Part A: Project updates

A1 Key events

Benefit-sharing

In December 2016 and March 2017 village forest management representatives met to discuss small changes to the benefit

sharing plan, the most notable of which was the women’s group increasing their share from 10 to 20% of revenues.

Events

In September 2016, the Directorate General of Social Forestry and the Ministry of Environment (PSKL) of the Indonesian Ministry

of Environment and Forestry held an event in Jakarta in order to socialize community forestry approaches including Village

Forests, Customary Forests and other Community Forestry schemes. The Head of the Durian Rambun Village Institution

(Muhammad Abton) was invited as one of the keynote speakers.

Routine patrols and monitoring

The patrol and monitoring activities carried out by the Durian Rambun LPHD patrol team aimed to secure the Village Forest area

from the activities of encroachment and hunting of animals, the results of patrol activities carried out during the period of 2015 -

2017 were patrolled 19 times. Patrol results revealed continued presence of many threatened species including the Sumatran

tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), Malay tapir (Tapirus indicus), Sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), king kuau (Argusianus argus),

gibbons (Hylobates agilis), sambar deer (Cervus unicolor), leopard cat (Neofelis diardi).

Village government buy-in:

For village forest management activities to be carried out effectively the buy-in and participation of the village government needs

to be significant. The involvement of the village head, the BPD chairman and the customary management is steadily increasing,

as seen from the involvement of the village administration in the inauguration of LPHD officials and the provision of incentives to

continue securing the forest area of Durian Rambun village. In addition to supporting the security of village forest areas the

village government also provides support to the women's groups in the form of purchasing coffee processing equipment.

Agroforestry:

In addition to conducting routine patrol activities conducted every month, LPHD is actively conducting forest rehabilitation

activities through the HHBK group of the Rio Kemunyang Village Forest, by planting native forest species as well as species that

have economic value (e.g. meranti, dragon’s blood, durian) and the women’s group is still actively processing coffee powder and

selling on the local market.

A2 Successes and challenges

Governance

Durian Rambun village forest is demonstrating good coordination between the LPHD, and village government. This is of key

importance to ensure project governace is cohesive and activities receive support across the whole community. Joint patrols have

occasionally been conducted together with the police and the military demonstrating good communication and coordination with

external agencies as well. A remarkable success of the project was to connect with government scheme called Alokasi Dana Desa

(ADD), a poverty-alleviation scheme which is normally accessed to build necessary infrastructure through which the village

accessed 100,000 USD.

Ecosystem

At present the biggest threat to ecosystems in Durian Rambun village continues to be forest encroachment that occurs around

the Durian Rambun village forest, as land surrounding the village forest is gradually converted for agricultural land. The main

threat from encroachment has come from one of the neighbouring villages, Tiaro. In Tiaro forest resources have been exhausted

and so villagers have repeatadly attempted to clear forest within Rio Kemunyang (Durian Rambun) village forest. Through careful

Page 7: Durian Rambun Plan Vivo project Annual report 2015-2018 · 2020-07-20 · 2 annual report year 2015 - 2018 3 summary 3 part a: project updates 5 part b: project activities 8 part

7

negotiation Tiaro villagers were asked to leave and Durian Rambun villagers planted rubber trees in the cleared areas to stop

Tiaro villagers from coming back or indeed others from claiming this land as their own. As a way of preventing this kind of

encroachment in the future sixty zinc plates were installed around the Rio Kemunyang village forest boundary to display

information about how the village forest is managed, including on the bans on burning and land clearing.

Livelihoods

The dependence of communities on one type of commodity often causes them to experience really serious economic crises due

to price fluctuations. The price of rubber is for example still low. These types of pressures combined with the need to pay for

schools, motorbikes, and other necessities are what motivate people to sell their land.

SDGs

This project contributes to SDG 1 (No Poverty) by providing local community members with additional income opportunities and

increased rights of use over customary forests, to SDG 13 (Climate Action) through reductions in deforestation and to SDG 15

(Life on Land) through protection of high conservation value habitats and wildlife in a biodiversity hotspot.

A3 Project developments

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT - DURIAN RAMBUN:

The livelihoods strategies facilitated by FFI are aimed at addressing the volatility of the local economy through diversification. One

of the activities that Durian Rambun villagers have been involved in to diversify their incomes is wild collection of Dragon’s blood

fruits, which are sold and subsequently processed into high-value dye. Others include jengkol, duku, jernang, and palm sugar.

Reducing dependence on one crop reduces overall land requirements of the communities, which means less pressure on

forested land. Increases in revenues through additional business development and livelihoods activities supports increasing

independence of forest management activities from grant support.

A4 Future Developments

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS – DURIAN RAMBUN:

The project intends to further strengthen sustainable livelihood and enterprise development support.

375.75 hectares of deforestation were detected in the

leakage zone4 via interpretation of remote sensing

imagery during the monitoring period.

