On behalf of the Board members, I am pleased toconvey this message in our Annual Report 2006-2007. We are very proud by our achievements in thepast and wish to achieve greater success inconservation in the coming years for sustainableconservation in Indonesia.

We are heartened by the significant growing supportand recognition from Indonesian public for theirawareness to the impact and current condition of ournatural environment and as well as the climate changeissue. Within one year, we got a great support frommore than 8,000 new supporters. Merchandising alsoplays an important role in promoting conservationand community empowerment. Now, all WWF-Indonesia field sites are engaging with communitiesto grow “Green & Fair products” as part of our initiativeto help develop products and build market linkagesfor communities in support of sustainable livelihoods.

We believe the challenges and success during thisyear can only be achieved by good partnership withWWF global network, community, partners, donorsand government. Throughout the development of theCoral Triangle and the Heart of Borneo initiatives,WWF-Indonesia has strengthened its relations withmany partners. Both initiatives were approved by theWWF Assembly as well to become WWF NetworkInitiatives at the 2007 Annual Conference in Beijing.

Executive Director’s Report

WWF-INDONESIA ANNUAL REPORT 2007 3

Dr. Mubariq AhmadExecutive Director, WWF-Indonesia

I wish to express my gratitude to all staff and boardmembers for their hard work and support, and for theresults that we have achieved so far. WWF-Indonesia’smanagement acknowledges that without these seriousefforts, we could not have realized so many resultswithin the last four years. As the final year of ourStrategic Plan 2004-08 soon comes to a close, wewill gather and develop a new strategic plan for thenext five years. Our new strategic planning processwill have to be linked with the finalization of the newGlobal Programme Framework at WWF International.In fact, the structural changes in the GlobalProgramme Framework and the WWF NetworkInitiatives that were established to deliver globalconservation targets have effectively influenced ourwork since 2007.

Starting 1 July 2007, WWF-Indonesia is hosting twomajor Network Initiatives, namely the Heart of Borneoand the Coral Triangle. The trust that we have gainedfrom the WWF Global Network to host the twoinitiatives is the result of our hard work, both in theSupport & Resource and the Programme divisions.Congratulations for this great achievement!

Around Indonesia, we have played a major part inseveral landmark conservation achievements. InFebruary 2007, the governments of BruneiDarussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia signed theHeart of Borneo Declaration to jointly protect thisarea of global significance from unsustainableeconomic interests. The declaration serves as afoundation for closer collaboration between the threecountries, and has also triggered many pledges ofsupport from foreign governments, the private sectorand the NGOs.

In October 2006, WWF-Indonesia facilitated thesigning of a regional agreement by the governmentsof Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the SolomonIslands for the protection of leatherback turtles.

Another milestone in turtle conservation was achievedin Derawan Marine Conservation Area, Kalimantan,when the local government issued a ban on turtleegg concessions in the area. Meanwhile, the newzonation in Wakatobi Marine National Park—jointlyfacilitated by WWF and The Nature Conservancy—will also generate benefits for improved coral reefprotection and sustainable fishery resources.

A new initiative called “Humanitarian Partnership”was also developed at the beginning of 2007. It is aWWF-Indonesia and the American Red Crosscollaboration to make sure that rehabilitation in Acehis carried out in an environmentally sound fashion,by combining humanitarian and conservationapproaches. Meanwhile, working with WetlandsInternational Indonesia Programme and local NGOsthrough the “Green Coast” programme, approximately638 ha of coastal areas have been reforested andthe first local regulation on sustainable managementof marine and fisheries resources in Aceh Provincewas drafted. Restoration of the coastal ecosystemwas made possible with the support of Panglima Lautassociation, Aceh’s indigenous system for governanceof fishery resources, and the participation of students.

WWF-Indonesia’s Supporter programme also madesubstantial gains. Starting in 2007, this programmenow has three member categories, namely JuniorConservationist, Nature Buddy and Nature Guardian.With the growing number of supporters, there is asimultaneous increase in demand for activities. Weheld the event “One Earth - One Step for Change”(Bumi-ku Satu: Satu Langkah untuk Perubahan) fromNovember 2006 to 22 April 2007 (Earth Day), involvinghundreds of supporters and the general public.

We would like to convey that we feel honoured tohave such warm public responses regarding our hardwork. Such responses keep strengthening ourcommitment to do more for our shared vision: a livingplanet.

The underlying drivers of increased human use of resources, causing biodiversity lossand environmental degradation, require conservation approaches that include issues suchas poverty, trade, investment and security. For this reason, WWF-Indonesia strives towork with key government institutions, legislative bodies, businesses, teachers and schools,indigenous people, local communities and the general public.

Through partnerships with all levels of government, WWF-Indonesia is determined todeliver the maximum in terms of policy impacts on sustainability and social equity.Recognizing the importance of spatial planning in harmonizing economic developmentand environmental protection, the internal Spatial Planning Working Group providestechnical assistance to the Regional Planning Agencies (Bappeda) and regional parliamentsin review of spatial plan policies. This assistance has been provided in some provincesand regencies in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua. To find solutions to stop forest fireissues, we jointly organized a workshop with the Centre for Strategic and InternationalStudies and the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, inviting politicians, governmentoff ic ia ls , NGOs, and c o r p o r a t i o n s f r o mIndonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

We aim to focus political a t t e n t i o n o n t h eenvironment and to help politicians prioritize findingsolutions to environmental problems. One example ist h e P a y m e n t f o r Environmental Servicespolicy in West Lombok, the result of more than twoyears of intense field testing with communities, the localwater utility company and the municipality.

