Nursery establishment in South Sulawesi
Planting 25,000 mangroves as a disaster mitigation effort in the coastal area of the Saddang river basin
which has the potential for sea abrasion and river ablation
A key element to the success of efforts
to protect forests is to ensure there are co-
benefits to communities dependent upon
those forests and peatlands. KEMITRAAN
has long championed an approach that
combines efforts to enhance environmental
protection with providing support to
resident communities to increase their own
standards of living sustainably. We work
together with the Adaptation Fund, an
international agency that manages funds
to support developing countries deal with
climate change.
a. Saddang Project in South Sulawesi
A very good example of this process
in action can be found from the work
of KEMITRAAN with authorities and
communities in the Saddang River area
in northern South Sulawesi. Some of this
work recently has been in partnership
with the Adaptation Fund through the
Saddang Watershed Project. Among
the key economic development and
empowerment initiatives to emerge from
this program has been the development
and export of kemiri a form of hazelnut
native to the forests in this region. The
first export market to penetrate was
Hong Kong.
Over the years KEMITRAAN's work
has included support for social forestry
and recognition of Customary Land
Rights. More recently KEMITRAAN
also supports these communities to
reach international markets for produce
indigenous to their lands. KEMITRAAN
signed an MOU with the Governor of
South Sulawesi and the Consortium
Kapabel regarding Climate Change
Adaptation and Mitigation Support to
the province. The consortium is led by
the Yayasan Tim Layanan Kehutanan
"This program increases the internal capacity of
our institution. It helped our team members launch a
program in 2016 that focused on developing concepts
and strategies, implementing programs, and improving
communication and coordination with a variety of
stakeholders at the district and provincial levels."
"We also develop skills through exploring the notion
of climate change adaptation, which is rarely discussed.
Our program's Climate Change Adaptation Regional
Action Plan (RAD API) has recently been launched in
B. PINP
Salipolo
South Sulawesi, and it's the first time it's been executed. We hope that future
collaboration with KEMITRAAN will enable us to build programs in a short amount
of time, with limited resources, to achieve substantial goals."

b. Bulukumba Project in South Sulawesi
Another Adaptation Fund project, also
focused in South Sulawesi, works with
government and communities in the
Bulukumba Regency in protecting three
watersheds within the realm of the
Ammatoa-Kajang indigenous community
of that region. This project supports the
development of a Watershed Forum in
the region. This has included support
to the establishment of "urban farming"
approaches in some 14 villages focused
on production of fruit and vegetables.
