Chairperson’s remarks

It’s that time of the year again to reflect on what WWF-Indonesia has achieved during these challenging but exciting 12 months, when the Earth has experienced more than ever the symptoms of a changing climate and a host of other environmental problems that continue to afflict us all. The latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) make it abundantly clear that the evidence for climate change is unequivocal, and that there is precious little time for us to act to avoid dangerous climate change.

This year, research supported and carried out by WWF-Indonesia has highlighted the dire consequences from climate change that endangered species such as Borneo orang-utans will face over the next decades. This kind of research, along with a strong media presence and policy involvement, is a key element of WWF’s contribution to solutions to slow down and reverse dangerous effects from climate change in the years to come.

I wish to express my gratitude to the dedicated WWF-Indonesia staff who are bringing their skills and commitment to save Indonesian nature from Sumatra to Papua, and from Borneo to Timor. The “passionate staff” are working around the clock to stop

the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a sustainable future in which humans live in harmony with nature. When I met more than 300 WWF-Indonesia staff during the WWF-Indonesia National Meeting in Tanjung Lesung, Banten, in August 2007, I could feel the positive energy that makes the organisation grow every day. This energy is the result of a convergence of knowledge, teamwork, friendship and a solid network, and is expressed through our achievements during Fiscal Year 2007-2008.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the help of thousands of WWF supporters, donors and partners, and hence I also want to extend a heart-felt ‘thank you’ to all those who have helped WWF-Indonesia advance its mission this year.

In recent years, Indonesia has been increasingly under the global conservation spotlight. With conservation and sustainable development initiatives such as the Coral Triangle and the Heart of Borneo brought to the global community, we are excited to be active participants in these two programmes that were highlighted by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali. It

is now our duty to ensure the successful implementation of these initiatives.

WWF-Indonesia’s support to the Government of Indonesia as host of the UN Climate Change Conference contributed not only technical expertise but also positive energy to the event. The resulting Bali Action Plan is a roadmap that has brought together all countries in a joint effort to keep the global temperature increase below the 2 °C threshold. We are now all in this together. Our participation at this landmark conference has set the foundations for new partnerships, new initiatives, and most importantly, new hope.

Keep up the extraordinary spirit, my friends!

The heat is on. I clearly remember a tagline written for a WWF campaign targeted at participants of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 13th Conference of Parties (COP 13 UNFCCC, or UN Climate Change Conference) in Bali, in December 2007: “Hotter than I should be”. Yes, we are in a dead heat race to fight global warming and climate change.

The situation depicted by one of our stunts during the Bali conference on that unusually hot day in December, with two penguins protest against the warming earth, was very illustrative. We have seen massive glaciers melting and crashing into the sea, sea levels rising, unpredictable climate and heat waves, and loss of habitat.

We know from studies conducted more than 100 years ago by French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, British physicist John Tyndall and Swedish physicist Svante August Arrhenius that our Earth warms naturally due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, recent and authoritative research also shows that current concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide are a clear sign that human activities have affected the climate dramatically. We burn fossil fuel, release carbon dioxide, and the red bar in the thermometer keeps rising steadily. This much has been confirmed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the 2007 Nobel laureate.

Since 2002, WWF-Indonesia has been deeply involved in developing awareness activities focusing on climate and energy issues. Some of our staff have become regular contributors to, and members of, our national delegations to international events such as the UNFCCC Conference of Parties. During the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, the Government of Indonesia appointed two of our staff to join the country’s official delegation. It was an honour for us to be involved in this historic event hosted by Indonesia.

Despite sceptics’ criticisms, the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali has also carved a clear path towards the development of a post-Kyoto Protocol climate regime. The Bali Action Plan is expected to become a significant milestone towards building global ownership of climate change and bringing all countries together

to continue strategic talks. WWF’s contribution to the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) is particularly important.

In terms of engaging other stakeholders to mitigate the impacts of global warming, WWF-Indonesia has been developing some innovative programmes this year. In September 2007, we launched NEWTrees, a partnership with NOKIA and Equinox Publishing to replant 100,000 trees in critical areas of Sebangau National Park in Central Kalimantan. Meanwhile, we also created a tree adoption programme through the MyBabyTree website (www.mybabytree.org) , in partnership with renowned advertising agency JWT. Another addition is RhinoCare, a symbolic adoption programme that aims to raise funds to help conserve the endangered Javan rhinos.

WWF has been an active advocate of two multilateral network Initiatives, the Heart of Borneo and the Coral Triangle.WWF has supported both initiatives since their inception and we are committed to work with the governments to find sustainable solutions for these incredibly rich biodiversity areas.

For Earth Day, WWF-Indonesia collaborated with Jive Entertainment and Blitz Megaplex to screen the BBC documentary “Earth”. The response was well beyond our expectations, with 18,000 spectators flocking to Blitz cinemas in Jakarta and Bandung to watch this majestic tribute to our planet. We have also made some inroads with marketing, as shown by thousands of newly recruited WWF supporters and the increasing sales of WWF merchandise.

This year, we have developed a Strategic Plan for 2009-2013 which outlines strategic approaches to meet our conservation targets. We also believe human resources are the most valuable asset of the organisation. Hence we have carried out staff development training activities this year, focusing among others on leadership, conservation finance, and audiovisual skills.

Thank you for your invaluable efforts and unwavering commitment to do our best for a living planet.

A message from the Executive Director

research partners have revealed that Indonesia is particularly at risk from climate change.

What does climate change mean for Indonesia?

The reports of these studies, released prior to the 13th Conference of Parties (CoP) of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2007, highlighted some of the observed and projected climate change impacts in Indonesia:

The mean temperature in Indonesia has increased by about 0.3°C per year and is projected to further increase at a rate of 0.2-0.3°C per year in Indonesia.

