Closing Date: March 3,2013.
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.
The main objectives are:
A.
To undertake and ensure the continuity of
periodic monitoring and evaluation on the process of accelerated natural forest
succession in Sei Serdang and Sei Musam;
B.
To carry out a forest composition study in a
primary forest with similar environmental conditions to the one to be restored.
As the basis to develop a scientific-based ecological restoration methodology,
the study shall cover but not limited to:
a. Assessment
of the potential of accelerated natural succession in the area,
b. Overview
of the use of fast growing species, local species and attractive species for
wildlife;
C.
To provide accurate and scientific information
for the national park staff, including the park manager, on the ecosystem
restoration methodology that is being applied in Sei Serdang and will be
applied in Sei Musam;
D.
To develop the practical guidelines on a
scientific-based ecological restoration based on the experience of the
restoration activities in Sei Serdang. The development of guideliness requires
full participation from the numerous stakeholders whose experiences in applying
the accelerated natural succession in the area in the lowland forest, including
conservationists and scientists as well as Forest Protection and Nature
Conservation (PHKA) and Watershed Management Body (BPDAS) Ministry of Forestry;
and
E.
To disseminate the practical guidelines among
relevant stakeholders on ecosystem restoration through a national workshop, in
order to share lessons learnt and standardize the methodologies used in other
areas.
Expected Outputs:
A.
Comprehensive evaluation report on the
implementation, monitoring and results of the restoration activities carried
out in Sei Serdang, including recommendations/proposed planning for follow up
monitoring and evaluation activities to ensure the continuity of monitoring and
evaluation.
B.
Comprehensive report on forest composition study
in a primary forest with similar environmental conditions to the one to be
restored in Sei Musam, as such assessing the potential of the accelerated
natural succession in the area, including an overview of the use of fast
growing species, local species and attractive species for wildlife as the basis
to develop a scientific-based ecological restoration methodology
C.
Proposed a scientific-based ecological
restoration methodology to be adapted in the new restoration area, with special
intention on the measures that need to be revised in deviation from the
Restoration Design prepared for Sei Serdang area.
D.
Final draft on the practical guidelines on a
scientific-based ecological restoration on lowland forest applying the
accelerated natural succession process
E.
Minutes of meeting of national workshop on the
lesson learnt and best practices in a scientific-based ecological restoration
on the lowland forest applying the accelerated natural succession process
F.
Comprehensive report on all of the project
activities