In our collaboration with the private sector WWF-Indonesia has initiated several innovativecollaborations with businesses to bring about change with a net positive contribution tosociety and the environment. In the forestry sector, we have worked with Asia PacificResources International Holdings (APRIL), a developer of fibre plantations, to test ourHigh Conservation Value Forests assessment in several of the company’s forest managementunits. In Lampung, South Sumatra, we are engaging with Nestlé, Kraft, Lavazza, Olamand Noble and other leading brands to initiate a joint effort for optimizing the coffeebusiness without harming the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. In the palm oil sector,we are involved in the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil to help Indonesian corporationsadopt sustainable practices.

WWF-Indonesia provides learning materials to teachers and students in many of our fieldsites. We work with teachers to develop curricula on environmental topics and helpimplement the modules in schools.

Pehin Dr Awang Haji Ahmad bin Haji Jumat (Minister of BruneiDarussalam’s Industry and Primary Resources) MS Kaban(Indonesian Minister of Forestry) and Dato Seri Azmi bin Khalid(Malaysian Minister of Natural Resources and Environment)achieved a significant milestone for the conservation of the Heartof Borneo. A historic declaration to conserve the Heart of Borneowas officially signed between the three ministers on behalf ofthe three governments in Bali, Indonesia on 12 February 2007.Statements of support were sent from the representatives of theUS and UK governments, EU, as well as the United NationsEnvironmental Programme. This landmark agreementunderscored in clear terms the three countries’ commitment toconserve and sustainably manage the Heart of Borneo, withensuing support from the international community to prepareand implement the action plan.

WWF-Indonesia, which has been supporting the process toconserve the Heart of Borneo since the beginning, sees thesigning of the declaration as an important step for achievingsustainable development in Borneo. It is expected that the three-country action plan to protect the region will be agreed next year.

The Heart of Borneo is a

governmental commitment and the

Indonesian government, together with

Malaysia and Brunei, will ratify the

Heart of Borneo in the near future. As

was decided during the inter-

ministerial meeting, the Indonesian

government supports the Heart of

Borneo as this is a source of life for

Kalimantan. If the Heart of Borneo is

saved, the whole of Kalimantan will

be saved," he said.

Many exciting developments have occurred since thegovernments of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia andMalaysia announced their intention to develop a shareddeclaration on the Heart of Borneo during theConference of Parties of the Convention of BiologicalDiversity in Curitiba, Brazil in March 2006.

Multi-stakeholderMapping and

Planning for Papua

WWF-INDONESIA ANNUAL REPORT 2007 7

In Lorentz National Park, the results of communitymapping were integrated by the Provincial ForestryService in drafting the local regulation “SustainableForest Management based on Community Values” inAugust 2006. Moreover, in collaboration with the PapuaParticipatory Mapping Consortium, we held a ‘trainingof trainers’ event for WWF partners from 6 to 10November 2006 in the Jayawijaya region to improvelocal people’s mapping capacity. The community mapsare now available in printed and digital versions, asignificant contribution to spatial planning in Papua.The Lorentz National Park Agency, founded followingthe Rapid Assessment and Prioritisation of ProtectedAreas Management assessment (facilitated by WWF),also agreed to establish a joint task force to preparethe Management Plan for the park based on thesemaps.

Since the announcement of the social and biodiversityvision for the TransFly ecoregion last year, a blueprintfor sustainable natural resources management insouthern parts of Papua New Guinea and Papuaprovince, WWF has organized several communityworkshops in the Merauke district to develop accuratemaps that identify High Conservation Value Areas(HCVAs). In support of the vision for the TransFly thelocal community has endorsed the development oftheir customary forest as a biological corridor betweenBian-Kumbe and Wasur National Park

One example of the many activities of the partnership was the internationalconference “Linking Dutch Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Markets toBorneo's Sustainable Forests”, organized in collaboration with the FSC in theNetherlands and WWF-Netherlands in Jakarta on 26-29 March 2007. Theconference brought together the Dutch Housing Association, major timberretailers, representatives of Dutch municipalities and NGOs, Indonesian timberproducers and key stakeholders. As a result, more than 24 representativesof Dutch timber trading companies, municipalities and NGOs have pledgedto purchase FSC wood products to build 100,000 housing units in theNetherlands over the next five years. Besides, a number of timber buyersfrom the US, UK, and the Netherlands visited Indonesia to locate reliablewood sources with the help of Nusa Hijau.

Nusa Hijau is engaging with an increasing number of companies and otherstakeholders in order to promote credible forest certification through a stepwiseapproach and by linking to responsible forest products trade. This year, NusaHijau’s members achieved some significant success; nine of the 18 membermanufacturers achieved Chain of Custody certification, covering a total of269,000 ha of forest. By the end of June 2007, 18 trade companies and eight

forest producers had become Nusa Hijau members.

Nusa Hijau also supported the production of a BBC documentary forthe Earth Report series called “Timber Futures”, which was filmed

on location in Indonesia and the UK and included several NusaHijau members. Examining how market forces in Europe and

North America can be involved to help conserve the world'sforests, the programme highlighted the approach of the

WWF Global Forest and Trade Network for responsiblewood sourcing. The documentary was aired globally

in December 2006 and reached over 150million viewers in more than 140 countries

and territories.

WWF-Indonesia has developed an integrated approach towardsgood forest governance in Kalimantan through the KalimantanForest Partnership (implemented with Tropenbos Internationaland the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)).We particularly focused on strengthening market incentives forresponsible forestry and building the capacity of forest managersin Indonesia and Malaysia to respond to those incentives. Thepartnership works closely with other WWF-Indonesia activities,including the Indonesia Forest and Trade Network (Nusa Hijau)and the Forest Conversion Initiative.