This increase in temperature will affect the climate and cause negative impacts on humans and ecosystems, including: rising sea water levels, greater intensity of heavy rainfall and frequency of natural hazards including floods, landslides, forest and land fires, droughts and tropical storms.

Climate change may result in significant impacts on habitats and biodiversity, especially on coral reefs, migratory species and endangered species. It will also lead to increased transmission of diseases by insects (e.g. malaria and dengue).

Decreased rainfall during critical times of the year will translate into higher risk of drought, decreasing water debt, and consequently, failed harvests of key crops, food crises to affect the most vulnerable people, economic

instability and increase of poverty.

Due to the predicted sea level rise of 8-30 cm, Indonesia could lose up to 2,000 islands, affecting the security of the nation, displacing millions of people and disrupting lives.

The Bali Climate Change Conference

The severity of these threats has profound and severe implications for Indonesia’s development and the conservation of its natural heritage. As the host of UNFCCC CoP 13 (or UN Climate Change Conference) in Bali, Indonesia played a pivotal role in influencing the negotiations for a global climate agreement that aims to:

- reduce greenhouse gases

- cap emissions and

- encourage adaptation to climate change.

Working closely with the Indonesian Delegation, the CoP Presidential team and the Indonesian Presidential team, WWF-Indonesia provided support to ensure that this objective would be achieved. One positive output of the conference was the Bali Action Plan. This agreement forms the basis for formal negotiations to slash global greenhouse gas emissions after 2012. The Action Plan recognises four important building blocks: mitigation, adaptation, finance & investment, and technological transfer. Now, the race is on to finalise the Action Plan at CoP 15 in Copenhagen to form a new global agreement on climate change.

Focus on Bali

WWF-Indonesia was actively involved in supporting the government of Indonesia as the host to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali in December 2007. The conference’s decision on a Bali Action Plan (Road Map) was a vital starting point for formal global negotiations on greenhouse gas emissions and control, along with the issuance of Indonesia’s Climate Change Action Plan, which presents an adaptation and mitigation plan for Indonesia.

But this is also a country where the energy and industry sectors are still very dependent on polluting fossil fuels. Today, Indonesia continues to emit vast amounts of greenhouse gases, a situation worsened by high rates of deforestation and forest fires. Tackling both causes and impacts of climate change are therefore matters of high priority in Indonesia.

A head-on response to climate change…

WWF-Indonesia’s launched the Climate & Energy Programme in 2003, with an initial focus on two global climate change targets: carbon intensity reduction and adaptation strategies implementation. To achieve these targets, three areas of interventions were developed: the power sector, post-2012 Kyoto Protocol, resilience-building and adaptation strategies.

Intervention in the power sector is crucial since it contributes 20% of the country’s carbon emissions. Moreover, the government of Indonesia plans to rely on its substantial coal deposits for present and future power plants.

The Climate & Energy Programme has therefore focused on advocating a low-carbon

energy policy, raising public awareness with a national PowerSwitch! campaign, and facilitating stakeholders for developing a clean and sustainable energy sector. The Climate & Energy Programme has also helped to improve the capacity of Indonesian negotiators in elaborating national and international climate change strategies.

For the next five years (2009-2013), the Climate & Energy Programme will focus on securing deep cuts in greenhouse gas emission and helping strengthen resilience to climate change impacts of people’s livelihood, economy, biodiversity, and ecosystems.

Adapting to Climate Change

What is climate change adaptation? One way to see it is the ability of a system, e.g. an ecosystem or an institution, to cope with the impacts of climate change. As Indonesia is prone to disasters, adaptive capacity is highly needed because rehabilitation costs after disasters are greater than the costs of investing in preventive actions in the first place.

Adaptation strategies can vary. Some approaches involve acknowledging many non-

climate change stresses on natural systems. Limiting these stresses, such as pollution, habitat loss, and introduction of invasive species, will increase natural resistance and resilience of the ecosystems.

WWF has developed a programme for mainstreaming climate change adaptation and mitigation Programme through a pilot in small island development in Lombok, and institutional capacity building in climate change adaptation and mitigation in the province of West Nusa Tenggara. An intensive multi-stakeholder collaboration on adaptation has reaped results this year with the issuance of a gubernatorial decree in West Nusa Tenggara to form a task force for mainstreaming climate change mitigation and adaption in the province.

Our work on climate change adaptation on small islands and coastal areas looks at weaving links between climate change adaptation strategies, biodiversity and ecosystem conservation and poverty reduction. One example is our successful attempt to improve the management of coral reefs in West Bali to improve their resilience to climate change impacts. A key component of this approach was to build the capacity of local communities and widen their income opportunities.

Highlights in 2007-2008

Rolled out pilot adaptation activities in Lombok, West Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) and Papua.

Partnered with other organizations to integrate and mainstream climate change issues in their work. These include the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the German Technical Cooperation-Indonesia Ministry of Environment (GTZ-MoE) Programme on climate adaptation.

Developed a series of programmes and studies to support Indonesia’s forest carbon targets in response to encouraging policy developments such as the National Energy blueprint (Law Number 30/2007), and the Presidential Decree on Energy Savings. Activities focus on demonstration activities, climate adaptation and mitigation scenarios, national low carbon economy pathway, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) incentive and mechanism scheme at the national and local levels, sustainable financing scheme for climate and energy.

Provided assistance to strengthen the formation of the National Council on Climate Change, led by the President of Indonesia wherein we continue to have a key role in the future.

Mitigating Our EmissionsFor WWF-Indonesia, businesses and industries have an equal responsibility to lend a hand for climate change mitigation, particularly those that are active in the forestry, agriculture and energy sectors. The business community can achieve

this by allocating investments for renewable energy, such as geothermal, solar, biomass and micro-hydro sources, and implementing energy efficiency measures for their operations.

