indonesia’s work. We are comprised of technical and scientific experts in science who collect and interpret data about biodiversity, develop strategic plans for conser vation, and forge partnerships in all sectors that promote conservation goals. With objective data in hand, conservation scientists can make a strong case for conservation with national, regional and local leaders in critical biodiversity areas.
2.1.1.1 Javan Leopard Images of the Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas) continued to be captured using camera traps that were setup in 2003 by CI Indonesia and its partners in Gede-Pangrango National Park. This comprehensive camera-trap monitoring has been supported by SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, as well as partners in the field, to determine the population and distribution of the Javan leopard in GedePangrango National P ark. Current monitoring results show that the relative density of Javan leopards in the study area of Bodogol (approximately 24 km2) is 0.16 individual per km2 or one individual per 6 km2. In previous years, CI Indonesia conducted a similar monitoring program using camera traps in Halimun-Salak National Park.
1.2. Partnerships CI recognizes the vital role of partnerships in achieving conservation goals. To be successful at a regional and global scale, conservation requires strategic collaboration among multiple organizations. In order to fulfil these goals, CI invests locally and regionally in building alliances and supporting partners, including through external grants. CI believes that an organization cannot stand alone to reach conservation achievements. To reach our targets, we have to work in partnerships and other strong constituencies in our mission that will enhance their conservation capacity.
This previous program found that the leopard’s relative density in study area of 32.4 km2 was 0.15 individual per km 2 or one individual per 6.5 km2. 2.1.1.2 Owa Jawa & the Javan Gibbon Center Also initiated in 2003, CI Indonesia with its main partners the Javan Gibbon Foundation, Gede-Pangrango National Park Authority, the University of Indonesia and the Silvery Gibbon Project (SGP), persisted in the efforts of saving the last Javan gibbons H ( ylobates
1.3. Human Well Being Biodiversity loss impoverishes the world and reduces the quality of life for all people. For communities which depend on healthy and productive natural lands to meet their daily needs, it also can be an issue of survival. CI believes the future of life hinges on its success. At the same time, CI recognizes that the sustainability of conservation outcomes achieved today will depend on its ability to demonstrate the vital role that biodiversity plays in supporting people’s quality of life, including clean air, clean water, and an adequate food supply. CI-Indonesia is incorporating human welfare components in each project site through activities such as agroforestry and non-timber forest product development, coffee conservation, animal husbandry, mother and children’s health, and national level policy involvement in environment and poverty alleviation.

moloch) from extinction through the Javan Gibbon Center’s Recovery and Rehabilitation program. The program progressed wonderfully from year to year and continued to carry out various facility improvements as well as successfully monitored the development of Javan gibbons in the rehabilitation center. By the end of the 2008 fiscal year, the Javan Gibbon Center had become the home for 27 gibbons, consisting of 14 females and 13 males, two of which were juveniles. Most of these gibbons were previously kept as pets by local people in the surrounding community. Thanks to CI Indonesia’s comprehensive community awareness and education programs, many of the owners voluntarily surrendered their pet gibbons to the center to be rehabilitated. The gibbons are now undergoing a pairing program in an attempt to find them suitable mates, before they are released back into the wild. In the past two years the Javan Gibbon Center has generated positive interests in national and international media, including the Jakarta Post, DAAI TV, Green Radio, the New York Times, TV 9 Australia, CNN, PBS P artisan Pictures and Red Communication Sdn Bhd-TV Malaysia.
2.1.1.5 Sumatran T iger CI Indonesia continues to conduct a tiger population survey using a camera trap in Batang Gadis National P ark. The camera trap has recently been moved and set up close to the Nias community. In addition to setting up the camera trap there, an awareness campaign was intitiated to encourage community engagement with the villages of Aek Nabara and Mandailing Natal, which are located inside the park boundar y. 2.1.1.6 Green TTurtle urtle W ith guidance and an external grant from CI, the Papua Sea Turtle F oundation (YPP) nest-guarding program succeeded in protecting 1,537 green turtle nests from poaching during the period of Januar y 2007 to June 2008. The two villages with traditional ownership rights over the area have instituted a community patrol, which has been actively patrolling 12 days of every month over the entire MPA area.
2.1.1.4 Orangutan The Forum of Batang Toru Collaboration was created to save the Sumatran orangutan population in the Batang Toru area. Working at the village level, this independent collaborative task force draws on the ideas and customs of local people.

2.1.2 Conser vation Policy 2.1.2.1 Convention on Biodiversity Recognizing that it is a country with mega-biodiversity, Indonesia ratified and signed the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), which was then officially formalized through Law No. 5 Year 1994 on August 1st, 1994. One of Indonesia’s obligations after ratifying the CBD was to regularly submit a report on progress of the convention’s implementation every four years. Therefore on August 11t h 2008, as the focal point on the implementation of CBD, the Ministry of the Environment, invited CI Indonesia and several other NGOs to kickoff the national report preparation. The occasion was also intended to facilitate relevant parties on decision-making processes in the convention, identifying potential problems as well as determining work priorities. The report format was to be in accordance to guidelines issued by the CBD Secretariat, which stated that the report must give details on the status and trend of national biodiversity, as well as identify the main threats to biodiversity, among other things.

During the kick-off, CI Indonesia reported that CBD’s implementation backbone had been in accordance with CI Indonesia’s activities, such as avoiding species extinction, setting up conservation areas, and corridor consolidation. In general, CI Indonesia’s main activities in the past four years had fully supported the implementation of CBD, i.e.: • Enabling condition through awareness programs, capacity building for government institution and local NGOs, as well as encouraging and facilitating various conser vation partnerships. • Species conser vation, focusing on Sumatra Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris ) and Javan Gibbon ( Hylobates molloch). • Protected Areas programs by means of establishing a new National Park, conservation area extension and management improvement. • Agreement on corridor conservation with legislative and executive institutions at the national level, provincial level and regional level, as well as persuading the private sector to take part in conser vation. • Publication of conser vation tools such as a map of key biodiversity areas, land suitability, results from Rapid Assessment Programs - both on terrestrial and marine, and results from Rapid Assessment Programs on conser vation and economics.