Until June 2007, RSPO had 244 members, consisting of 176 ordinarymembers and 68 affiliate members. Of these, 25 ordinary membersand four affiliate members are from Indonesia. Moreover, WWF-Indonesia and the RSPO Indonesia Liaison Office have been workingclosely to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the RSPOPrinciples and Criteria (P&C). WWF, as a member of the IndonesiaNational Interpretation Working Group, aims to adapt the RSPOP&C in the Indonesian context. Formal Memoranda of Understandingbetween WWF-Indonesia and three important oil palm companieshave been signed to assess High Conservation Value Forests (HCVF)in the companies’ concession areas, and for testing the P&C of theRSPO.

One important principle in sustainable oil palm is applying zero-burning practices for land clearing. WWF-Indonesia has beenadvocating for the ratification of the ASEAN Transboundary HazeAgreement by the Government of Indonesia. So far, the governmenthas been revising the Indonesian Law on Environment (UU 23/1997)by incorporating the substance of the ASEAN Haze agreement. Atthe local level, WWF-Indonesia has provided input to the PalangkarayaDeclaration on Forest and Land Fires Fighting by the provincialgovernment of Central Kalimantan

WWF-INDONESIA ANNUAL REPORT 2007 9

WWF-Indonesia has been an active member of theRoundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) since itsestablishment in 2003 and currently is one of the RSPOInternational Board members. Through the RoundtableWWF encourages districts and companies to adoptpolicies and land use plans that exclude the conversionof High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs) intoplantations, and apply sound environmental practices forthe operation of their oil palm plantations.

With a population of around 50 individuals in UjungKulon National Park, West Java, and no more thanten in Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam, the Javanrhino is one of the most endangered species in theworld. Protecting this magnificent species fromextinction requires a tremendous amount of commitmentand dedication.

In 2006, WWF-Indonesia started the RhinoCare programmewith the aim to raise public funds to ramp up ongoing rhino conservationwork. The programme aims to sensitize, encourage and facilitate publicand corporate involvement for the conservation of the rhino. Throughthe symbolical adoption of a Javan rhino, our programme offersindividuals, families, groups, businesses and other organizations inIndonesia an opportunity to become rhino conservationists.

Through extensive research, patrols and rhino monitoring using cameratraps, WWF has documented 35 individual Javan rhinos in the park. Ofthese, seven rhinos were selected for symbolic adoption: Dablo, anadult male rhino; a mother and calf named Lulu and Rara; 2 juvenilefemale rhinos named Euis and Menul; and 2 bulls, Macho and Jampang.From February until March 2007, the RhinoCare programme carriedout a market analysis to design the fundraising mechanism, which nowincludes six packages ranging from IDR 250,000 to IDR 100 million.The adopter receives many benefits including adoption certificates,merchandise and exclusive visits to Ujung Kulon National park.

Encouraging the Public toHelp Protect the EndangeredJavan Rhino

WWF-Indonesia’s work in Sebangau National Park, Kalimantan, focuseson assisting the new national park authority to protect orangutan habitatby facilitating anti-illegal logging operations, park patrols, habitatrestoration (by canal blocking and forest rehabilitation), promotingcollaborative management between the park authority and thecommunities, and promoting sustainable livelihood of the localcommunities through alternative income activities.

For the first time, WWF attached a satellite-tracking collar to anendangered Sumatran elephant in Indonesia this year. On 23 November2006, WWF-Indonesia’s Bukit Barisan Selatan project, in collaborationwith its partner in the national park (Lampung Forestry and NatureConservation Office, or KSDA), tracked a herd of six elephants nearthe park and placed a tracking collar on the herd’s matriarch. We cannow trace the location of the herd as part of a study of the elephants’home range. By daily monitoring of the herd’s location, WWF-Indonesiaand partners can also warn local villagers when elephants are nearby.Following the satellite tracking study in Bukit Barisan Selatan NationalPark, on 17 January 2007 WWF-Indonesia and partners installed anothercollar, this time on a wild elephant in Tesso Nilo National Park in RiauProvince.

To help curtail forest fires, WWF-Indonesia has helped communities toconstruct eight more dams. By blocking canals, communities can preventthe ravages of forest fires and also maintain access to non timber forestproducts, such as gum. The effectiveness of blocking canals to preventforest fires was proven during the 2006 dry season. When forest firesbroke out in the area, the land surrounding the blocked canals wasnot damaged by fires due to increased water levels. By June 2007,WWF has constructed 37 such dams.

To determine the most suitable species and locations for forestrehabilitation, WWF-Indonesia supported a study whichidentified species such as belangeran (Shorea sp), jelutong(Dyera lowii), pasir-pasir (Litsea sp.) and tutup kabali(Diospyros sp). The latter two are well-known as foodsources for orangutans. Furthermore, as part ofrehabilitation activities, at least 60 nursery beds forapproximately 80,000 seedlings have been set upat WWF’s field station. Another 70,000 seedlingswere planted on the banks of the SSI channel,the largest channel used to transport timber outof the Sebangau hinterland area. This effort wassupported by the Central Kalimantan Peat landProject and developed with the participationof the Sebangau Community Forum. Othervegetation work included a collaborationwith the Indonesian Institute of Sciences(LIPI) to develop a floral inventory ofSebangau National Park.

To strengthen law enforcement, we ran a workshop in January 2007that focused on money laundering, illegal logging and the orangutantrade. This workshop, held in coordination with TRAFFIC (a wildlifetrade monitoring network), the Center for International Forestry Research(CIFOR), and the local government in Sebangau, aimed to engage thegovernments and police to develop strategies in combating illegal loggingand illegal wildlife trade.

