Closing Date: May 29,2013.
Since 2005, the UNESCO and Gunung
Leuser National Park (GLNP) have worked together to improve the conservation of
the National Park and to promote sustainable livelihoods in the villages
located in its surroundings. Among the array of activities that the UNESCO
Environmental Science Unit has carried out in GLNP, one of the most relevant is
the Ecosystem Restoration Program in Sei Serdang.
Started in 2008, the Ecosystem
Restoration Program aims to restore degraded areas inside the national park by
applying a scientifically sound accelerated natural forest succession process.
As such, the Ecological Restoration has several preliminary assessments and
studies in order to define the best methodology to implement ecosystem
restoration. The ecological restoration will reach the targeted aims by
following the ecosystem approach through the replication of the natural forest
succession process.
Objectives:
The main objectives are:
a)
To improve the capacities of the GLNP in dealing
with the most common issues towards the conservation of the park, such as
illegal activities and lack of updated and accurate data on the field
conditions. This will be done following the Ministry of Forestry programme on
Resort Based Management (RMB), already implemented in other National Parks in
Indonesia.
b)
To restore critically degraded forest areas that
constitute main habitats for orangutans and other relevant wildlife
c)
To establish a system to record the restoration
activities progress and success that can be applied to all restoration
activities in GLNP.
Expected Outputs:
a)
Resort Based Management system established in at
least 4 resort offices in GLNP and lessons learnt.
b)
Maintain the ecosystem restoration in the 27 Ha
in Sei Serdang, in close coordination with GLNP and the appointed restoration
team.
c)
73 Ha of degraded forest in Sei Serdang restored
following an accelerated natural succession process, in close coordination with
GLNP and the appointed restoration team
d)
Comprehensive restoration database including
information about planting dates and location, conditions of the seedlings, and
the data collected during the monitoring, and data collected during the
monitoring activities, i.e. growth rate, survival rate, species specific
statistics, wildlife encounters, rainfall, temperature, etc.
e)
Comprehensive report on all of the project
activities