2.1.2.2 Coral Triangle Initiative The Coral Triangle is located along the equator where the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans converge. The region, which was delineated by scientists according to changes in coral and reef fish diversity, covers all or part of the exclusive economic zones of six countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste. The Coral Triangle (CT) covers only 1.6% the Earth’s oceanic area, but represents the global epicenter of marine life abundance and diversity. It harbors 76% of all the known coral species, 37% of all the known coral reef fish species, 33% of the world’s coral reefs, the largest extent of mangrove forest in the world, and spawning juvenile growth areas for the world’s largest tuna fishery .

The CT is not only a region of exceptional productivity, but it also sits at the crossroads of expanding populations, economic growth and international trade, putting its marine and coastal resources under tremendous and increasing threat. Fish and other marine resources are the principal source of food, livelihoods and export revenues in all CT countries. These critical resources are increasingly threatened throughout the Coral Triangle due to over-fishing and other unsustainable fishing practices, land-based sources of marine pollution, coastal habitat conversion, and the impacts of global climate change. In response to these alarming threats, the six governments in the CT region established a new multilateral partnership to preserve the region’s marine and coastal biological resources called The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI). The six governments have finalized a 10-year CTI Plan of Action that reflects their common priorities and commitments as well as inputs from partners. The CTI has become the common ground in which the governments and partners are working together to ensure regional level protection of marine resources. As one of the governments’ partners, CI strives to support the goals of the CTI at both the regional and national levels. CI is working with NGO partners to spearhead this initiative, in order to facilitate

and promote active participation of the six countries’ governments in all aspects of planning and implementation of CTI targeted activities. In Indonesia, CI is contributing to the development of Indonesia’s plan of action for CTI at the national level, while also achieving many on-the-ground marine conservation outcomes throughout the countr y. Over the past year, with strong support from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), the CI Indonesia Marine Program made significant progress in the development of the National Plan of Action for T urtle Conservation and Management. The action plan is currently at the stage of public consultation, a final step towards the legal endorsement of the National Action Plan. CI continues to support the MMAF as they develop the institutional and sustainable financing frameworks for marine protected areas, which will provide direction and guidance on the management and funding for marine protected areas at the local level throughout Indonesia. The Seascapes concept is a conser vation planning approach developed by CI, and it has been recognized as an innovative strategy for improving ocean governance and strengthening marine management at a sufficiently large spatial scale. The recent decision by the six countries in the Coral Triangle to include priority seascape as one of five desired outcomes of the

Covering 75,000 sq km, the Coral Triangle encompasses six countries: Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the S olomon Islands.
Coral Triangle Initiative, is a major example of the growing recognition of the seascape approach at the regional and international levels. Meanwhile the Indonesian government, at national and local levels, has recognized the value of seascapes as a platform for cooperation for between stakeholders in all different levels of governance. The milestones accomplished in the Bird’s Head Seascape over the last three years have set the standard for marine resource management in Indonesia and the Bird’s Head Seascape has been adopted as a model seascape in Indonesia’s plan of action for CTI. In addition to the Bird’s Head Seascape and the Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape, CI has targeted two new seascapes, Anambas/Natuna and Sunda-Banda, as priority seascapes in the western part of Indonesia for this coming fiscal year. Both of these seascapes were also set as priority seascapes by the Indonesian government in the national plan of action of the Coral Triangle Initiative.
cies, which are the principal sources of livelihoods for some 120 million people in the six countries. Such vast marine resources have generated a value of total economic activities equivalent to around $2.3 billion (USD) per year. The Coral Triangle Initiative for Coral Reef, Fisheries and Food Security was declared at the APEC Meeting in Sydney, 9 September 2007.
2.1.2.3 Tropical FForest orest Conser vation Act Conservation The Tropical F orest Conservation Act (TFCA) was enacted in 1998 to offer eligible developing countries the option to relieve certain official debt owed to the United States of America, while at the same time generating funds to support local tropical forest conservation activities. The TFCA was implemented through bilateral agreements with eligible countries. The TFCA was based on the same principles as the successful Enterprise for the Americas Initiative (EAI), established by former President Bush Sr. in 1991 to relieve the debt burden of Latin American countries that moved to open

investment regimes. To be eligible under the TFCA, developing countries must have a tropical forest of global or regional significance and meet certain political and economic criteria established in the law. Specifically, they must have democratically elected governments, cooperate on international narcotics control measures, and have a suitable economic reform program in place. They must not support international terrorism or violate human rights.
nature swap. In this scheme, CI Indonesia and the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (Kehati) are committed to be the swap partners. Local currency funds generated by a TFCA agreement will be used for a broad variety of in-countr y forest conservation activities identified in the Act. These include forest restoration, implementation of sound natural resource management systems, establishment and maintenance of parks and protected areas, training in conservation management, protection of animal and plant species, research on medicinal uses of tropical forest plants, and development and support of the livelihoods of people and local communities in or near a tropical forest. In addition to forest conser vation and debt relief, the TFCA is intended to strengthen civil society by creating local foundations to support small grants to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and local communities. The program also offers a unique opportunity for public-private partnerships.
Indonesia is currently eligible for TFCA and is now at the final planning and negotiation stage, which is expected to lead to a signing of the Tropical Forest Conservation Agreement by the end of 2008. The agreement will include funds raised by swap partners in addition to appropriated debt reduction funds. The total deal will generate approximately $23 million for tropical forest conservation in Indonesia, particularly in Sumatra, which has been decided on as the most suitable geographic location for TFCA activities, over the life of the agreement. The TFCA agreement will be structured as a debt reduction, a debt buyback, or a debt-for-

2.1.3 Climate Chang e The conference, hosted by the Government of Indonesia, took place at the Bali International Convention Centre and brought together more than 10,000 participants, including representatives of over 180 countries, observers from intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations and the media. The two week conference included sessions of the Conference of the Parties, the UNFCCC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. A ministerial segment in the second week concluded the conference.
2.1.3.1 COP13 December 2007 was dominated by the 13t h United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC), or also known as the COP13 (13t h Conference of the Parties), in Bali. CI Indonesia attended the conference and supported the Ministry of F orestry in presenting the CI Mamberamo pilot REDD (Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Degradation) program within the PT Mamberamo Alasmandiri logging concession. This REDD pilot carbon project aims to develop mechanisms that encourage improved management of forest resources. The concept was well received and has gained interest from the industry as well as from potential investors. Negotiations were held throughout late 2007 and early 2008 with the managers of Mamberamo Alasmandiri concession to attain permission to implement a scoping assessment on carbon stocks and the potential for HCVF / RIL that could be combined with a REDD carbon project within the concession. In June, after significant obstacles and delays, the management agreed upon an initial assessment. In the weeks that followed, the project has gained interest from investors in Australia.

