“[restoration] is restoring [peat] its functions, but,
accompanied by understanding in the level
of community support [who live] nearby.
When there are no supports from the
community, [restoration] is non-sense,
regardless of costs incurred, supports, [and]
policies, [if the community] nearby the
restoration area do not fully understand the
concept and goals, [then] the restoration
efforts will be meaningless…how the
[community] engage, the knowledge transfer,
[those are] all that matters on restoration.”
3. “The illegal logging still occur. They are not
only taking ramin [Gonystylus bancanus, valuable
hardwood species], but also not valuable species
as well. In April [2017], we found thousand logs
transported outside the area illegally.”

regional commitments and supports.
