Sumatra’s biodiversity, and can be used as a primary reference in future policy making and investment
decisions.
2. Executive Summary
In an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the conservation community in the preservation and
sustainability of natural biodiversity, we must set targets that can be used to measure the progress and
success of conservation activities. Conservation International has designed such targets known
as Conservation Outcomes. Measuring our progress towards achieving each conservation target is
undertaken through the implementation of the Outcomes Monitoring Framework.
The conservation communities, as a collaborative unit must coordinate together to combine efforts that
are focused on ensuring that natural biodiversity remains sustainable over the long term. Due to this
reason, all relevant stakeholders play a unique role in providing necessary capacity and resources that
5
are utilized to build biodiversity conservation strategies. It is critical partnerships are formed and data
sharing responsibilities are agreed upon in order for conservation efforts to become more efficient
The consultative workshops in Padang and Banda Aceh were proposed and facilitated by Conservation
International-Indonesia with the primary intention of gaining better cooperation among key stakeholders
in the development of conservation investment targets, implementation of strategies, and the long term
sustainability of monitoring initiatives for Sumatra’s rich biodiversity.
3. Introduction
In 2003 CI conducted a Conservation Assessment and Management Plan for Threatened Sumatran
Species and Red List Assessment of Threatened Reptiles and Freshwater Fish. A total of 266 species
and subspecies in seven taxonomic groups were assessed: 41 mammals, 29 birds, 34 reptiles, 3
amphibians, 20 freshwater fishes, 49 butterflies and 90 angiosperms. For each taxon, participants
identified existing and potential threats, population and demographic trends, IUCN Red List category,
past and current research initiatives, and broad-based research and management recommendations.
Distribution maps for each taxon also were prepared. The final results have been edited and compiled
to be used as a baseline information for the KBA delineation process.
In 2004 and 2005 the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund granted funding to Conservation International
and the Wildlife Conservation Society to assist in identifying biodiversity conservation targets (at the
species, site and landscape level), promoting and implementing a biodiversity status monitoring program
(including gathering baseline data on species, areas and landscapes), and assisting in the development
of a biodiversity conservation network made up of major stakeholders in Sumatra. As part of the grant,
this workshop was conducted to involve participants in the assessment of existing and new species and
habitat data and to actively participate in thinking through the most effective and cost-efficient strategy
for implementing a collaborative and sustainable monitoring program for the Sumatra Hotspot.
3.1 Defining Conservation Targets
There are numerous threats faced by the world’s biodiversity. In order to prevent extinction of the
world’s natural biodiversity, we must set conservation targets and monitor our progress towards their
achievement. These targets should be quantitative, justifiable, repeatable, and globally consistent. In
addition, our targets should be aimed toward conserving the species and areas that are of most concern.
The methodology is applied to identify target species and priority areas, building on the process that has
been used more than two decades by Birdlife International in identifying Important Bird Areas (IBA).
Criteria to trigger target species are:
1. Globally threatened species, (as described above).
2. Restricted range species that have a limited range, currently defined as less than 50,000km 2.
3. Congregatory species, which are defined as species that congregate at one or a few sites in
very large numbers at some point in their life cycle.
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), which are IBAs modified to include data from taxonomic groups other
than birds, are identified through the presence of one or more trigger species, using specific thresholds
for each category. KBA identification uses existing and available data on species distribution, using
confirmed species records (such as point locality data) to identify sites. Site delineation is based on
protected area boundaries where available, and in other areas, on suitable habitat, land cover, land-use,
and management information. Sites are delineated in such a way that they can be effectively managed
6
for conservation. Important Bird Areas (IBAs) are a major subset of KBAs, since they comprise the set
of key sites for birds. In addition, a further subset of KBAs are Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites;
these sites hold 95 percent or more of the global population of one or more globally threatened species,
and as such serve as the highest priorities for conservation. Through consultations with workshop
participants using an initial draft set of described KBAs, modifications based on recommendations were
taken into consideration for refinement. Additional data were provided by participants for validation of
these changes. Results are provided in the workshop discussion below.