Cracking downon illegal logging

WWF-INDONESIA ANNUAL REPORT 2007 11

WWF-Indonesia has facilitated anti illegal logging activities inSebangau National Park and we have been instrumental infacilitating the operations of the Forest Ranger Quick ResponseTeam (SPORC). Indeed, the confiscation of 578,360 illegal logsin June 2006 showed a rare but positive sign of law enforcement.From more than 100 illegal sawmills that once operated on thebanks of the Katingan River, less than 10 are active at the endof 2006 and we expect that the operations of the remainingsawmills will cease soon due to timber shortages. Large illegallog rafts no longer exist in the park. The SPORC organizesregular patrols with a team that consists of staff of the NatureConservation Office (BKSDA) and the Central Kalimantan PoliceDepartment. From July 2006 to June 2007, WWF-Indonesiafacilitated at least 16 SPORC teams to conduct patrols threetimes a month.

Approximately 17%, or 60,000 ha, of Bukit Barisan Selatan NationalPark has been converted into farmland, most of which is used forcoffee plantations. This situation threatens the function of the parkas a habitat for endangered rhinos, tigers, and Sumatran elephants.

In response to this situation, a study was initiated on the trade incoffee produced from this area and the results were outlined inthe report " Gone in an Instant: How the Trade in Illegally GrownCoffee is Driving the Destruction of Rhino, Tiger and ElephantHabitat in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park". The report revealedthat coffee produced illegally in the national park ended up beingmixed with legally produced coffee before being distributed to theinternational market.

Following the release of the report, a workshop was facilitated onCoffee and Conservation in Bandar Lampung on 12-13 March2007 in coordination with the Forestry Service of LampungProvince, which was attended by both central and local governmentofficials, coffee companies and communities. The workshopconcluded with the signing of a “Declaration on Coffee andConservation” highlighting the participants’ commitment towardshalting illegal forest conversion in the park and supportingsustainable coffee production outside the national park. WWF-Indonesia, in cooperation with coffee companies and trading firms,is currently designing a scheme to improve coffee production andquality from the buffer zone of the park by adopting sustainablecoffee farming.

More than 18 months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Aceh andon Nias Island, there is still no comprehensive solution on the issue of timbersupply for the reconstruction and rehabilitation process. However, despite thepressure to build houses for the tsunami victims as fast as possible, there isstrong commitment from the government and many other parties to use timberfrom sustainably-managed forests, in order to reduce the high levels ofdeforestation in Indonesia.

In response to the need for sustainably-sourced timber, WWF-Indonesia, theRehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency for Aceh and Nias (BRR), and theInternational Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)—with the support of the government of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province—brought companies and agencies from the whole timber supply chain togetherin a one-day event, “Timber Marketplace”, in June 2006. The aim of the eventwas to bring together all relevant parties to network, share lessons and set uptimber supply lines.

The “Timber Marketplace” was attended by over 50 people representing policymakers (local government and BRR), donor agencies, NGOs, and internationalagencies with housing projects, technical experts, banking service providers, aswell as legally and sustainably-sourced timber suppliers from Indonesia, NewZealand, Australia, Canada, and US. Fifteen housing building agencies participated.

In addition to the donation of 480 m3 of timber initiated byWWF, more than 48,000 m3 of timber was donated by foreigncountries and imported to Aceh through the collaborativeefforts of various organizations. Several humanitarianorganizations that had already demonstrated their commitmentto redevelop Aceh were responsible for successfully usingtimber sourced from sustainable forests. These organizationsinclude the International Federation of Red Cross and RedCrescent Societies, OXFAM, Première Urgence, Save theChildren and the British Red Cross.

Through extensive andpersistent efforts in the marine

sector, and strong partnerships withboth government and local communities, we

have achieved some major programmatic successesthis year. These range from community support for more

effective enforcement against illegal fishing practices inCenderawasih Bay National Park, Papua, to increased funding

commitment from the government to build infrastructure for marineprotected areas in Berau, East Kalimantan, and Jamursba

Medi–Warmon, Papua.

A key strategy of our fisheries programme has been to engage withthe private sector. Biodiversity remains WWF’s ultimate goal, and reducing

threats to marine resources from fisheries is vital. Our partners in thefishing industry are headed in the same direction, as they are well aware

of the decline of fish stocks and the increasing global demand forsustainable fish products. WWF-Indonesia and the private sector have

engaged in a productive partnership, beginning with reductions inbycatch of turtles in tuna longline fisheries.

The Coral Triangle Network Initiative was approved at theWWF Annual Conference in Beijing and will begin receiving

support from the WWF Global Network starting this year.Indonesia covers the largest part of the Coral Triangle,

an area which plays a very significant role in sustainingthe lives of millions of people and the substantial fishing

businesses of the world. WWF-Indonesia has a major role toplay in this initiative, along with the government of Indonesia

through the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and the Ministryof Forestry.

• providing a packaging and labelling machine for fish chipsproduction in Teluk Semanting• constructing fish aggregating devices in Giring-Giringand Balikukup, and• beginning the development of a microcredit system fora cooperative in Biduk-biduk.

In Cenderawasih Bay National Park, Papua, two formalagreements for no-take zones were secured between WWF-Indonesia and the Park Authority. Monitoring of resourceuse in the area by both parties fed into the revision of thepark’s zonation system to enhance managementeffectiveness in the national park.

The triennial meeting of the Bunaken National ParkManagement Advisory Board produced the Strategic Planfor 2007-2010, revised Standard Operating Procedures andrevised Basic Rules for the organization. This sets a strongerframework for collaborative management.