In early 2007, WWF-Indonesia assisted the government and other stakeholders to formulate a strong position for developing a REDD framework, creating policies and measures to reduce and monitor deforestation, improve capacity building, and developing initial ideas on demonstration activities. This collaboration provided Indonesia with a strong position during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2007.

REDD

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation, or REDD, is a policy mechanism that compensates tropical countries for safeguarding their forests. In Indonesia, WWF has been involved with the Indonesian Forest and Climate Alliance (IFCA) to produce a national conceptual framework for REDD since early 2007.

The Ministry of Forestry has drawn from the work of IFCA to develop the soon to be established Commission on REDD. WWF-Indonesia, in collaboration with different organisations, has disseminated the concept and the UNFCCC’s decision on REDD to local governments, NGOs, and communities in Kalimantan, Sumatra and Papua in order to increase the level of understanding of key stakeholders.

This year, WWF-Indonesia supported Indonesia’s efforts to mitigate CO2 in the energy sector

by emphasizing two aspects. On the energy supply side, WWF-Indonesia has been encouraging increased use of renewable energy in the national energy mix while on the energy demand side, we are continuing a campaign to promote efficient energy use.

(“Let’s save electricity!”) and “Smart Saving, Smart Living” have been acknowledged by national stakeholders as a successful tagline, as shown by the increasing number of queries on “PowerSwitch!” and requests for discussions, events, and meetings on energy issues.

This year, WWF-Indonesia successfully “outsourced” the campaign to local communities by establishing a supporter group called “Energy_Troops”. With more than 500 members, this group has become a strategic partner in holding “PowerSwitch!” campaign activities in several cities.


Established partnerships with multinational and national corporations to implement green building measures, such as the “Green Design Community” a group of architects, interior designers, and developers concerned with energy issues. Outputs include a regular green design seminar, the development of the “Green Design Book”, the organization of an annual, national “Green Festival” and the “Jakarta Green Office Competition” (co-supported by Jakarta’s government)

Organized screenings of the BBC movie “Earth” as part of the WWF Earth Day Campaign has attracted more than 18,000 people. The film played for two months at multiplexes in Jakarta and Bandung, as part of our collaboration with Jive Entertainment and Blitz Megaplex. “Earth” went on to become the single most watched documentary film at cinemas in Indonesia.

Set up dedicated climate change sections in partnership with bookstore chains, and helped bookstores arrange regular campaigns for customers and book reading communities.

In the debates between the skeptics and those who believe that global warming is real, environment wisdom keeps growing. Reward from developed countries on forest management is regarded merely as a bonus.*

*from an article in National Geographic Indonesia November Edition 2007’ insert “Global Warming: A Never Ending Trivia” by Ari Muhammad

“Energy Troops”, an independent community group that disseminates messages on energy use and encourages the public to take action on climate change issues. From this multi-stakeholder collaboration, over 5,000 people have signed a petition calling on the government and parliament members to put energy efficiency on the political agenda.

Sustained the PowerSwitch! campaign in Jakarta and other big cities such as Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Denpasar to raise awareness of larger audiences regarding energy use.

Our staff has also supported communities in Betung Kerihun National Park (West Kalimantan), Wakatobi National Park (Southeast Sulawesi), Mount Rinjani National Park (West Nusa Tenggara), and Muller Schwanner Forest (Central Kalimantan) to find alternative sources of energy for their daily needs by e.g. installing micro-hydro systems.

Campaigning for Awareness on energy efficiencyBetween 2004 and 2006 WWF-Indonesia rolled out the “PowerSwitch!” campaign, one of WWF’s global campaigns. “PowerSwitch!” calls for actions to use energy efficiently and switch from fossil fuel energy sources to cleaner sources by 2050. The “PowerSwitch!” campaign targeted the power

sector which contributes 37 percent of human-induced CO2 emissions globally, and more than 21 percent in Indonesia.

The campaign messages “Hemat Listrik, Yuk!”

Carbon dioxide emissions from Indonesia’s energy sector are increasing every year. As energy consumption continues to grow, greenhouse gas emissions will follow a similar trend—especially with Indonesia’s increasing reliance on coal for energy production.

But another scenario exists. The 2007 WWF report “Climate Solutions: WWF’s Vision for 2050”, shows that the technology for sustainable energy exists and that our resources are more than enough to meet growing energy demands, which are expected to double by 2050.

Our “WWF Climate Solutions Model” presents an approach whereby industrial development using existing energy resources and sustainable energy

technology could avoid the dangerous climate change in 2050—while still accommodating the growing global energy consumption.

In Indonesia, we have been playing an active role by contributing to the dialogue on sustainable energy. We funded a study on Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP) in Indonesia (February 2008), we organized a Low Carbon Economy Workshop, and we developed activities on innovative development trends in Indonesia, through cooperation with the Institute for Essential Services Reform/IESR in January 2008. Further, we initiated a feasibility study on Micro-hydro in Tanjung Lokang, Betung Kerihun National Park in West Kalimantan (2006) and Central Kalimantan’s Murung Raya District (2008).

Climate Justice—and Indigenous PeopleIn Indonesia, many indigenous and traditional peoples have been pushed to the margins and most fragile lands as a consequence of historical, social, political and economic exclusion. They are among those at greatest risk from climate change. But while these people have valuable knowledge about adapting to climate change, the magnitude of future hazards may exceed their ability to adapt. Coastal people in particular are likely to be most affected by climate (sea-level rise, eroded coastlines, shrinking of small islands, bleaching of coral reefs, etc).

To address this issue, WWF-Indonesia aims to improve equity and reduce the heavy toll climate change will inflict on local people at our project sites. Our interventions include preventing environmental hazards by planting trees, improving agro-forestry schemes, and blocking water drainage canals in the peat swamp areas to reduce the risk of forest fires.