Additional consultations or workshops will take place for identifying landscape-scale targets once KBAs
are delineated. Landscape-scale targets will address threats to the persistence of sites, the needs of
area-demanding species (such as migratory, wide-ranging, and low-density species), and landscapelevel ecosystem processes critical to the persistence of species and sites. While the main focus for this
workshop was on site-scale targets (the KBAs), landscape-scale targets will be presented at future
workshops and through other stakeholder consultations.
3.2 Monitoring Conservation Targets
Outcomes monitoring is directed at assessing the status of the species, sites, and landscapes that we
target as our conservation outcomes. By implementing standardized and practical measures for
monitoring at the species, sites, and landscape/seascape level, we strengthen our ability to report on
progress. The establishment of collaborative and systematic monitoring improves our effectiveness to:
 Explicitly track and assess trends in the status of biodiversity at the species, site and
seascape/landscape levels
 Assist in demonstrating impact of actions and investments on biodiversity
 Use derived information to justify and direct future conservation, policy and investment decisionmaking to improve the protection of species and sites of global conservation concern.
 Communicate successes and failures of conservation strategies to government agencies,
investment bodies, industry and society as a whole.
 Better understand the dynamics of biodiversity components and threats and adapt conservation
planning and monitoring strategies as needed
 Support global assessments by contributing to international biodiversity status reporting, most
notably the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
For the purpose of this workshop, NGOs, universities, government agencies, local communities and
donors were brought together to identify current monitoring initiatives, monitoring capacity and resource
needs, and an overarching framework for implementing a sustainable biodiversity monitoring program.
For the Sumatra project, CI is leading the socialization of the outcomes monitoring framework and
priority indicators to key partners. The priority indicators are being implemented globally, as they align
with a set of indicators selected by the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, we are working
across networks of NGOs, universities, government agencies, local communities and donors to identify
additional indicators that address the needs of various stakeholders and which trends can be reported
on both feasibly and more quickly. Following initial socialization, we will gather background information
through surveys and interviews to identify current monitoring methodologies, ongoing monitoring
projects/initiatives, existing capacity, data sharing challenges and strategies for sustainability. Through
this survey process, we intend to assess the current state of monitoring in Sumatra as well as identify
needs for further implementation of a region-wide monitoring protocol.
7
The objective of both regional workshops is to socialize the outcomes concept, receive expert review on
the delineation of Key Biodiversity Areas, develop a set of region-specific indicators, draft work plans for
delivering data on the indicators, develop a fundraising and sustainability strategy for the project and
identify a monitoring coordinating body for each region to move forward with key recommendations.
Throughout the workshops and surveying of partners, we plan to identify training needs and develop
concept documents for fulfilling these needs. For example: GIS, database training, species identification
and monitoring, mentorship opportunities, and standard monitoring protocols. Leveraging capacity and
resources for monitoring within key institutions will help strengthen the sustainability of a collaborative
monitoring network in Sumatra.
Change detection analysis, using remote sensing technology, is a key component for gathering baseline
data during the initial phase of outcomes monitoring. Satellite-based assessments can help authorities
and conservation managers monitor forest loss in a transparent, timely and cost effective way, enabling
them to check the legality of harvesting operations and pro-actively plan conservation strategies.
Although damage to forest ecosystems comes in part from resource extraction activities that may be
undetectable by remote sensing technology, a large part of this damage results in total and permanent
clearance of forest cover, which can be easily observed by remote sensing. The method proposed for
mapping land cover changes for this project is based on user defined classification of multi-date Landsat
imagery, co-registered to the Geocover product (an orthorectified Landsat product) for greater accuracy.
Ultimately, this will provide valuable data for informing policy makers of the state of Sumatra’s remaining
forests.
3.3 Sumatra Biodiversity Monitoring Workshops
The Outcomes Monitoring Workshops were conducted in Padang and Banda Aceh due to several
reasons. Universitas Andalas is the largest university in Central and South Sumatra, where experts and
potential researchers gather. Universitas Andalas is expected to conduct conservation related activities
in KBAs and other priority areas in collaboration with other key universities and stakeholders, in
particular BKSDA, BAPPEDA, the Army and NGOs. In North Sumatra especially NAD province,
information on natural biodiversity from the field is scarce due to historical political conditions. Currently
the political situation has enabled field research and surveys to obtain updated condition of the flora and
fauna. Universitas Syahkuala, which acts as the anchor for research, hopes to be actively involved and
regarded as the central information centre for North Sumatra’s natural biodiversity. Ideally the workshops
would be conducted in every province, but due to our limitations and due to the above reasons, the
workshops were only conducted in Padang with UNAND as the host; and Banda Aceh with Syahkuala
as the host. Nevertheless, all the universities and relevant stakeholders in Sumatra from the national to
provincial level were invited to participate and provide input in the workshops.