WWF-Indonesia created a working group for a new marineprotected area in the Savu Sea, around the Solor-Lembata-Alor area. The working group was supported by legislationfrom the governor following a series of consultations withthe provincial government. Overall, progress is satisfactoryand the provincial government is keen to develop apartnership with us to share programme objectives andbudgets in supporting the marine protected area andcommunity development locally. Key stakeholders in theSolor Lembata Alor have signed an agreement accordingto which they commit to collaborate on the establishmentof marine protected areas in their area for conservationand sustainable fisheries purposes. This was celebratedwith the launch of an environmental education vessel thatwill also be used for monitoring.

In the traditional whale hunting village of Lamalera, ourPhoto Voices project was initiated in partnership with PhotoVoices International and the project was launched by themayor of Lembata. Fifty men and women will be documentingtheir lives and what matters to them by taking photos. Overtime, this will provide a valuable tool for conservationplanning and for the design of marine protected areas, aswell as for improved understanding of whale hunting issuesand traditions.

The Wakatobi Community Forum has met regularly andone of their recommendations was to establish an umbrellaorganization at the district level that represents the forumin coordination with the district government, national parkauthority on fisheries policies and Wakatobi National Parkmanagement. As a result, the Wakatobi Fishers Network(Jaringan Nelayan Wakatobi) was established.

In parallel with these institutional developments, WWFcontinues to help locally with the implementation ofmonitoring protocols for fish spawning aggregation, resourceutilization, reef health, cetaceans and coral bleaching. Thedata that was collected through these efforts contributedto the identification of areas for the zoning revision.Meanwhile, authorities such as the police, prosecutors andattorneys have shown their full commitment with the recentprosecution (December 2006) of 12 fish bombers who wereapprehended by a Wakatobi Joint Patrol in May 2006. Theregular surveillance programme, which operates since early2005, has significantly reduced blast fishing practices.However, cyanide fishing still occasionally happens.

In Berau, East Kalimantan, the mayor signed a decree onthe outline of the management plan of Berau MarineConservation Area following five months of consultationswith the fisheries agency and the Law Division of the Beraugovernment. With the Berau Marine Conservation AreaSteering team, this allows WWF-Indonesia to establish themanagement plan and zonation plan for the area in aprocess that is led by the Dean of Fisheries and MarineSchool of Mulawarman University. Following the declarationof the Berau Marine Conservation Area and the ban onturtle egg collection, the Ministry of Forestry has provideda new vessel for patrols in the area, which has resulted inarrests and legal charges against poachers.

The WWF/The Nature Conservancy joint project in Derawanis also supporting alternative livelihood programmes forlocal communities. These alternatives include productionand promotion of virgin coconut oil, seaweed farming andturtle handicraft, and are being developed in collaborationwith the District Agency for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives.We have also helped by:• donating 2 glass bottom boats to community groups inDerawan and Tanjung Batu

The final draft of the Wakatobi Zoning Plan hasbeen completed. It was agreed by all stakeholdersthat the plan will include a Core Zone, Marine WildernessZone, Tourism Zone, and three utilization zones: TraditionalUse Zone, Public Use Zone and Special Zone, whichbrings the area under no-take status to 36% of the totalprotected area. The formal signing of the Zoning Planis scheduled for July 2007, while the final draft of theLong-term Management Plan will be formalized inSeptember 2007. The Wakatobi National Park outerboundary is now synchronized with the outer boundaryrecognized by the Wakatobi District, which will allow for the zonationand management to be incorporated into the Wakatobi District Spatial Plan.

We are supporting the government tomonitor and control fishing practicesin Indonesia through the onboardobserver programme. Four observersand ten volunteers from the SorongFisheries Academy were on board 14trawl vessels of four large shrimpfishing companies in Sorong, Papua.The objectives of this programme areto collect bycatch data on non-targetspecies, to observe the effectiveness of Turtle ExcluderDevices on shrimp trawl fishery and to educate boat captainsand crews on handling turtles that are unintentionally caughtto increase their survival. A first look at the data suggeststhat the Turtle Excluder Devices are very effective in reducingbycatch of turtles, with less turtles caught today comparedto some years ago.

Initial data from a trial run in tuna long line fisheries indicatesthat marine turtles are less likely to be caught by circlehooks compared to traditional hooks, and this withoutreducing catches of target fish species. Demand for circlehooks has grown, which has led WWF-Indonesia to engagewith local hook manufacturers to increase circle hookproduction in Indonesia. By sharing the results of our workat the South East Asian Fisheries Development Center –Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), we have setIndonesia as an example for similar approaches in SoutheastAsian countries and this has helped WWF-Philippines toinitiate an observer programme and circle hook trials.

Management of tune fisheries remains a serious concernfor WWF-Indonesia. To improve our understanding of this

fisheries sector, we visited 38 sitesin 19 provinces representing thenine major fishing areas inIndonesia. Our aim was to collectinformation and to carry outinterviews with stakeholders ontuna fisheries and options forecosystem based management oftuna fisheries. These interviewsincluded representatives fromlarge to medium-scale tuna fleetsand companies supporting thetuna processing industry inIndonesia (e.g. tuna canningcompanies, loin processors,smoked tuna processor and

baitfish suppliers). With the results of this comprehensiveupdate on tuna fisheries in Indonesia, we are developinga communications strategy with the Research Centre forCapture Fisheries of the Ministry of Marine Affairs andFisheries. We expect that our report will become the mainreference for policy and advocacy work to promote bestpractices with the industry and to generate internationalsupport to help Indonesia manage its tuna stocks. Already,the Indonesian government has shown its commitment tocomply with responsible practices in tuna fisheries bysigning up as a full member to the Indian Ocean TunaCommittee, and is progressing towards signing up to theWestern Central Pacific Fisheries Committee.