Meanwhile, we are assisting local and indigenous people to protect areas with high conservation value forests and carry out documentation of Community Conserved

Areas (CCAs), or areas that have been traditionally conserved or sustainably managed by indigenous peoples, for legal recognition and possible inclusion in REDD schemes

In climate change discussions and negotiations, the issues of forest tenure and the rights of Indigenous Peoples often emerge as critical issues that need to be addressed more forcefully and more equitably in the future. Indigenous and local peoples have contributed to the preservation of broad forest cover that helps secure climate stability at local level and mitigate negative effects of climate change. The recognition of the role of IPs and their right to appropriate rewards through the implementation of fair REDD mechanisms will help redress the issue of climate “injustice.”

In terms of energy “justice”, actions have to tackle what have been basic lack of adequate supply of electricity and viable sources of energy for indigenous people living in remote and isolated areas. Mini-hydro, solar panel, wind-generated electricity are important ways to provide non-polluting and cheap sources of electrical power for isolated communities, and guarantee the right to energy of these communities.

Public and Media AwarenessFor the public at large, the UN Climate Change Conference sent a clear signal that each and every one of us needs to make a contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by changing our behaviour. For this reason, WWF implemented and supported a variety of initiatives before, during and after the conference, including:

• The Asian Young Leaders Climate Forum (AYLCF), in collaboration with the British Council and Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). Young people are more creative and eager to meet this global challenge. By working with youth ‘leaders’, we can spread key messages more quickly across the community. This platform received the support of Sir Nicholas Stern.

• Partnerships with the media, including with The Jakarta Post, Metro TV, National Geographic Indonesia and the Society of Indonesian Environmental Journalists (SIEJ) to build capacity to cover climate change issues through joint media trips, workshops, and publication.

• Media friendly side-events and stunts to remind negotiators, the media, and the general public about the importance of obtaining a global deal on climate change

• Side and parallel events (e.g. the Heart of Borneo, Coral Triangle Initiative, etc.). During the conference, the Heart of Borneo was recognised by the President in two of his speeches.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), during 2000 and 2005 Indonesia lost a 1.87 million ha of forest every year. When a forest area of that size is lost, this carries a range of serious consequences, including habitat loss for endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger and orang utans, loss of sources of livelihoods for forest-dependent communities, and loss of essential ecological functions that might lead to environmental disaster such as floods and drought.

Forest, Freshwater and Terrestrial Species Programme

16

WW


eport FY 2007-2008

WWF-Indonesia is deeply committed to reverse these trends, maintain the quality and quantity of forest and freshwater habitats, and assure the long term survival of endangered and endemic species. In 2007 and 2008, our Programme has sustained efforts to promote sustainable forest management and management effectiveness for national parks in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, and Papua. We are paying particular attention to “species of concern”, including the rhino (Javan and Sumatran species), Bornean orang-utans, Sumatran elephants and Sumatran tigers.

The ‘Heart of Borneo’— from Commitments to Action Besides the island of New Guinea, the ’Heart of Borneo’ (HoB) is the only place remaining in Southeast Asia where tropical rainforests can still be conserved on a very large scale—a place where endangered species such as orang-utans, elephants and rhinos, and countless other undiscovered species continue to thrive. This 220,000 km² area straddles the mainly mountainous terrain of the international border between Indonesia and Malaysia, and reaches out through the foothills into adjacent lowlands, including parts of Brunei.

Since 2004, WWF has assisted Borneo’s three nations (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia) to conserve the Heart of Borneo through a network of protected areas and sustainably-managed forests, and supported by a global effort of cooperation led by the Bornean governments.

These efforts culminated with a landmark signing of the HoB Initiative Declaration by the three governments in February 2007.

As a first step in turning this commitment into action, the three countries met during 2007 and 2008 to develop country-level work plans. Currently, the three countries have agreed to five priorities: Trans-boundary Management, Protected Areas Management, Sustainable Natural Resources Management, Ecotourism Development, and Capacity Building.

Signalling the shift to “on the ground” activities, WWF-Indonesia’s HoB Programme has changed its role from coordination to implementation. The HoB National Action Plan for Indonesia will be completed in December 2008, under the leadership of the National HoB Working Group. A Provincial HoB Working Group was established in 2007 to provide additional support.

WWF-Indonesia is supporting the Government of Indonesia to follow up on commitments made to donors, including: Germany, the UK and the Asian Development Bank. Examples of activities being carried out by WWF-Indonesia to protect HoB include:

• the development of a forest corridor between Betung Kerihun and Danau Sentarum national parks,

• assisting the government in the review and development of island, provincial and district levels spatial plans,

Expanding the Global Forest and Trade NetworkThe Indonesian wood products sector has been under considerable pressure in recent years due to the combined effects of reduced wood supply, rising costs, and increasing competition from other Asian countries. Indonesian wood products have generally become less competitive in the international market. In Europe, demand for Indonesian wood products has decreased as a result of publicity around illegal logging problems.

To address the current challenges in the forestry sector, WWF-Indonesia has been actively promoting responsible forestry and linking responsible producers with the marketplace through the WWF Global Forest and Trade Network (GFTN).

By facilitating trade links for companies committed to achieving and supporting

responsible forestry, the GFTN creates market conditions that help conserve forests while providing economic and social benefits for the businesses and people that depend on them.

Launched in 2003, WWF FTN Indonesia is working with 32 companies as of June 2008 (nine forest participants and 23 trade participants in Java and Kalimantan). Of the trade participants, 18 members are factories that produce furniture, three members operate plywood mills, and the remaining two members produce other wood products.

The Forest Conversion Programme Pushes New BoundariesThe global WWF Forest Conversion Programme lies at the intersection of responsible agribusiness and conservation. Our focus is to enhance the market value of sustainable produced commodities like palm oil and ensuring that producers implement the principles and criteria agreed as part of the Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) . These include protecting high conservation value forest areas inside the concessions, banning burning as a land-clearing practice, and limiting the use of pesticides.

to reduce the damaging impacts of unsustainable oil palm production on the remaining natural forest.

