Indonesias Forest Moratorium Moves Forwardaddressing the underlyingcauses of forest loss.
The President calls onministries, governors and
agencies to work togethernationally and locally toimplement the moratorium.

On May 20, 2011, IndonesianPresident Susilo BambangYudhoyono signed aPresidential Instruction(decree) putting into effect
a two-year moratorium onissuing new permits for useof primary natural forest andpeatland.
The highly anticipatedmoratorium is part of abroader $1 billion Indonesia-Norway partnership to
reduce emissions fromdeforestation anddegradation (known asREDD+).
According to governmentstatements, the decreeapplies to between 64 and 72million hectares of primaryforest and peatland.
The decree highlightsgovernance as a key area forimprovement, critical in

Meeting of Project Design Document for CoEREDD-plus Pilot Project in Central KalimantanOrganized by BPPT and sponsored by JST-JICA
Meeting of PDD (Project
Design Document) for CoE(Center of Excellence) on
REDD-plus Pilot Project in
Kalteng was held in BPPT
Office (Jakarta) on last 26-27
May 2011, with some
conclusions:
1. All activities under thepilot project should beaddressed to policymakers and be of benefitto local communities;
2. In order to effectivelyhalt deforestation andforest degradation underthe REDD+ scheme,REDD+ benefits must bedetermined and sharedaccording to the rights
and responsibilities
attached to specificactivities (incentives/benefits distribution);
3. In chase of J-VER(Japan-Verified EmissionReduction) scheme,which has been wellimplemented in Japan;(it`s verypossible)which can be introducedto Central Kalimantanwith some adaptations/modifications becausethe ideas and integrated
elements are alreadythere.4. The core components of
the CoE REDD+ are notjust the forest, carbonstock and social aspects,butalso the fires and
biodiversity
components.5. To form an institutionrelated to REDD+ (at alllevels) there needs tobe special authoritiesand functions reportingdirectly to stakeholders.
The meeting participants
came from various
institutions, such as: BPPT,
LIPI, Hokkaido University,
Indonesia MoF FORDA,
UNPAR, Nihon University,
UNMUL, IPB, UI, PT.RMU/Starling Resources,
KOMDA REDD+ Kalteng,
JICA and DNPI (Fig. 1).
Seminar on Hyperspectral MappingOrganized by JST, JICA and Indonesia Ministry of Forestry (M
On July 4th, the 2011 Seminar
on Hyperspectral Mapping
was held in the OperationRoom, Ministry of Forestry
Office (Jakarta) with
presenters and presentations
as follow:
Opening Remarks by Dr.Fathoni Tachir, (DG ofFORDA, MoF)
Introduction toComprehensive MRV(Prof. M. Osaki, HU)
Introduction to Hyper-spectral Mapping (Dr.Tomomi Takeda,ERSDAC)
Past and future plan ofHyper-spectral Mapping(Dr. M. Evri, BPPT)
Case study for peatland &mangrove fields (Mr. K.Hirose, HU)
Potential use of hyper-spectral for connectingwith INCAS (Dr. Orbita,LAPAN)
Potential use of
hyperspectral forSustainable ForestManagement (MoF)
Discussion (moderatedby Dr. Fathoni, MoF)
The hyperspectral data wouldsupport MRV REDD-plus,INCAS, etc. by improving theaccuracy of land coverclassification, estimatingabove-ground biomass, andmore detailed (canopy)species discriminationthrough detailed wavebandinformation.

The meeting was held at 3rdfloor of Central KalimantanGovernor`s Meeting Hall onJuly 8th, 2011 in Palangka
Raya (Central Kalimantan).The objectives of thisdiscussion were to getsupport, advice and inputfrom the members of KOMDAREDD-plus Kalteng about theconcept of the PDD REDD-plus CoE, which will beimplemented in CentralKalimantan. Presentationsdelivered by The Universityof Palangka Raya (UNPAR)and Hokkaido Universityteam members supported byJST-JICA Project.
This meeting resulted in thefollowing conclusions:
1. In principle, theGovernment of CentralKalimantan Provincesupports this initiative(REDD-plus CoE inCentral Kalimantan) as alocal initiative.
2. The REDD-plus CoEproject will involve theroles of KOMDA REDD-plus Kalteng but theremust be a clearcorrelation between allstakeholders in CentralKalimantan.

Field campaign activities held
during the period 11-21 July2011 collaboration between
BPPT, Hokkaido University,
UNPAR, Mitsubishi Research
Institute and ERSDAC over
peatland areas in Central
Kalimantan.
Hyperspectral remote
sensing uses narrow spectral
bands to detect and identify
minerals, terrestial
vegetation, man-made
materials and backgrounds,
so as to give more detailed
information about a featurescharacteristics.
Hyperspectral sensors are
very sensitive to plant
physiological stress, water
stress and the nutritional
status of foliage.
This field campaign using the
hyperspectral sensor: HyMAP
(400 to 2,500 nm) on board
the aircraft (CESSNA Type
402-B), ground measurement
using FieldSpec 3-FR
Spectroradiometer,combined with water quality
measurement and forest
surveys were conducted to
construct a forest
degradation monitoring
system using Hyperspectral
sensoring and to construct a
new approach to assessing
carbon emissions from peat-
land soil to the river.