WWF-Indonesia also carried out village planning activitiesfor sustainable shrimp aquaculture, involving all farmersand proprietors in Mesjid Utue village, Aceh. As part of thiseffort, we offered training in shrimp pond management toincrease the technical capacity of farmers. WWF alsoproduced a “Policy Analysis on Marine and FisheriesManagement, Aceh and Nias” that will significantly contributeto sustainable marine and fisheries management for policymakers.

address traditional hunting of leatherback turtles, and todevelop appropriate conservation approaches that takeinto account local socio-cultural dynamics. WWF-Indonesiaalso established a network of turtle enforcement agenciesfor Bali, and West and East Nusa Tenggara, to combatillegal turtle trade in the region. The network has beenextended to include Selayar, South Sulawesi, as a majorturtle foraging ground.

To gain a better understanding of marine turtle migrationand connectivity between critical turtle habitats, we havecarried out cutting-edge research through tagging, telemetryand genetic analysis. Initial results of green turtles taggedin Papua show they travel as far as Australia, SouthKalimantan and Malaysia. Green turtles tagged in EastKalimantan have confirmed that they navigate all the wayto Malaysia and the Philippines, while leatherback turtlestagged in Papua are found equally well in eastern Indonesiaand across the Pacific. Based on our research, we producedseveral scientific publications with our partners in journalssuch as the Indian Ocean Turtle Newsletter and the journalChelonia.

Species of Special Concerns

SustainableFisheries

In August 2006, the governments of Indonesia, Papua NewGuinea and the Solomon Islands signed a landmarkMemorandum of Understanding to protect and manage theWestern Pacific leatherback turtle populations and thespecies’ critical habitats. The main objective of thisagreement is a network of marine protected areas coveringcritical habitats for leatherback turtles, including theirmigration routes. Following this milestone, the head ofSorong District has developed a multi-stakeholder planningteam to prepare a management plan that includes zoningand rules, and to establish a management body for theleatherback nesting areas in Sorong.

At the community level, agreements have been madebetween WWF and the local community of Jamursba Medito minimize destructive activities that may affect the survivalof the leatherback turtles. Moreover, this year local teamshave patrolled daily on the nesting beaches of the Bird’sHead Peninsula and have recorded a total of 5,000 nests.The number shows the importance of this area for thesurvival of the rarest marine turtle species of the world. Apartnership with a local, community-based NGO (YayasanSIRaN) in the Kei islands, eastern Indonesia, aims to

After working for six years in West Bali, WWF-Indonesia is phasing outfrom the national park. During that time, we have helped to establish asource of sustainable alternative livelihoods through seaweed farming.Post harvest production plays an important role ingenerating income for coastal communities in order tominimize exploitation of coastal resources. WWF helpedto set up a small business enterprise to maintain quality,quantity and continuity of seaweed and its production.As a result, destructive fishing decreased significantly inthe area (based on surveillance and patrolling reports byFKMPP) and live coral coverage in West Bali increased from24% to 36% during a 3-year monitoring period.

As part of our engagement in improving management of West Bali NationalPark, we participated in the celebration of Environmental Day by removingthe parasitic crown-of-thorn starfish from the reefs. The idea came fromthe traditional village leaders who are members of the collaborativemanagement forum and funding for this activity and the event came fromthe collaborative management forum and some private sector partners ofthe forum. More than 100 people including villagers, dive operators, fishers,and other private sector players participated in the starfish clean up andthe event gained plenty of media attention.

For WWF-Indonesia, the involvement in the West Bali was relatively shortcompared to our work in other marine protected areas. Over the courseof six years, we have notched some successes:

• Self funded joint patrols are still running to protect marine resourcesfrom destructive and illegal fishing activities. The seaweed programmeshowed positive developments. In one week, FKMPP sold 7 tons of dryseaweed for a fair price (IDR 4600/kg, part of the one-year contract withan export company), generating more than IDR 33 million.

• Profiling of FKMPP through outreach and communication led to a widerunderstanding that this forum is the best positioned strategic partner forcommunity based coastal projects that the local or central governmentmight want to carry out.

• During this reporting period the forum held a big meeting attended by13 organizations from fishermen groups, traditional village groups andprivate sector. As a result of this meeting, more villages have joined theforum (Sumberkima village and Gawana Novus Resort). The meetingresulted in the establishment of an implementation body with a two-yearwork plan of activities for 2007-2009. A private sector member contributedmore than USD 1,000 for joint patrols in the national park.

• An early warning mechanism for reporting coral bleaching was initiatedby the forum, resort owners, dive operators, local guides, and the NationalPark Authorities, with an agreement to develop good networking for thecoral bleaching database.

Following an evaluation using theIUCN guidelines for marine protectedareas effectiveness, we conclude thatwe delivered well on three importantobjectives in West Bali National Park:

1. Biophysical:Live coral coverage increased from

10% in 1999 to 37% in 2006

2. Socioeconomic:The seaweed programme increasedcommunity income with IDR 600,000per family/month on average, with a

positive effect on social conflicts

3. Governance:Local community participation and

their understanding about rules andregulation in marine protected areasincreased significantly according to

evaluations.

A legal document developed last year helped to improve lawenforcement against destructive illegal fishing in West Bali NationalPark. In August 2006, three offenders were sentenced to jail for fourmonths by the court. Three months later, one offender was caughtusing cyanide fishing and was charged. The Forum for CommunityCoastal Care (FKMPP) has been one of the key “drivers” forcollaborative management and community empowerment in WestBali and this entity is now formally acknowledged at high levels,resulting in some awards and financial support from provincial andnational authorities.