Through our efforts, we anticipate that sustainable principles and criteria will not only be adopted by the producers and the supply chain, but also by financial institutions, investors, and consumers. Currently, WWF Indonesia is working with four palm oil companies to help them implement RSPO principles and criteria, including the adoption of the High Conservation Value Forests tool and Best Management Practices.

An Update from WWF’s Work in AcehAn increasing number of human-wildlife conflicts in Aceh indicate that there has been

considerable destruction in Acehnese forest. High rates of deforestation in the province have created substantial damage in many watersheds, leading to floods and landslides.

Putting the issue in the spotlight, WWF-Indonesia organized a seminar on Integrated Watershed Management of Krueng Peusangan, one of Indonesia’s critical watersheds located in Aceh Province, in March 2008. The purpose of this seminar was to generate understanding among the five local districts about the importance of an integrated watershed management plan, to introduce the process for forming a watershed forum with an endorsement from the provincial government, and to establish a mutual strategy and integrated Programme among the five districts. The seminar also addressed the flash floods and landslides that occur almost every year, evidence that the watershed is already in poor conditions.

Our efforts to promote the achievements of the Green Coast project at national level have resulted in an unexpected success. One of Green Coast Programme beneficiaries, Azhar Idris, received an ”environmental hero ambassador” award by Coca-Cola, and was given the honor to carry the Olympic Torch in Indonesia.

Spatial Planning—Towards Sustainable Land Use in IndonesiaWWF-Indonesia continues to promote the concepts of landscape conservation, ecoregional planning and High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) analysis across the archipelago. These are powerful instruments to promote sustainable land use for large area or island units.

Our role in the last few years as a partner to the government in spatial planning allowed for our increasing, positive contribution to national development. For example, our input on ecological and biodiversity considerations is expected to enrich the draft Islands Spatial Plan. During 2007 and 2008, our geographic focus included Sumatra, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara and Papua, which are key areas for WWF-Indonesia field programmes and activities.

A cross-border approach between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea has been applied in the TransFly ecoregion in order to accommodate biodiversity conservation targets in the district and provincial spatial plans, and secure the preservation of important community/cultural places earmarked for development.

This year, our engagement with central and local governments to promote sustainable land use through improved spatial planning has received a generally good response and governmental support. For instance, the National Spatial Planning Coordination Body has used several recommendations, including those from WWF-Indonesia, to formulate policies on spatial

planning. More recently, our input into the Heart of Borneo Land Use Plan has been adopted into Indonesia’s National Spatial Plan. The Heart of Borneo was mentioned as a “National Strategic Area” in the Government Regulation No. 28/ 2008 on National Spatial Plan, which was signed by the President of Indonesia.

The Struggle to Save Our Endangered SpeciesDespite local conservation successes, Indonesia’s endangered species are still under threat from habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, habitat degradation, conflict with humans and illegal poaching. Tigers, elephants, rhinos and orang-utans are WWF’s priority endangered species.

The cost of the ongoing conversion of natural forest for tree or agriculture plantations can be measured by the dramatic reduction in the population of large endangered species. In Riau Province (Sumatra), there were around 1,067-1,617 elephants living in 11 different locations in the midst 1980s. Due to natural forest conversion, by 2007 only around 210 elephants remained, scattered in nine locations (local extinction occurred in two locations). As recently as 1978, there were 1,000 Sumatran tigers roaming around Sumatra. The population dropped to 800 tigers in 1985, 500 in 1994, and today there are probably less than 300 tigers remaining in the wild.

Meanwhile, in Kalimantan, orang-utan habitat destruction has also occurred due to natural forest conversion. Conflicts between orang-utans and humans in Kalimantan is increasing and, as a result, these primates are illegally captured, traded, killed or are sent to rehabilitation centres that are already functioning at full capacity. In Central Kalimantan, there are now around 1,000 orang-utans in two rehabilitation centres. Most of them cannot be released into the wild due to insufficient natural habitat.

To protect conservation areas from encroachment, poaching, illegal logging, and other forest crimes, WWF-Indonesia has continued its participation in protection patrols, conflict mitigation, promoting sustainable agriculture and sustainable natural resource utilization with communities in surrounding areas.

At a decision-making level, we have sustained our engagement with the government for increased recognition of areas that are critical for species survival. Our approach has emphasized the expansion of habitat networks, which consist of protected areas and pristine natural areas linked by connecting corridors. Since not all of species’ habitat can be turned into protected areas, guidelines are developed/needed for better management practices, conflict mitigation protocols, and planning tools that decrease impacts on wildlife.

A closer look at animal life

From Sumatra to Borneo, WWF-Indonesia has played a major role in improving our understanding of the behaviour of large mammals. In 2007-2008, through the use of camera and video “traps”, we have gained new insights into how rhinos protect their young, where elephants roam, and a better understanding of tiger populations and distribution in Sumatra.

In addition to photos, a new technological breed of video traps have been providing valuable information about rhinos. Current camera and video trap placements have revealed the behaviour of three Javan rhinos—one male, a mother and her calf—in Ujung Kulon National Park, Java. The material that we have collected reveals details of rhino behaviour while wallowing, mother-calf relationships and insights into how young rhinos are protected by adults that had sofar eluded us.

Camera and video trap data is also used to study the impacts of improved habitat conditions on rhino distribution and movement. This information will be necessary to prepare the protocols to set up a second population of Javan rhinoceros outside their current habitat in Ujung Kulon National Park, a safety measure to help prevent their extinction.

Most, if not all, of Indonesia’s capture fisheries are fully or overexploited. Adding to this problem are efforts to increase the catch of Indonesia’s fisheries, pushing fish populations ever closer to the brink of depletion. Poor fisheries management practices further increase the problem.

