Optimizing Forest and Land Fire Prevention and Mitigation in High-Risk Burn Areas to Achieve Indonesia’s FOLU Net Sink 2030
Madani identified 67.9 thousand hectares of Potential Burn Areas (APT) between January and July 2022, with the highest APT recorded in July. The APT data shows a strong correlation (91%) with the SIPONGI dataset managed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK).
Around 38% or 25.6 thousand hectares of APT are located within Peat Ecosystem Functions, with half of these areas falling under Peat Ecosystem Protection Functions. APT was also identified in areas recommended for expanded peat restoration targets (5.5 thousand hectares), of which 90% are within Peat Ecosystem Protection Functions.
To achieve Indonesia’s FOLU Net Sink 2030 target, BRGM should expand priority peat restoration targets, particularly in Peat Ecosystem Protection Functions, PIPPIB (Indicative Map for the Suspension of New Permit Issuance) areas, and locations that experience recurring burn scars.