2.1.3.2 REDD Training Conservation International Indonesia and CI Asia Pacific were invited to participate in a carbon training session along with other stakeholders from local and central governments of Indonesia, local NGOs, and the private sector. The training helped participants understand the basic knowledge and principles required to implement and report on a carbon project. Participants also learned about the Reduction Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD). The international policy that guides carbon projects was explained, as well as fundraising strategies and financial management principles. Subsequent REDD training has been carried out between CI Indonesia and The Nature Conservancy (TNC), perhaps the first of its kind in Indonesia which will hopefully result in a REDD pilot project.
2.1.3.3 Biofuel Production of bio-fuel is becoming a great concern due to the potential disturbance of natural forests. In collaboration with US Department of Energy, CI has conducted a program of sustainable bio-fuel production to avoid forest conversion in some countries, including Indonesia. CI Indonesia conducted studies in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) employing land-use suitability mapping to identify areas for palm oil production. This information was provided to the government of Aceh in order to establish a sustainable palm oil system. The program is also collaborating with the government of Aceh in the “Aceh Green Vision” strategy. To strengthen its recommendations, CI Indonesia has conducted studies on the values of ecosystem services, the benefits of biodiversity and the different ways to optimize relations between governments and the private sector.
2.1.4 Conservation Planning
The new KBA database has been thoroughly compiled for easy access. A published CD can be obtained by contacting Conserv ation International I ndonesia’s head office in Jakarta.
2.1.4.1 Outcome Database CI Indonesia had successfully published an Outcome Database on endangered fauna and flora species in Indonesia. The database was designed with an online link to the IUCN Red List to anticipate changes at the global level. When information on this list is changed, the records on the database will be automatically updated. Data and information on Sumatra’s fauna in particular, are much more comprehensive because endangered species identification has been conducted down to the distribution level of each species.

2.1.4.2 PPeople eople Knowledge Center The inauguration ceremony for the People Knowledge Center was held on September 5t h, 2008 and was hosted by the Governor of Papua. This center will be the database center for information on Papua RESPEK Programs in the local villages, as well as the location of information from other NGOs or Development Partners in Papua on their developments programs in Papua and West Papua. This is yet another new milestone for the development of the people in Papua and West Papua.
of interest. Additional information from CI would also help conservation partners and practitioners to influence decision makers about natural resource use and infrastructural development in the provinces. CI’s database, which has been developed in Atherton by the Melanesian CBC, is of particular interest and needs to be developed into a portable and user-friendly interface.
2.1.5 Conser vation Monitor ing 2.1.5.1 Real-T ime Illegal Logging CI Indonesia has created a forest cover monitoring program which also provides forest fire detection in conservation areas in Sumatra. The program uses Aster Image, a program that is also used by NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Rapid Response System from the Department Geography of Maryland University. Although the recorded data in the area covered by the monitors is not precisely real time, it enables forest fire detection by allowing users to regularly monitor forest cover. The areas being monitored are Gunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park, Batang Gadis National Park, and Batang Toru Nature Reserve. The detection process for forest fires is being conducted by the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science (CABS) and Conser vation International in partnership with University of Maryland and NASA.
2.1.4.3 KBA PPeer eer Review In July 2008, two subsequent KBA Peer Reviews were carried out for the Mamberamo Basin with stakeholders from the State University of Cenderawasih (UNCEN), several NGOs in Jayapura, and University of Papua (UNIPA) in Manokwari. The KBA Peer review was originally to be carried out in Atherton, Australia. However, due to limited budget and supporting staff, CI Indonesia decided to carry it out at the local level. The report of the results is still in the process of being created. In general, the KBA system of conservation priority settings received a favorable response from participants. It was decided that much more information from CI should be shared with conservation partners and practitioners, so that the KBA system can be extended to other areas in Papua outside CI’s present scope

CI scientist monitoring the marine life at Raja Ampat
2.1.5.2 Marine Monitoring CI Indonesia’s monitoring team in Raja Ampat and P apua completed a baseline survey on coral reefs in four community-based Local Marine Conservation Areas including Ayau, Mayalibit, Wayag and Dampier Strait. The survey was conducted on all coastlines, totaling 577 km in length in an area of 336,680 hectares. Furthermore, the marine monitoring team also supported the EcosystemBased Management (EBM) program on several research trips and surveys, including surveys on fish abundance, deep-sea temperature logger installation and marine ecology evaluation in Halmahera, North Maluku.
During the sur vey, the team also made dives in several targeted sites, particularly in grouper Spawning Aggregation Sites (SPAGS), to observe fish distribution and abundance using a visual census method. The manta-tow technique was also used to monitor coral coverage in Kaimana, Papua. At this point, monitoring activities were only focused on the Iris Strait, due to limitations such as weather and the difficulties of obtaining monitoring permits from several local villages. The baseline sur vey in Kaimana covered an area of 55 km 2, and included findings such as: • The dominant substrates in the Iris Strait are sand and mud. Soft corals also dominated this area. • Several drop-offs exist in areas that are dominated by limestone cliffs. • Low visibility was present throughout the survey with a maximum visibility of only 8 meters and minimum of 2 meters. On average, visibility in the Iris Strait was 4.12 meters. • Reviews from divers who have dived Triton Bay and the Iris Strait stated that they had experienced low visibility in these areas. Some even speculated that the green color of the water was probably due to a high level of nutrient enrichment. • Rubble was found in a number of areas, indicating past overexploitation and bombing incidents.
Data on the condition of coral reefs was obtained using the mantatow survey method through snorkeling, which resulted in a broad picture of coral reef conditions in a wide area. Manta-tow monitoring estimates the percentage of coral coverage based on five categories: • Live hard corals • Dead corals (including dead corals, new dead corals and rocks) • Rubble • Sand • Other biota (including soft coral, sponge, macro algae, etc.)