Marine Programme

WW


eport FY 2007-2008

To offset the impacts of overfishing, destructive fishing, exploitation of endangered marine species and climate change, WWF-Indonesia has deployed a range of approaches to ensure a responsible use of oceans and coastal environments. A substantial part of our efforts involves strengthening marine protected areas.

Zoning Success for Wakatobi National ParkIn 2007, a major achievement for WWF was the signing of the Wakatobi Marine National Park Zoning Plan. This historic document, signed by the Director General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation at the Ministry of Forestry and the Wakatobi District Head, is the first of its kind. Usually, national park zoning documents are only signed by the Ministry of Forestry. The district government’s agreement to participate heralds a new era towards better governance and collaboration in national park management

The plan was designed through discussions and a series of public consultation events that involved all relevant stakeholders at local and national levels. The document also incorporated a range of scientific considerations intended to meet the ecological needs of the Wakatobi area.

The Wakatobi zoning was explicitly incorporated into the development of an integrated Wakatobi District Land Use Plan. This gives more negotiating leverage to Wakatobi National Park authority. Obviously, this management success in Wakatobi will provide an important precedent for our marine protected work in the rest of the archipelago.

Charting a New Course for the Coral Triangle

The ‘Coral Triangle’ refers to a roughly triangular shaped region of adjacent marine zone containing some of the best coral reef areas, 500 or more species of reef-building coral and important fisheries. This region covers all or part of the seas of six countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste.

For more than 20 years, WWF has been working at various marine sites with partners in the private sector, governmental agencies and civil society to carry out cutting-edge marine research and policy reform, and pioneer collaborative management of marine protected areas. The CT initiative allows for the integration and magnification of WWF’s work to ensure the health of the region’s natural treasures, protection of key spawning grounds for important species, and sustenance of millions of livelihoods that depend on marine resources.

During this first year of the Programme’s implementation, the WWF Coral Triangle initiative further developed its strategic plan and put in place its internal governance systems. The Coral Triangle is beginning to generate substantial attention, both as an area and as a partnership programme among governments of the region. This initial momentum has mobilized substantial interest from governments outside of the Coral Triangle, as well as support from NGOs and the private sector inside the region, with initial funding commitments for a “Coral Triangle Initiative on coral reefs, fisheries and food security”.

Development of a conservation plan for the Coral Triangle

Establishment of a regional secretariat within the Indonesian government to coordinate activities over the coming year

Progress with the government stakeholder engagement process. Indonesia hosted the first coordination meeting in Jakarta in May 2008, with participants representing the six governments, and outside experts from NGOs, donor governments and multilaterals. Jakarta Draft of a Coral Triangle Plan of Action adopted.

The World Oceans Conference, to be hosted by Indonesia in May 2009 provides a key opportunity for a Coral Triangle Presidential Summit to adopt the plan of action and to announce several globally significant conservation achievements.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is now leading discussions among donors to create the necessary bridges between bilateral and multilateral donors. Clearly, ADB is increasing donor comfort level to invest into the initiative. Already, the Global Environment Facility and ADB have committed funds.

Public Education and Communications ActivitiesThis year, the WWF project Strengthening Outreach and Education Network for Natural Resource Governance in Sulawesi continued promoting environmental issues through newspapers, television and radio, and has expanded to South Sulawesi. In partnership with Lestari Foundation in North Sulawesi and Yayasan ELSIM in South Sulawesi, the programme has raised awareness among the general public about the threats from mining, climate change and sustainable fisheries on the island.

WWF’s fully supported Multi-Media-Machine (M3) campaign programme in Kendari has expanded its collaboration with Kolaka Municipality, Bau-Bau Municipality and Walhi Sultra (Friends of the Earth Southeast Sulawesi). Two major electronic media outlets, Kendari TV and Swara Alam Radio, showed renewed commitment to

keeping media attention on the issue of natural resource governance by providing at least one environmental news item per day, and Kendari Pos (a local newspaper) has developed its own environmental section named “Ekologi”.

The environmental education programme led by WWF-backed FOCIL Indonesia was acknowledged by Kendari Municipality and the Wakatobi District Government. A total of 38 schools have agreed to implement the environmental curriculum and the “learning in nature” teaching method. Moreover, both governments have allocated funding to develop teaching instruments including learning materials, syllabus, teachers’ training and a pilot school in Wakatobi. FOCIL Indonesia has become the main partner of Kendari Municipality for garbage management, while it is also providing a learning centre for teachers, students and educators.

WWF-Indonesia highlighted these local achievements at national level through media visits and campaign. Almost all major national TV stations and newspapers were engaged in covering environmental issues and have been very supportive.

To increase awareness of marine and fisheries issues, the WWF-Indonesia Marine Programme has been working with the WWF Marketing, Membership and Environmental Education division. In promoting sustainable seafood consumption, responsible marine ecotourism and the importance of marine ecosystems, we organized movie screenings (e.g. Green Screen in Manado), exhibitions and education-entertainment activities (e.g. Bobo Fair, Cozy Street Corner) in large cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Manado and Kendari. In these efforts, we have received support from notable public figures, such as Nugie, Jamaica Café a cappella, and others.

PhotoVoices in partnership with WWF-Indonesia implemented an innovative visual and conservation programme in Lamalera (Lembata) where local people were empowered to take pictures of their place, culture, traditions and ways of living in relation to the environment and natural resources. During 2008, the pictures were exhibited in Jakarta and Bali and the people of Lamalera shared glimpses of their lives and unique whale-hunting traditions.

For the last five years, WWF-Indonesia’s Marine Turtle Programme has focused on two priority species, leatherback turtles and green turtles. Our priorities: curb the most significant threats and ensure effective protection at the most critical sites for both species. We do this by protecting critical habitat using marine protected areas, promoting a reduction of direct take by reducing demand (meat and eggs) and helping to reduce indirect take from fishing vessels (‘bycatch’).

