15. INTEGRATING PEATLAND RESTORATION WITH RURAL DEVELOPMENT
More than 1000 villages are situated in degraded peatland ecosystem. Peatland restoration needs to
integrate peatland protection into village development program to ensure that ecological resilence is
in harmony with socio-economic development and its recovery. The formation and facilitation of 675
Desa Mandiri Peduli Gambut is a national strategy to be implemented during 2020-2024.
Community preparedness for
peatland restoration is conducted
by doing FPIC, educating and
disseminating information to
different target groups (women,
youth, farmers, religious and
community leaders)
Strengthening village institutions
to support peatland protection,
e.g. by facilitating the making of
Village Regulation on Peatland
Protection and Management
Integrating peatland protection
and livelihood programs into
Village Development Plan and
Annual Budget.
Developing rural economic
development zones (kawasan
perdesaan) based on peatland
landscape ecosystem, and
assisting district governments to
integrate peatland protection into
their rural development program.