2.1.6 Conser vation & Religion
environmental seminars were held to discuss possible actions at the national level for primarily urban communities.
Religion is one of the main factors that people use to determine their behavior towards their environment and in some cases can help encourage people to change their behaviors. We believe that involving faith organizations and leadership in conservation issues can help bridge connections between projects and possible conservation successes. We are encouraging several religious leaders to engage in the current conservation and awareness practices, and hope that this will generate more participation in protecting Indonesia’s nature. When we started to work with conservation efforts in Aceh after the tsunami disaster, we took care to evaluate the possible Islamic approaches, knowing that many people in Aceh greatly value the teachings and lifestyle offered by Islam. Addressing these issues, we have been successful in implementing the Timber for Aceh Program (TFA) in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature, Indonesia.
We are contributing for conceptual and panel of judges of Eco Pesantren Program conducted by MoE. At the urban level, CI worked with the Islamic Boarding School to help promote a conservation movement. The program trained students with a practical understanding of nature and demonstrated the value of nurseries and tree planting. The student’s new concerns for the environment helped transform the curriculum.
2.1.7 Communication & Education 2.1.7.1 Green Talk Working together with Green Radio 89.2 FM, CI Indonesia conducts a dialog program every Thursday from 3-4 PM Jakarta time in the efforts to raise various environmental issues and discuss possible solutions with environmental experts from CI Indonesia and other organizations. The dialog is themed to highlight the endeavor to save the urban environment by addressing issues from upstream to downstream. Started in early 2008, the program has so far featured at least 20 interviews with environmental experts in Jakarta. Organizations and institutions that have participated in the program include Birdlife Indonesia, The Nature Conservancy, the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of Environment, Miss Earth Organization, and others.
In July 2007, CI Indonesia collaborated with the Ministry of Environment, State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah, Jakarta and Islamic Foundation of Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES), UK, to facilitate the Colloquium Islamic Fiqh on Environment. The meeting was congregated by several Islamic scholars from the UK, Saudi Arabia, Africa, India and Indonesia, to emphasize the importance of religious roles in nature conservation. An international event such as Bali’s UNFCCC- COP 13 in December of 2007, was also a sensible forum for religious leaders to participate. Together with the MoE and support for Alliance of Religion and Conservation (ARC), we successfully held a parallel event, and religious leaders representing Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Islam all gathered to present their statements and concerns regarding global climate change and the resulting actions. Interfaith discussions and
A key program focus is the attempt to save Gede-Pangrango National Park through tree adoption. Green Radio facilitates the adoption program and invites faithful listeners to contribute by adopting a tree. By August of 2008, the collaboration between Green Radio and CI Indonesia has succeeded in adopting 5 hectares worth of trees.

2.1.7.2 Java Jazz Festival 2008 The Java Jazz Festival is an annual event that brings jazz and many international singers to Jakarta. This year CI Indonesia joined together with The Nature Conservancy and WWF Indonesia, in collaboration with Java Festival Production, Metro TV and MRA Media, to use the Java Jazz Festival as an opportunity to promote the “Go Green” awareness campaign.. The Java Festival Production, Metro TV and MRA Media created their own mediums for promoting this theme, and as a result the “Go Green” platform was nonbranding and a non-self promotional platform but rather a joint commitment purely encouraging people to “do something!”
CI I ndonesia booth in “We Do Go Green Concert 2008”
During the 3-day event from March 7t h to 9t h 2008, the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival and these three conservation organizations encouraged the jazz audience to reduce their lifestyle-generated carbon emissions in a booth jointly shared by the three NGOs. Carbon reduction efforts encouraged booth participants to try calculating their carbon footprint using an individual carbon calculator. This “Go Green” program turned out to be a huge success. Hundreds of jazz lovers visited the booth and were surprised to see the amounts of carbon they were emitting. Even those who thought that they were already environmentally conscious were surprised by the calculations. The reaction prompted many people to willingly pledge make small changes in their behavior, in order to develop a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Unlike the International Java Jazz F estival that featured international jazz maestros, the W e Do Green Concert featured top Indonesian musicians, such as The Upstairs, Superglad, Nugie, K aton, Kunci, Trio Libels, Andre Hehanusa, Contra Indigo, Barry Likumahua, and many more. This event targeted younger, urban music lovers and aimed to encourage them to make visible behavior changes and to adopt more environmentally-responsible daily habits. The arena setup included two recycle centers, a climate change information tunnel, two wish trees and a special parking area by the stage for bicycles to encourage people to ride their bikes to the event. Nugie, one of Jakarta’s top artists, is well-known for his eco-concerns and his committed dedication to the environment. He demonstrated these beliefs by riding his bike to the event from his house in the Bintaro area. Indonesia’s Minister of the Environment, Mr. Rachmat Witoelar, officially opened the event after arriving via bicycle with his entourage who were also all on bikes.
One of CI Indonesia’s advisory board members, Dian Sastrowardoyo, who is also one of Indonesia’s top celebrities and a high-profile public figure, gave her support by taking the carbon test after which she found that she owed 9 trees to Mother Nature. She shared this result with members of the national and international press at the “Go Green” press conference.
Conservation International (CI) Indonesia took the opportunity at this event to team up with Green Radio, the only green lifestyle radio station, to promote the T ree Adoption Program for CI’s Gedepahala Project (Gede-Pangrango and Halimun-Salak National Parks). Jakarta’s music lovers took a break from the top musical performances and came flocking to CI Indonesia’s booth to obtain information about tree adoption.
2.1.7.3 W Wee Do Green Concert 2008 After the big success of the “Go Green” platform at the International Java Jazz Festival in March, another green concert was held on the 19t hof July at the East Senayan Plaza, in Jakarta, Indonesia. The “W e Do Green” Concert was an anticipated continuation program of the International Java Jazz Festival. Similar concerts are also planned for the rest of year, leading to next year ’s International Java Jazz Festival. These programs will continue to promote green lifestyles to Indonesia’s Jazz lovers throughout the coming year and ensures that jazz continues to have a prominent voice in Jakarta and throughout Indonesia.