Global warming is perhaps the greatest long-term threat to marine turtles. While some conservation gains have been made for the species in terms of nesting beach protection, reductions in fisheries by catch and reduction of consumption, new threats are appearing. These include projected inundation of nesting beaches from rising sea levels, more storms, and a reduction in hatching success and skewed sex ratios because of temperature shifts.

Sand temperature skews turtle egg sex ratios

With climate change bringing new pressures on the species, turtles and their habitat must be carefully monitored. This allows biologists and conservationists to react more quickly when beaches suddenly become uninhabitable or food sources become unavailable. Through a long-term beach monitoring Programme at Jamursba Medi, a leatherback nesting beach in Papua, we have

documented reduced hatching success in recent years. High sand temperatures (up to 34 ۫ C) have been recorded, explaining the hatching failure of some of the nests. Continued monitoring of sand temperature and sex ratio assessments will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Papua.

In the wake of turtles

With ocean temperatures on the rise, there are concerns of changes in ocean currents, especially for routes for females returning to nest. For WWF, tracking turtles’ migration pathways allows us to identify their critical habitats and to protect them throughout their life cycle.

Making Nesting Beaches Stronger

Protecting nesting beaches and the forest behind them is a good start to secure a safer habitat for turtles. Beaches can then ‘move’ landward as ocean levels rise, sustaining their role in providing habitat for nesting turtles. Hence, a more flexible turtle-based protected area should be anticipated when designing a marine protected area that includes marine turtles.

Through these activities, we need to maximize the chances that every egg hatches, every baby turtles lives, so that marine turtles can survive in the face of new challenges brought by climate change.

2007 and 2008 have seen high price rises for almost all basic and key commodities. Compared with 2003 records, oil prices went up 300 percent, corn 70 percent and copper 360 percent. According to the International Monetary Fund, the prices for non-fuel primary commodities have risen by 50 percent since early 2007.

Governance, Community and Corporate Engagement“Influencing Economic Drivers and Policies”

So what’s the connection with the environment? Production of commodities to meet growing demand is a major driver of environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. But WWF believes that robust economic growth and a healthy, functional environment can go hand in hand if sustainability principles are applied and the right policies are in place.hand in hand if sustainability principles are applied and the right policies are in place.

In 2008, an Indonesian delegation attended the Conference of Parties for Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) in Bonn, Germany. At this event, the Action Plan for the Heart of Borneo was launched with the attendance of the Secretary General of CBD and the Germany Delegation. WWF-Indonesia provided assistance to the Indonesian government during the discussions at both the main event and other side-events.

To highlight Indonesia’s commitment to mitigate climate change, the President of Indonesia launched the “Indonesia Menanam” initiative (reforestation programme). In the meantime, WWF also launched NEWtrees and MyBabyTree initiatives, whereby the public can participate by planting trees online and monitoring their growth using Google Earth.

With companies

WWF has promoted sustainable approaches and initiatives such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and Forest Stewardship Council forest certification through the Nusa Hijau initiative. Through these schemes, corporations strive towards more sustainable practices and minimize their impacts on the environment.

For non-extractive businesses, WWF-Indonesia has begun offering “Green Office,” a series of simple steps and actions to limit energy consumption and optimize office management according to environmental principles. Green Office is suitable for small and large offices in both the private and public sector, and promotes practical, green measures regarding energy, water and paper use among others. Initiatives such as “Green Office” strengthen public, and hence consumer, awareness and interest in environmental sustainability.

In the policy arena...

A provincial regulation on watershed management issued in March 2008 by the East Nusa Tenggara Provincial government represents a real breakthrough for the region, known as one of the driest areas in Indonesia.The issue of water management will become increasingly crucial as the impacts of climate begin to build up. WWF-Indonesia will strengthen its role and keep providing systematic assistance to local governments that commit to sustainable development. One example is the Memorandum of Understanding for collaboration between Malinau District (Kalimantan) and WWF, signed in May 2008.

With communities...

Local communities are key stakeholders in natural resource management and can effectively contribute to the preservation of important

WWF-Indonesia has two new reforestation programmes under way, My Baby Tree and NEW trees, which are carried out in protected areas and buffer zones.

Mybabytree initiative was developed by WWF-Indonesia and JWT (a prestigious global advertising agency) to persuade individuals concerned with deforestation issues and climate change to participate in reforestation by purchasing trees online via the My Baby Tree website (www.mybabytree.org).

Meanwhile, the NEWtrees initiative allows companies that meet WWF criteria (regarding green policy) to restore the forests. This is a joint initiative by WWF-Indonesia, Nokia and Equinox Publishing to replant trees in degraded areas of protected areas throughout Indonesia.

NEWtrees and My Baby Tree have developed a proprietary mechanism for this reforestation initiative. Every hectare (100m x 100m) contains 400 trees planted at 5-metre intervals. The cost per tree is IDR 50,000 or IDR 20,000,000 per hectare.

in 2008, the My Baby Tree initiative aims to plant 1,600 trees on 4 hectares in Sebangau National Park, Central Kalimantan. Meanwhile, NEWtrees has already planted 130 hectares for Garuda Indonesia and will be planting another

272 hectares for Garuda Indonesia, Nokia and Surya Palacejaya, a quality paper distributor.

Next, NEWtrees will expand to protected forests on Mount Rinjani, Lombok (100 hectares will be planted with the support of Nokia) and in the buffer zone of Ujung Kulon National Park, West Java (50 hectares on behalf of the Ministry of State Enterprises).

WWF-Indonesia aims to have 1,750 ha planted per year through these reforestation initiatives. With more corporations expressing interest in NEWtrees, there are positive signs that this target will be met.

Our first membership category, Junior Conservationist, is aimed at pupils and is based on the “WWF Goes to School” programme. 2007-2008 saw an increase of more than 6,000 new members.

The “Nature Buddy” category targets young adults and relies on WWF publications for recruiting. The number of members in this category has stayed relatively constant, with a modest growth of 300 members per year.

