This presentation by Dita Ramadhani from WWF Indonesia given during the Forests Asia Summit at the discussion forum "Governance: Moving certification to the landscape level with ecosystem services" introduces the different components of the ForCES project, why it matters, and shows different pilot sites.

Summary of the project
This project purpose is to improve and promote sustainable
forest management for a range of ecosystem services through
the medium of FSC certification
ForCES (Forest Certification for Ecosystem Services) project is
supported by GEF (Global Environment Facility) with facilitation
from UNEP, implemented by FSC and partners in Chile, Vietnam,
Nepal, and Indonesia. Started in 2011 will run to 2015.

Assumption that human consumption for natural forest is
reducing ecosystem services such as soil and water.
Thus, Sustainable Forest Management
providing higher ES values than non-sustainable
forest management.
ForCES as additional/ expansion
for FSC certification
Appreciation for biodiversity and
forest services are low.

CIFOR as partner for indicators development
Expectation:
Recommendation for FSC to have set of ES
certification system that is credible, verifiable,
applicable for even smallholders, replicable to
other area in the world.

Pilot sites
Presentation to Company Name
Actions to take: FSC national standard development lead by LEI,
conduct market analysis to see “willingness to pay” from potential
PES buyer/ user, define M & E methodology for long term,
participatory process and activities on the ground, create suitable
PES business model, to test FSC PES standard draft in pilot site by
Certification Body by end of project

Restoration activity which conducted in upstream should has clear parameters,
thus impacting positively on the quality and water debit/flow
13. 26 5 8 - 13
ACTIVITIES in PILOT SITE 1: Lombok
DONE
Science based analysis on
hydrology and watershed
planning
Create watershed monitoring
and evaluation planning with
community through PES
protocol
Review of FSC standard related
to water
Create action plan for FSC
certification
FSC pre-assessment Update spatial map each year
Socialization and pre-FPIC
process
Participatory mapping
development with community to
create spatial delineation
Film documentary on “Water
Service” in Lombok
Market analysis (water service)
14. 26 5 8 - 14
What we seek in water service:
In Lombok, mechanism of payment for ES is already running.
Science-based verification to prove the impact of reforestation activities
on the quality and flow of water (rivers and springs)
Improving monitoring & evaluation methodology through
PES protocol
To help expanding existing paid water services to wider area in
Lombok where ForCES hopefully can shorthened
up the process
Partnership with IMP (Multi Stakeholders Institution), PDAM
(State Owned Water Company), Forestry Service,
BPDAS (Watershed Management Office), local government
Prepare local community for FSC certification assessment

species), hydrology and tourism
Partnership with forestry service, national park authority office,
tour operator, local government

19. PILOT SITE 3: PT. Ratah Timber, East Kalimantan (95,000 Ha)
20. What we seek in biodiversity & carbon:
Help Ratah Timber maintain their FSC certificate and
implementation RIL (Reduced Impact Logging)
The assumption that Ratah has higher carbon sequestrian
and biodiversity value compared to the non-sustainable FMU
Working with Kyoto University to conduct biodiversity and
carbon assessment