CI Indonesia continually maintains and refines our website. The site is now presented in both Indonesian and English languages and it averages between 125.000 to 200.000 hits per month. All our staff are encouraged to publish through the website documents or media including books, scientific journals, popular articles, opinion pieces, and even films of their projects to share their learning, to increase public awareness and to enlarge our conservation constituency. We continue to upload all our publications on our website, and all the publications that were issued this year are attached in this report.
2.1.7.5 Publication CI Indonesia publications are used to spread knowledge, to share lessons learned in conservation best practices and to document conservation efforts. We continued publishing 1000 copies of each edition of TROPIKA INDONESIA Magazine on a quarterly basis in Bahasa Indonesia. The magazine is free of charge for our partners, NGOs, universities and other educational institutions, corporations and to any interested subscriber who is willing to pay the printing and mailing costs. The magazine is also accessible online. This year the magazine had about 15 to 20 thousand visits per month through the Conservation International Indonesia website: www.conser vation.or. id
2.1.7.6 Communication Campaign in Papua During June and July 2008, CII Papua placed a number of spots on local television channels to campaign for biodiversity conservation and to introduce CII activities in Papua. TV spots will be continued through the next fiscal year 2009 until December on an interval of every 2 months with 8 broadcasts each month.
The Blue A uction and Auction ish F our ew FFish Ne ourtteen N Species CI Indonesia’s Marine program has had tremendous fundraising successes in 2008. Between renewal grants from The Walton Family Foundation and The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, new grants from the Bakrie Green Program, the Paine Family Trust and the Virginia Wellington Cabot Foundation, as well as funds from the historic Blue Auction, the marine program secured more than $22 million in 2008.

naming a new species of “walking” shark. The revenue raised from the ten species names were allocated exclusively to three priority conservation programs in the Bird’s Head Seascape including a marine enforcement initiative designed to dramatically reduce destructive and illegal fishing practices in the region, a marine conservation education initiative which will use an innovative “floating education center” as a platform for teaching interactive conservation education courses in the remote coastal villages of the Bird’s Head, and a taxonomic capacity building initiative to foster the development of taxonomic expertise among young Indonesian marine scientists working in the region.
On the 20t h of September 2007, the Blue Auction gala was held in the historic Museum Oceanographique de Monaco. It was sponsored by the Monaco-Asia Society and Conservation International, and under the high patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. The naming rights to ten new fish species discovered in the Bird’s Head Seascape were auctioned, and together raised a total of US$1,595,000. The highest bid of $500,000 garnered the honor of

2.2.1 Nor thern Sumatran Cor ridor (NSC) The Northern Sumatran Corridor (NSC) stretches out more than 100km along the Bukit Barisan mountain range. The area consists of four major ecosystems: Seulawah, Leuser, the Western Toba Watershed and the Angkola ecosystem, covering 1.8 million hectares in North Sumatra and Nangroe Aceh Darussalam Provinces. The NSC has a conservation vision that targets areas with good forest cover as well as areas threatened by encroachment.
The protection efforts engage the local governments through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Conser vation International Indonesia and the regency of Southern T apanuli. The MoU declares that the Batang Toru dan Rawa Siondop area is included as a conser vation area as a category of Grand Forest Park (Taman Hutan Raya).
In this past fiscal year, targets included mangrove rehabilitation programs along the coastal areas of Aceh, activities in the Batang Gadis National Park, and projects to meet the economic needs of communities in the Batang Toru Watershed.
The Batang Toru Park is a major water catchment area that encompasses three regencies: North Tapanuli, South Tapanuli and Central Tapanuli, which have all committed to manage the forest in a collaborative approach. CI Indonesia has estimated the carbon content of Batang Toru by assessing the forest biomass in the top soil. The primary forest has 414,149,105 tons of carbon or equal to 137,006,970 tons of CO 2.
The NSC program continues to support local communities in their efforts to protect orangutan habitat in the forests of Batang Toru Southern Tapanuli Regency. Program managers are monitoring

The agroforestry system was adopted because of its positive impact on the peripheral areas of orangutan habitat while at the same time it preserves the agricultural heritage of the community.
The US Ambassador to Indonesia,Cameron R. Hume, visited the Batang Toru Watershed Areas on March 25, 2008. He was accompanied by Thomas Friedman, an author and columnist for the New York Times, Glen Prickets, CI V ice-President for Conservation and Environmental Leadership and Business (CELB), Arifin Panigoro of Medco Corporation and the CI Indonesia Advisory Board.
The ambassador and the group later took to the skies for an aerial view of the orangutan habitat in Batang Toru, South Tapanuli, North Sumatra.
The group arrived at Aek Nabara Village, and had an informal dialogue with members of the community who shared their interests and acknowledged the efforts of CI in preserving their forest and building their understanding of the life-cycle of the orangutan and its habitat.

2.2.1.1.1 Coastal Rehabilitation This program has rehabilitated 220 hectares of mangrove swamp Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. It includes the reconstruction of 60 hectares of shrimp ponds as well as 2 km of shorelines and creeks destroyed by the tsunami disaster. CI Indonesia planted 230 thousand mangrove seedlings along the coastal areas near Desa Deyah Raya village. The mangrove species planted were Rizhopora mucronata and Rizhopora apiculata. By the end of the project, about 80 % of the mangrove nursery was surviving successfully.