Data collected by the Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (TCEC) in Balihas shown that more or less 400 turtles were traded from July 2006 to June2007, much less than total turtles traded during 2000 (our baseline: 3,000 turtles).The centre is equipped with basic amenities including a mini theatre, turtle ponds,a handicraft shop, food stalls, and a camping ground. These structures areintended for educational purposes and to generate income through donationsand the entrance fee. The centre has also been able to provide 93 turtles forritual religious needs, as mandated by the Hindu Faith Council of Bali. Effortshave been made to persuade people to release the turtles after using them inthese ceremonies. All turtles originate from turtle nests found on the beachesof Bali (often a few kilometres from the location of the TCEC) and have beentranslocated to the centre. This year, after completing the incubation time, 70%of the hatchlings were released and the rest were kept in special ponds until theyreached 40 cm in length. Records from the TCEC show that 51 out of 93 turtles(55%) have been released. The rest of the turtles, unfortunately, still have to beslaughtered. Through this system, some IDR 17,600,000 have been raised tosupport rearing turtles.

Climate and Energy ProgrammeInternational Negotiations - UNFCCC Implementation

As a result of our active participation, we have collaboratedwith the government of Indonesia on a REDD schemeunder the banner of the Indonesia Forest Climate Alliance,with the local government on climate change adaptationmeasures in the Citarum watershed, West Java, and onmainstreaming climate change issues into small islanddevelopment in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

In addition, WWF-Indonesia began several initiatives withother organizations, such as Yayasan Tanggap BencanaIndonesia, the community-based Disaster RiskManagement programme of Nahdlatul Ulama, IndonesianRed Cross, and the Tropical Forest and Climate ChangeAdaptation project of the Urban and Regional DevelopmentInstitute to mainstream climate adaptation into the nationaldevelopment agenda. To ensure that climate change issues

feature prominently in the public media, we also beganworking with the Society of Indonesian EnvironmentalJournalists.

WWF-Indonesia assisted the Indonesian Ministry ofEnvironment to establish six climate working groups toprepare Indonesia’s national position for the UNFCCC 12th

Conference of Parties in December 2006 and the 26th

meeting of the Subsidiary Bodies in May 2007. Theseworking groups consist of government agencies andrepresentatives from civil society stakeholders such asWWF-Indonesia, Pelangi, and the Working Group on PowerSector Restructuring, focusing on issues such as adaptation,mitigation, energy, forest, technology transfer and post-2012 issues.

WWF-Indonesia made a major contribution to mainstreaming climate change into Indonesia’snational development policy. A clear example is the finalization and publication of the “NationalAction Plan on Mitigation and Adaptation for Climate Change” (Rencana Aksi Nasional Mitigasi danAdaptasi Perubahan Iklim), to which we provided substantial policy recommendations. We alsoadvised on Indonesia’s official position in the lead up to the United Nations Framework Conventionon Climate Change (UNFCCC) 13th Conference of Parties, by providing input on adaptation,Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), energy and the Bali Road Map.

This year WWF-Indonesia facilitated a new NGO

coalition of consumer organizations, policy analysts,

and environmental organizations, to participate in

energy and electricity law reform in Indonesia. This

coalition works closely with some members of

Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of

Representatives, as well as Indonesia's parliament

members and the Directorate General for Electricity

and Energy Utilization. The NGO Coalition released

a white paper entitled “Energy Reform Policy Paper

on the Draft New Energy Law” before the Parliament

Assembly in March, responding to the government’s

Blueprint for National Energy Util ization.

The government of Indonesia is reviewing the Energy

Act with plans to update it, possibly with targets of 5%

renewable energy by 2025. Whereas the current

proportion of renewable energy in Indonesia’s energy

mix is 1.8% (excluding large hydropower), we believe

that a revised act with updated targets for renewable

energy could be passed by the Indonesian parliament

as early as December 2007.

Policy Reform

With the PowerSwitch! public campaign, WWF-Indonesiahas targeted the media and urban communities throughregular briefings with journalists and other media groups.Overall, more than 20 print and electronic media outletsbecame our partners in delivering information on climatechange as a result of this effort.

Last year WWF-Indonesia established an independentcommunity that disseminates climate change and energymessages to the wider public. This community,Energy_Troops, consists of 3 sub-groups: students, youngprofessionals, and housewives. Each sub-group, whichproduces and disseminates campaign materials and holdsmeetings and public events, has tailored the messageabout electricity efficiency to their target audience. Thereare currently 5,000 people on the Energy_Troops database,of which 420 supporters are actively involved in strategydevelopment of the PowerSwitch! campaign. Currently, thecommunity is preparing action plans that will involve NGOsthat have shown interest in public campaigns on energyissues in Indonesia.

Besides Energy_Troops, two other independentcommunities were initiated and supported by WWF-Indonesia: The Green Design Community and Young MindsCommunity.

The Green Design Community consists of architects, interiordesigners, and landscapers. Its aim is to carry out acampaign targeted at fellow designers, with a focus onenergy-efficient tropical homes that have less impact onglobal warming. Their next target is to mainstream theconcept to construction companies that build homes andcommercial buildings. At the moment, this community plansto arrange a series of workshops which will attract moredesigners throughout Indonesia to implement the concept.

In March 2007, the adviser on Climate Change andDevelopment to the UK Government, Sir Nicholas Stern,visited Indonesia and presented his economic impact reviewon climate change to the government of Indonesia. Inbetween meetings with ministers and parliament members,Sir Nicholas Stern attended the Young Minds Workshop,WWF-Indonesia’s public forum and youth workshoporganized in Atmajaya University, Jakarta, with the BritishEmbassy. Stern commented on how fast the studentsunderstood his review, and soon after the participantsformed the Young Minds Community, a strong communityconsisting of future leaders in Indonesia.