Data on the openings have been cross-checked with

remote sensing data in the field and these are found

both within the HD area and outside the HD area

(within the village administration area). These values

spiked in 2017 both inside and outside the HD area,

could not be attributed to project activities and have

since decreased. The clearance was caused by conflict

with a neighbouring village.

4 As defined in the PDD; In HD Rio Kemunyang, the leakage zone is the land outside the project area (protection zone) but within the Durian Rambun village

administrative boundary

Yes Remote sensing interpretation analysed land use cover

change in the project area (Protection Zone). In total

126.95 hectares of deforestation was detected in the

HD protection zone between February 2015 –

September 20185 . This is mainly due to

encroachment from a neighbouring village and has

been mitigated through various actions as described in

Table 7.

E1.1 Ecosystem services carbon performance and credit issuance request

Ex-ante and ex-post crediting:

As is permitted by Plan Vivo, emissions reductions for this project will be verified in year 5 of the project crediting period, including accounting

for any deforestation above the ex-ante forecast of project scenario deforestation and deforestation resulting from leakage (see also section

E1). Annual PVCs requested for issuance for the monitoring period are therefore considered ex-ante until such time they are fully verified at

year 5, after which they will become ex-post. FFI has conducted an interim assessment of project performance during the monitoring period, to

ensure that the ex-ante estimates and credit issuance request remains accurate with anticipated ex-post credit issuance verification at year 5.

Table 7: Ecosystem services carbon performance and credit issuance request Target Performance (interpretation of interim

result)

Corrective actions Issuance request adjustments

(as applicable)

Deforestation 126.5 hectares of deforestation in the

HD protection zone equates to a rate

of 35.3 hectares of deforestation per

year, or approximately 1.4% of the

total forest area in the protection zone

a year (2,516 ha). This rate of

deforestation is a 30% reduction on

the baseline rate of deforestation, but

is above the projected project

Ongoing implementation of

project activities, including

forest patrols (as above).

Estimated emissions reductions

have been reduced by 60% to

reflect the trends on the

ground.

5 Note: while the crediting period is Jan 2015 - Dec 2017, the remote sensing imagery covers the time period February 2015 to September 2018.

This varies due to the availability of satellite imagery for monitoring.

(as applicable)

scenario emissions reductions

calculations (0.5%), which aimed for a

75% reduction. In other words, under

the baseline scenario, forest loss

would have been equal to 50.35 ha

per annum, under the projected

project scenario loss would have been

equal to or less than 12.59 ha per

annum, while the observed forest loss

was 35.3 ha per annum. Observed

emissions reductions were therefore

40% of projected emissions

reductions.

Leakage

375.75 hectares in the project

leakage zone equates to a

deforestation rate of approximately

4.15%. Most of this deforestation is

attributable to changes in local

commodity prices (increasing price of

coffee and decreasing price of

rubber).

Ongoing implementation of

project leakage mitigation

and monitoring activities

(see below).

Not applicable; deforestation in

the leakage area is primarily

the result of commodity price

fluctuations rather than directly

attributable to the project

activities.

intensification

Tree planting and agroforestry

Seedling nurseries have been constructed for timber tree species (see section

E3)

Other FFI has also facilitated the establishment of a ‘Village Land Bank’ in Durian

Rambun, whereby villages can mortgage any forested land they own at a low

rate of interest. This aims to reduce current pressure on villagers to sell their

land for short-term income needs.

Through frequent forest patrols the village

forest area has discouraged the influx of

hunters coming from outside the village, with

many protected species being encountered on

patrols and being recorded regularly on

camera traps. These species include the

Sumatran tiger (Critically Endangered), the

Malayan tapir (Endangered), the Asiatic

golden cat (Near threatened), the clouded

leopard (Vulnerable), the sun bear

(Vulnerable), the great argus pheasant (Near

Threatened), the banded palm civet

(Hemigalus derbyanus) Vulnerable.

The existence of the village forest

ensures water supply for the Micro

Hydro Plant in the village. The long

dry season does not result in the

Micro Hydro Plant stopping even

though the voltage is reduced. To

mitigate this, the village

administration has made

arrangements for all communities to

turn off electronics at night until the

rainy season comes. Throughout the

year the river continues to provide a

multitude of daily life supporting

Support

personnel

(~100,000

USD), Travel

and other

costs

(~15,000

USD)

It is very difficult to account for expenses incurred

during this reporting period, as these projects are

nested within broader programmes. Effectively the

continued existence of these projects relies on

keeping field staff in employment (which is very

expensive) even if they are not working on facilitating

these projects 100% of their time. A conservative

estimate of the staff time dedicated to supporting

these projects is 100,000 USD, though the real cost

for the reporting period is likely higher. Going

forward, once communities have attained a higher

level of independence implementing activities and

require less support for monitoring we are aiming for

a financial model that requires 53,000 USD in

personnel costs per year, of which about 28,000

USD would require ongoing fundraising and 25,000

would be covered through certificate sales

115,000 USD

None

115,000 USD (all

grant-based

finance)