CI Indonesia has facilitated these activities to increase these local farmer’s capacities through field training and developing their knowledge of marketing.
The villages of Perjuangan and Barisan Nauli have been checked under the Cafe Practices of Starbucks to verify whether or not they have conformed to the requirements of the environmentally friendly coffee market. Our team proposed an 8000 hectare development of agroforestry coffee to the Head of the Dairi Regency and the Ministry of Forestry to prevent conflicts in the use of forests for coffee plantations.
2.2.1.2 North Sumatra 2.2.1. 2.1. Batang Toru F orest Range A grass roots organization called the ‘Batang Toru F orest Range’ has been established in five villages: Aek Nabara Village, Haunatas, Janji Manaon, Bonan Dolok and Siranap. The group uses community participation and shares responsibility in protecting the Batang Toru forest cover. They call themselves the Satuan Tugas Penyelamatan Sumber Daya Alam Desa (The Taskforce for Rescuing Village Natural Resources). These five villages have taken leadership in guarding orangutan habitat at the Sub Distric Merancar in the Southern part of the Batang Toru forest by focusing on rescuing the natural richness of Batang Toru, which includes orangutans and tigers.
In Perjuangan Village a Letter of Agreement has been signed that regulates coffee production on a sustainable basis and prevents the expansion of coffee growing in the natural forest. To insure compliance with the agreement, a forum of sustainable coffee farmers from ten villages in Dairi has been formed. The Dairi Conservation Coffee Farmers Forum has adopted a strategy to implement sustainable coffee growing and expand on the committment to protecting the biodiversity of the Dairi Regency.

the southwestern part of the North Sumatra Province. CI Indonesia has been involved in this area since it was first declared a park in 2004. Among the most important activities conducted this fiscal year was the establishment and verification of the national park’s borders. This included a field check involving the community to help them become familiar with the temporar y park border. The location of this 100km border was first sur veyed in 2007. The remaining of 100km will be surveyed in 2009.
2.2.1.2.2. Education and Awareness Public education and awareness is an essential tool of conservation. In the Batang Toru Watershed villages, the education and awareness campaign of CI Indonesia focused on target groups in the public schools at the elementary and primary levels as well as the public in the surrounding watershed areas. The main topics of discussion center on the role of orangutan and tigers in maintaining the balance and health of the rivers in the Batang Toru watershed. Awareness is raised through face to face dialogue and trips to the schools and villages that allow us to share film, posters and brochures about specific conservation topics.
Also this fiscal year , a population census was conducted in the areas occupied by the Nias ethnic group in the Hutan Sahiyo Forest and its surroundings. There, about 2000 hectares of protected forest land has been encroached upon. This approach will pave the way to secure Batang Gadis National Park which is also being encroached upon. Our program also continued to monitor key areas using a camera trap.

2.2.2 Gedepahala Cor Corrridor Rehabilitation and restoration of previously depredated ecosystems is essential for optimizing ecosystem services. Since 2003, CI Indonesia has initiated various restoration approaches in the Gunung Gede Pangrango area. The ecosystem rehabilitation plan called the “Green Wall” program has successfully replanted native tress, as well as economically valuable trees, in partnership with local communities. Beginning in fiscal year 2008, CI has scaled up the restoration and rehabilitation programs in Gunung Gede National Park, and added the Gunung Halimun and Gunung Salak (Gedepahala) areas, to the Gedepahala Corridor strategic plan.
a program launched by the government of Indonesia to rehabilitate degraded land all over the country. The initiative is supported by a wide variety of patrons including the political party Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP), which has adopted 10 hectares, the Green Radio Communities, a national radio program in Jakarta that has committed support for 10 hectares, four female ministers from the government, the Prince Water House supporting 10 ha, and a senior governor of the Bank of Indonesia, who pledged to adopt 20 hectares. In addition, the Daikin Company has committed to planting 200 hectares.
This ambitious program aims to rehabilitate nearly 10 thousand hectares of degraded land in these national parks, and emphasizes working in partnerships with the surrounding communities.
2.2.3 Mamberamo Corridor By 2011, CI Indonesia will establish the 4.5 million-hectare Mamberamo Conservation Corridor within the 8 million-hectare Mamberamo Catchment, which will connect the four established national protected areas (Rouffaer, Foja/Mamberamo, Jayawijaya and Lorentz) by linking indigenous forest reserves.
The program includes a tree adoption commitment to plant native trees and maintain them for up to three years. This adoption project parallels

2.2.3.1 Multidisciplinar Multidisciplinaryy Landscape Assessment The first Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment (MLA) of the 2008 fiscal year (and forth MLA to be carried out in the Mamberamo since 2004) was implemented the 14-28th of November, 2007 in the Dabra area. The MLA was carried out by CI field staff and local partners. The goal was to map local resource use by communities, sacred areas and traditional ‘conservation zones’. The activity was 80% funded (bought-in) by the local government and had previously been used for conservation zoning and sustainable development. The area that was mapped covers approximately 100,000 hectares, half of which is considered traditional conservation forest by local communities. The MLA was followed by training at CIFOR for digitized mapping of the area covered by the MLA, and the digitized maps were finished in Jayapura in May 2008. The 2nd MLA was carried out in FY08 inMay 21- June 4,,2007 in the Haya area of the district Rouffaer.. The team was led by Joseph Watopa, and consisted of Mamberamo Field Officers and officers from the Deptartment of Forestry/BKSDA. The reports and digitized maps are still being processed now in Jayapura and will be finalized by August 7, 2008.

2.2.3.2 Community Conser vation Agreement Conservation The Community Conser vation Agreement (CCA) was carried out in FY07 in Kwerba and Papasena, and covered an area of approx 100,000 ha. In this fiscal year the CCA was signed by the communities, and it is currently being consolidated and organized with help from the local communities, and is headed towards the process of legalization at the local village government level. The total area of the CCA covers approximately 300,000 hectares.

eral taxa that may be new findings, including a rainbow fish and several frog taxons. The survey also helped to extend our knowledge about biodiversity patterns in the western part of the Mamberamo watershed, which is especially important because of a concern for growing threats of future logging operations. 2.2.3.5 Conser vation Planning Conference Conservation The first of a series of workshops was held in November 2007 aimed to help the government of Papua achieve sustainable development and conservation through suitable planning of the forestry estate. At present, there are many issues with the plan, which has been in place since the early 1980’s. With new data and methodologies, CI and other environmental NGOs hope to influence the provincial government to use their natural resources wisely, especially in an era of increased interest in the forests of Papua - one of the few remaining vast tracts of forest in this region of the world. The workshop was held over two days and nearly fifty participants attended including the WWF, IUCN/Samdana, and many local NGOs and government departments. CI and CSIRO presented the results from their analyses regarding conservation of Papua’s resources - including protected area gap analyses, the Biodiversity Database, and Suitability Analysis for Oil Palm (to demonstrate threats). This workshop is being followed up with intense dialogue between the government and CI partners in relation to Natural Resource spatial planning (see below).

