6.6 Enhancement of the Role of Biodiversity
Conservation
Properly managed biodiversity promotes
increased forest carbon sequestration that is an
essential part of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030
Agenda. Therefore, 514 units of conservation areas
covering about 27.14 million ha will significantly
contribute to the measures of achieving carbon
neutrality and even more carbon positive by 2030.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry
embraces the people who live in and around
conservation areas to strengthen the conservation
efforts, including ecosystem restoration. Of the
200 thousand ha target for the 2020-2024 period,
ecosystem restoration had reached 50,251 ha by
2021.
In order to protect and enhance the wildlife
population, the government has taken various
efforts. One of these efforts is wildlife rescue
through rehabilitation and release of wildlife
illegally held in captivity. The releases of wildlife
during 2019-2021 were 106,304 individuals,
241,542 individuals, and 27,292 individuals
respectively.
Moreover, the births of wildlife continued to
increase. In 2021, the births of a number of wildlife
species were recorded at 2,790 individuals, from
Sumatran tigers to orangutans, rhinos, and the
Javanese eagle.
