Indonesia has made significant progress in conserving and managing its extensive peatlands, the largest tropical peatlands in the world, which store approximately 46 gigatons of carbon. Various strategies and regulations have been implemented for peat ecosystem protection, sustainable management, and restoration, including establishing monitoring and assessment frameworks. The ongoing initiatives also focus on community involvement and capacity building to enhance peatland restoration efforts across the nation.

3. • Indonesia has Peatlands 4th largest in the world after Canada, Rusia and the
United States, among 180 countries in the world with peatland ecosystem.
• The largest tropical peatland in the world.
• Indonesia storing carbon Peat reserves reach 46 gigatones, or about 8-14% of
the carbon contained in peat world.

4. • Forestry,
• Flood control and water supply,
• Fire risk control,
• Eco-tourism,
• The livelihoods of local communities
(fisheries, agriculture, plantation),
• Climate stability,
• Biodiversity,
• Education and research.