2.2.3.3 Sustainable Use Option Plan (SUOP) In November 2007, SUOP fish and meat preservation methods training began for six women’s cooperative groups and were carried out in Dabra. Between the six groups, the number of participants totaled seventy-two. Each group learned how to make Abon and Dendeng, which are forms of jerked meat and are two well-known traditional foods in Indonesia. Abon and Dendeng also sell for a relatively good price in the markets, and do not require refrigeration. The training was well-received by all and afterwards the groups actively started production. Since the trainings, the local government has pledged to buy all products and then market them through Sarmi, a local town. Previously, SUOP training was carried out in Kay Village in April of 2008 with four groups and fourty-eight participants. CI provided incentives to start up production in the form of equipment and materials.
2.2.3.6 Government Relations The development partners meeting brought together local and foreign NGO’s based out of Papua and West Papua. The first goal of the meeting was to recommend development programs to be carried out by the participating NGOs. The second goal was to synchoronize these recommended programs with the provincial government annual plan and to support the government development programs. The meeting was attended by three foreign ambassadors and several delegates from different foreign donor agencies. A follow up annual meeting of all Regencies of Papua and West Papua province occurred in Februar y 18t h-20t h with the governor. CI participated in the Sustainable Forestr y Management group, which produced the following paramount recommendations: (1) To acknowledge the customar y landrights in Papua as a prerequisite for the development of all natural resources. (2) Assistance and improvement of the capacities to all stakeholders (communties, government officials and NGO’s) for the development of natural resources is imperative.
2.2.3.4 Biology Research The State University of Papua (UNIPA) and CI Indonesia carried out a biodiversity survey in Haya (western Mamberamo on the Rouffaer River system) in late January to February 2008, based on a sur vey gap analysis. The survey was well implemented by a team of six keen and young scientists (the majority of whom have already participated in CI’s RAP surveys or those implemented by Indo-Pacific Conservation Alliance around Jayapura). The survey produced sev-

(3) The legislation of the Special Provincial Law (Peraturan Daerah Khusus) on customary landrights of the indigenous people by the Papuan Legislature is a MUST and should be the basis for any development plan. These results of the meeting were adopted into the Provincial Annual Plan by the Provincial Planning Board (BAPEDA). The CI Mamberamo Program Manager participated in the whole meeting process. • The release of the book Ecology of Papua has also sparked new partnerships with the Governor of Papua. The Governor has since called for an Indonesian translation (the CI Mamberamo Program has developed a TOR and submitted to the local government for financial support). The same has occurred for a series of children’s books about biodiversity. These are in the process of being designed. New interest was also gained in holding an International Biodiversity Conference in Papua. This shows the Governor’s commitment to biodiversity protection. Peter K amarea has now taken the lead in taking this exciting opportunity forward. The workshop could be a vehicle to discuss sustainable development and biodiversity conser vation.

2.2.3.7 International Biodiversity Conference CI Indonesia Papua is now leading group discussions on the preparations for an International Biodiversity Conference slated for September of 2009, in Papua. This initiative came from the Governor of Papua last year and CI will act as host. The process of FGD started last April, and will soon report to the Governor the results of the FGD for future proceeds. 2.2.3.8 Strategic Plan for Papua & W est P apua West A strategic planning meeting was held in Bali in July of 2007, with all staff attending, to explore the experiences of staff, impact and effort analysis of activities that have been applied since 2005, appreciative inquiry (strengths of staff, vision for the future, design of an ideal organization, and action plan to deliver), and scenario planning for threats/uncertainties. The plan included reorganization plans, a training needs assessment, communication protocol (internal and external), and regular program evaluation tool development.

Wayag Island, Raja Ampat
2.3 Marine Program CI’s approach to marine conservation is largely through its Seascapes Initiative. Two out of three of CI’s seascapes are located entirely or partly in Indonesian waters, namely the Papuan Bird’s Head and Sulu Sulawesi Seascapes.
Recent and ongoing research is also showing the BHS to include critical habitats for globally-threatened marine species, including the largest Pacific leatherback, green and hawksbill turtles, migratory cetacean aggregation areas in the Sagewin and Dampier Straits in R aja Ampat and Triton Bay in the K aimana Corridor. Without question, the Bird’s Head Seascape ranks as a global priority for marine conser vation.
The Papuan Bird’s Head Seascape in northwest Papua sits firmly in the epicenter of the “Coral Triangle,” the region encompassing the world’s highest marine biodiversity. Recent surveys of the Bird’s Head Seascape’s three main coral reef regions (Raja Ampat, Teluk Cendrawasih and the FakFak-Kaimana coastline), covered a combined area of over 18 million hectares, and recorded over 1,300 species of coral reef fishes and more than 600 species of scleractinian coral (over 70 percent of the world’s total) – the highest coral reef biodiversity recorded for an area of this size anywhere in the world.
Through the Papuan Bird’s Head Seascape initiative, CI aims to develop conservation in a manner that protects biodiversity, sustains fisheries, and maintains marine tourism potential in order to generate considerable sustained benefits for local communities and for the entire Seascape. This initiative identifies ways to mitigate activities that threaten local livelihoods, deplete fisheries biomass, and decrease biodiversity, connectivity, and resilience of reefs and other ecosystems. Within the Bird’s Head Seascape, CI has primarily focused on the seascape’s “crown jewel” R aja Ampat and in the Kaimana corridor.