The newest type of membership is “Nature Guardian”. Every Nature Guardian donates on a monthly basis to support our work. Started in October 2006 in Jakarta, this programme has expanded to other cities and recruited new supporters successfully.

In addition, our membership programmes have been boosted with donations from other sources such as the Coca-Cola Foundation, UBS and Ranch Market.


Partnered with Ranch Market, a major player in the high-class supermarket industry in Indonesia, with a “Green Mission” campaign that includes reducing plastic bag use, promoting organic food and a donation programme.

The WWF-Indonesia Merchandising Division plays

an important role in raising public awareness.

The Indonesian market is receptive to the idea

of donating to WWF by buying WWF products.

This year, the merchandise programme ran a

campaign revolving around changing customers’

behaviour. The “Proud to be a Green

Shopper” campaign encouraged public

action to reduce emissions and their

carbon footprint. Packaged in a popular

and fun format, the campaign delivered

information and practical tips for

being a ‘green shopper’, while at the

same time encouraging consumers

to donate for WWF’s conservation

work around the archipelago.

To support the campaign,

WWF-Indonesia kept a regular

schedule at popular shopping malls with activities

focusing on reusable waste, ‘green’ storytelling,

trivia quizzes, carbon calculators, and adopt-a-

tree. Our fundraising efforts in the context of these

campaigns have yielded positive results.

These activities caught the attention of several

companies. Citibank Credit Card is currently

using WWF merchandises for its Point Reward

Programmes. Now, Citibank card holders can redeem

their points with various WWF Panda products.

Despite these achievements, we still face challenges

in marketing environmental issues to urban people.

There is still limited understanding of the role of

conservation in protecting valued ecosystems and

endangered species, and in preserving the quality of

life . This situation calls for an integrated marketing and

awareness strategy to try to draw the highest sympathy

from the public in achieving WWF-Indonesia’s goal.

WWF is a member of Climate Action Network (CAN), an association with more than 400 NGO members worldwide. As a CAN member, WWF-Indonesia organized stunts at the Bali Climate Conference to get public attention on specific issues. The stunt events included Giant Snails – to emphasise the slow pace in negotiations, Penguins – to remind us that the Arctic is melting, a Thermometer – encouraging us to turn down the heat, Capoeira – to fight climate change and Burst CO2 Balloon – to remind the impacts of our footprints. Prezz and Jazz took a central way to thank media in supporting and working together with us throughout this semester featuring Indonesian jazz musician and composer: Indra Lesmana and the Kayon. He distributed 100 special edition WWF-Kayon CD albums to our guests complete with WWF logo. Finally, exclusively for Government representatives, WWF-Indonesia invited Garin Nugroho, a prominent cultural analyst and film director, with Braja Sandhi Balinese traditional dance troupe to present “Under the Trees”, a story based on a Lontar leaf ancient legend.

“Communications and Outreach” implemented a series of events towards World Earth Day 2008 known locally as Bumi-ku Satu – “One Planet Living”. Showcasing to the general public what WWF-Indonesia does to conserve our environment and to strengthen our constituencies this year, WWF-Indonesia organised a “Green Screen”, screening of environmental movies, throughout Indonesia. “Green Screen” was shown mostly in campuses across Indonesia, e.g. Institut Teknologi Bandung (Bandung), Universitas Lampung (Lampung), Universitas Sam Ratulangi (Manado), Universitas Mulawarman (Balikpapan), but also in Aksara Bookshop, Coca-Cola Auditorium (Jakarta and its outskirts).

Communications plays a crucial role in linking public response towards our conservation goals. This year, WWF-Indonesia has expanded its collaborations with advertising and public relations agencies on a pro-bono basis for our Nature Talks media campaign.

messages to “turn down the heat” are well perceived nationally, based on our strategy to leverage the UN Climate Change Conference.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between WWF-Indonesia and Garuda Indonesia for a second replanting programme in early 2008, in collaboration with the Ministry of Forestry and the Central Kalimantan government. This event was promoted in the Garuda in-flight magazine.

Equinox donated reams of 100% recycled copy paper and Subur donated their 100% soy ink to print the WWF-Indonesia Annual Report 2005-2006.

HSBC approved to help “WWF Goes to School” and for the publication of a teacher’s handbook for elementary schoolchildren, with the Ministry of Education.


Secured intensive media coverage in the lead-up to the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali.

Environmental Education Programme, from awareness building to education for sustainable developmentFor many years now, WWF-Indonesia has been building an environmental

education program to enable students and teachers to better participate

in achieving our organisation’s mission. The Environmental Education

Programme is expected to increase public awareness and knowledge about

environmental issues and problems. In doing so, it provides the public

with the necessary skills to to analyze environmental issues, engage in

problem-solving, and take actions to sustain and improve the environment.

During 2007-2008, the environmental education and the Heart of Borneo Programme agreed to conduct environmental education activities in the Heart of Borneo: Kutai Barat (East Kalimantan), Murung Raya and Katingan (Central Kalimantan), and Melawi (West Kalimantan). These activities, started in March 2008 and include developing and adopting a local school curriculum, providing assistance to green schools, and training teachers and communities. This programme was shared at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) Fair in conjunction with the Convention of Biological Diversity Conference of Parties in Bonn, Germany, in May 2008.

This year, the long-established “WWF Goes to School Programme” secured funding from HSBC to continue visits to elementary schools, and raise environmental awareness amongst younger generations. The division has also sustained its annual Eco Camp Programme for school children.

To deal with the growing needs of the WWF-Indonesia thematic work, the Environmental Education Programme has been supporting other projects. This includes the development of environmental education modules in Alor Solor, training on High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) for the firm PT LONSUM in Medan (Sumatra) and Palembang (South Sumatra). Meanwhile, we also already have environmental education officers and activities at our sites.