This year, the “Green & Fair” products initiative has added twonew products to its range: coffee from the buffer zone of the BukitBarisan Selatan National Park, South Sumatra, and wild honeyfrom the Gunung Mutis area in East Nusa Tenggara. So far the“Green & Fair” products initiative includes wild honey, essentialoil, organic rice, handicrafts, organic coffee, and aloe veraproducts. The seaweed snacks from Bali Barat National Park,promoted through “Green & Fair” before WWF phased out of thearea, have already secured a share of the market locally andcontinue to be a source of alternative income for the women andfamilies of fishermen in Bali Barat.

“Green & Fair” products offer more than just meets the eye.Establishing a system of quality control and maintaining thespecific characteristics of the products are important ways toensure that “Green & Fair” products are recognized by the marketat the local and national level. For this reason, WWF-Indonesiaand the Community Empowerment Working Group have providedtraining in Internal Control System (ICS) for WWF field staff andcommunity partners from producers groups. The training, facilitatedby BioCert and the Organic Association of Indonesia, focusedon how communities can apply standards and principles of qualitycontrol (organic, hygienic, “green & fair”) to the production,processing and handling of their output.

ICS is a way to build internal and community-based certificationof products among small groups of producers and to improveaccountability towards consumers by making sure that the productsmarketed as “green” and “fair” actually meet those criteria. Atour conservation sites, producer groups are developing standardsto preserve the original quality of the product, guarantee that the

product is organic, and conserve the ecosystem where the productoriginates from. In the case of wild honey in Mutis, a combinationof better marketing, improved quality control system and bettermanagement has succeeded in raising the market value of thehoney. It is now sold at a higher (and fairer) price for the localfarmers. Communities are also committed to protecting the habitatwhere honey trees grow.

Working with the WWF-Indonesia Merchandise unit, ourCommunity Empowerment Working Group continues to developflyers, new packaging, and labels (including the WWF logo insupport of “Green & Fair” products) in order to boost the imageand value of the products. The “Green & Fair” products wereagain promoted and sold at the Environmental Week Fair inJakarta (31 May-3 June 2007). This is the third consecutive yearthat “Green & Fair” products are promoted at the event. Witheach passing year, the initiative has seen growing success withcustomers, as evidenced by both the interest and curiosity andthe volume of sales that is generated.

The “Green & Fair” products initiative has also caught the attentionof the Rural Livelihoods Learning Group of the Ford Foundation.We were invited to share our lessons on developing and promotinggreen and fair products, and building more effective linkagesbetween rural and urban market actors.

Community-scale enterprises based on natural resources offerimportant livelihood opportunities for rural families andcommunities. But challenges and barriers undoubtedly still exist.The “Green & Fair” products initiative is an attempt to addressthese challenges and capture the conservation and market valuesof products that emphasize market, equity and the environment.

Communications and Outreach

The environmental education programme has received favourable responses fromstudents and school institutions, with students seen promoting environmental issues

on their school billboards. A formal curriculum is being drafted and will soon be trialledwith junior and senior high schools students in Southeast Sulawesi. The North SulawesiGreen Community, a youth organization which is actively involved in raising environmental

awareness, has now been formalized.

Environmental EducationIn a bid to raise the environmental awareness ofIndonesian society, our Environmental Educationunit has been in charge of publishing children bookson endangered species. Earlier in 2005, books onthe Sumatran tiger, orangutan, Sumatran elephantand Sumatran rhino were published and this year,the fifth book of the series, “Tuto the adventurerturtle” was launched. Due to high demand, our bookson Sumatran tigers and Kalimantan orangutans werealso reprinted this year.

The environmental and education unit has also beenbusy organizing training and seminars for teachersand village heads in the provinces of CentralKalimantan and Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. WWF-Indonesia, in collaboration with the local governmentof Katingan district, Central Kalimantan, hasdeveloped a local module for the environmentaleducation curriculum in elementary schools. Thismodule has been developed with a team of schoolheadmasters and teachers from every sub-districtin Katingan district and the curriculum includes ahandbook for teachers.

This year, WWF-Indonesia’s Supporter programmehas grown fast. Whereas our membership previouslyconsisted of only one member category, the NatureBuddies (Sahabat Alam), by the end of FY 2007 WWF-Indonesia had added another two types ofmembership: Junior Conservationists and NatureGuardians.

The Nature Buddies is the first type of membershipthat was developed and the membership level hasremained fairly constant. As of June 2007, 400individuals are registered in this member categoryand they wish to be engaged with WWF activities.

The WWF-Indonesia Merchandise unit plays animportant role in promoting conservation and a ‘green’lifestyle. It also facilitates our engagement with localcommunities at our field sites through the “Green &Fair” products initiative. This year, the Merchandiseunit has been very successful in reaching a widermarket segment, with individual buyers and companiesshowing interest in our ever expanding range ofmerchandising. The proceeds from our sales not onlyfacilitate outreach to thousands of people who buythe products, but they also contribute financially toour conservation work on the ground.

Membership The Junior Conservationist programme was launchedin July 2006, by leveraging the environmentaleducation programme “WWF goes to school” and thePowerSwitch! campaign. This programme isgenerating a very good response from schools andresulted in an amazing 7,000 new members by June2007. The main benefits of this programme is that itis cheap (IDR 50,000 per year), and offers WWFmerchandise and special discounts from our partnerssuch as Seaworld and Timezone.

The Nature Guardian category includes memberswho donate on a monthly basis (minimum IDR 50,000per month) to support our work. This programmebegan in October 2006 in Jakarta and expanded toSurabaya by early 2007. By June 2007, 1,200individuals had joined WWF as Nature Guardians.

WWF-Indonesia launched a dedicated website, , toincrease the engagement opportunities for oursupporters. Moreover, active supporters are asked toget involved in WWF’s activities such as our “OneEarth” events to celebrate Earth Day.