In the Sulu Sulawesi Seascape, CI Indonesia has focused on the Berau Corridor, an exceedingly critical area for green and hawksbill turtles. The Berau Corridor contains more than 60% of the green turtle rookery and nesting sites within the Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape ( SSS). Through a directed external grant program, CI has made a significant contribution to the extensive conservation efforts of our partners TNC and WWF in the Berau Corridor.
2.3.3 Raja Ampat Program 2.3.3.1 KKalabia alabia Marine Conser vation Education VVessel essel Conservation The Kalabia marine conservation education vessel was officially launched in Raja Ampat. The 37 meters-long Kalabia, which is named for Raja Ampat’s endemic walking shark, is brightly painted with Papuan motifs and marine life murals. Jointly operated by CI and TNC, the ship will visit each of the 89 remote villages in Raja Ampat and conduct a 3-day interactive conservation education curriculum which has been custom-designed for local schoolchildren. The Kalabia program is designed to increase local villager knowledge of their marine environment and support for conservation initiatives.
Children in Raja Ampat learning at the Kalabia Conserv ation Education Vessel during its stop on their island. The Vessel travels from island to island and teaches about marine conservation
methods to these students, and encouraged them to participate in fish population monitoring. The CI personnel in charge in this program, Rudy Dimara and Ronald Mambrasar, are also locals who have spent three years working for CI Indonesia, and who now have the ability to dive, monitor coral reef and fish, and are excellent and environmentally-friendly dive guides who can teach and share their knowledge about marine conservation to others. Moreover the monitoring team regularly gives basic lessons on marine ecosystems including coral reefs, and several introductory lessons on reef taxonomy, to students of the Christian University of Papua (UKIP) in the town of Sorong. The team also assisted students from UNSRAT Manado and UNAMIN Sorong in completing their final thesis.
2.3.3.2 RRaja aja Ampat Tourism Entrance FFee ee System Developed by CI in partnership with CORAL, the new Raja Ampat Tourism Entrance Fee System raised over $120,000 in its first 11 months of operation from 2,061 international guests and 182 Indonesian guests, with the proceeds shared directly with all 90 villages in Raja Ampat via the “Posyandu” system for improving health of pregnant and nursing mothers. 2.3.3.3 Community Outreach The marine monitoring team also conducted a number of capacity building programs to strengthen Papua’s human resources from the village level all the way to the university level. Three students from the University of Papua (UNIPA) undertook a two-month internship program at the Waiwo Field Station in Raja Ampat, Papua. CI Indonesia’s monitoring team introduced two coral reef monitoring

2.3.4 Kaimana Program
2.3.4.2 Community Outreach In March 2007 CI Indonesia started operating in Kaimana, and within months a new community -based Local Conservation Area was established, encompassing the Triton Bay area and the Iris Strait. In the 2008 fiscal year, CI Indonesia’s Kaimana program decided to focus on spreading information about this new area and upcoming conservation activities to local communities and the regional government. W orking together with BRIKA Radio Station, the K aimana team invited listeners to send their queries and voice their concerns via mobile text messaging. The interactive, one-hour conservation radio program was held twice a month, on the first and third Saturdays at 9 PM local time. Topics of discussion varied from CI Indonesia’s vision, mission and strategies, to conservation efforts, conser vation history, and local conservation areas and fisheries regulations.
2.3.4.1 KKaimana aimana Community -Based Marine Protected Areas Community-Based Our staff working in the Kaimana Corridor has made tremendous progress in their first year, gaining the support of the government and local communities. The traditional leaders of Kaimana have declared a 597,747 hectare (60,000 square km) Marine Protected Area. It was then officially declared by the government of Indonesia as a Marine Protected Area (Kawasan Konservasi Laut Daerah) at the end of November 2008. This significant step of protecting marine areas is a remarkable result of our efforts in conserving marine resources in Indonesia. The Government of Indonesia plans to expand these marine areas to 10 million hectares by 2010. The success in Kaimana has already contributed nearly 6 percent towards that goal.
Conservation topics were also presented to the public through film screenings in villages and relevant institutions. Different informa-

tion and topics were brought up at each screening, including films that illustrated the marine prosperity of the Bird’s Head Seascape, marine ecotourism, and other environmental topics.
The program was launched in March 2008 with a meeting in the Klungkung Regency and Nusa Penida sub-district. Since March, CI and TNC worked together to rationalize the idea of a Nusa Penida MPA to many potential conservation partners, including local community groups (seaweed farmers, fishermen, traditional village leaders), local NGOs, universities, media/journalist groups and private tourism sectors. Support for the program and the MPA is growing quickly and CI and TNC hope to have a full consortium of conservation partners on board soon.
In May of 2008, CI Indonesia was invited by the Christian Youth Group in Kaimana to hold an environmental workshop. The Kaimana Team used this opportunity to share information about conservation and global warming with local communities. In the future, CI Indonesia’s Kaimana program intends to conduct similar events for other religious-based groups in Kaimana.
In June, CI Indonesia conducted a preliminary hydrographic and oceanographic assessment in Nusa Penida using remote sensing, to gain an overview of Nusa Penida’s oceanographic characteristics and basic habitat distribution. CI Indonesia performed this assessment with the support of the South East Asia Centre for Ocean Research and Monitoring (SEACORM).
2.3.5 Nusa Penida Program Nusa Penida consists of three small islands which are commonly known as Bali’s three sisters. The islands, which are located off the southeastern shore of Bali within a sub-district in the Klungkung regency, are known for their coral diversity, strong nutrient-filled currents and the seasonal migration of the unique Mola-Mola Sunfish. The Nusa Penida MPA program, a new initiative within CI Indonesia’s Marine Program and a part of the new Sunda Banda Seascape (a joint program with TNC), aims to establish an MPA in Nusa Penida that will ensure the proper management of the region’s marine and coastal resources while providing benefits for the local communities. In particular, the program aims to help improve the management of seaweed farming and marine tourism in Nusa Penida, targeting the two most important industries for Nusa Penida’s economy.
In partnership with Madyapadma Journalistic Park, CI Indonesia also conducted the Nusa Penida Expedition. This gave 50 students from three high schools and two secondary schools based in Bali and Nusa Penida the opportunity to explore Nusa Penida and assess potential conservation strategies. The expedition was covered by two national media outlets (the Jakarta Post and Kompas) and three local media outlets (Bali Post, Suluh Bali Tablo id, Ginem magazine).