3.4 Workshop Purpose
There are a number of biodiversity conservation focused organizations and institutions working in
Sumatra. In addition, several donors have invested millions of dollars for conservation activities and
relevant issues, including CEPF. Due to the area’s natural biodiversity and high rate of extinction, CEPF
has channeled funds for Sumatra through both local and international NGOs. By investing funds to
conduct workshops, CEPF has provided the necessary resources needed to obtain relevant information
and stakeholder inputs necessary to determine conservation targets for KBAs. In addition, a major
objective of CEPF is to evaluate conservation activities in Sumatra and evaluate what extent they
successfully apply conservation investment for preventing extinctions and protecting sites. Thus an
important aspect of this workshop is to build sound partnerships in conservation activities and monitoring
8
while recognizing conservation priority areas as a platform for directing future collaborative strategies. In
order to achieve measurable conservation targets, mechanisms to share information and conduct
collaborative analyses, dissemination and fundraising efforts must be driven forward by a sustainable
biodiversity monitoring network involving key partners in Sumatra who can take on critical roles and
responsibilities that ensure the process remains active in the long term.
3.5 Workshop Objectives
The primary objectives of these workshops were to understand and obtain updated information on
Sumatra’s natural biodiversity and to establish a platform for monitoring the status of biodiversity.
Secondary objectives included the review and decision making of draft documents outlining an
information sharing and cooperation framework as well as a process for future collaboration. The
workshop also sought to obtain preliminary consensus on priority indicators for immediate
implementation as well as the establishment of a fundraising mechanism to ensure a monitoring network
is maintained and data collection, analysis and dissemination remains sustainable.
The following is a summary of the workshop objectives:
i. Understanding the current state of biodiversity in Sumatra at the species and site scales;
ii. Expert review of draft KBA delineation;
iii. Introduction to current and potential monitoring initiatives in Sumatra;
iv. Development of a set of priority region-specific indicators for immediate implementation and
measurement;
v. Preparation of draft work plans for delivering data on the indicators,
vi. Identify key institutions and allocate technical or advisory roles and responsibilities to support future
monitoring activities.
vii. Development of a fundraising and sustainability strategy for the project; and
viii. Identification of a monitoring coordinating body and training needs
For the purpose of this workshop, NGOs, universities, government agencies, local communities and
donors were brought together to identify current monitoring initiatives, monitoring capacity and resource
needs, and an overarching framework for implementing a sustainable biodiversity monitoring program.
3.6 Expected Workshop Outputs

4. Summary: What are the overall results of the 2-day workshops in
Padang and Banda Aceh?
Both workshops in Padang: 16-17 January and 24-25 January 2006 in Banda Aceh went smoothly as
planned with satisfactory results. A joint agreement was drawn up to establish a conservation network
that would drive forward a long term monitoring strategy to support monitoring, data sharing, and the
establishment and strengthening of University data centres, in particular UNAND and UNSYIAH, and
other key universities in Sumatra. The definition of KBAs were based on inputs and baseline information
provided by CI along with the inputs from workshop participants and experts from LIPI from a 2 day
workshop in LIPI Cibinong on 25-26 November 2005.
From the two workshops, several gaps have been identified, i.e. gaps in information and coordination
among conservation actors both at the planning and implementation phases.
4.1 Padang and Banda Aceh workshop outputs
Several agreements arose from the Padang workshop:
 The workshop participants agreed to strengthen communication and cooperation, and give UNAND
the role of the biodiversity information center. The participants were also enthusiastic to be able to
help and contribute to the delineation and refinement of KBAs. It was identified that community
involvement in the management and socialization of KBAs to the local government and general
public are critically needed.
 Agreement to cooperate and share data along with a draft agreement on data sharing.
 Establishment of information networks and data centers in universities such as UNAND for Central
and South Sumatra, and Syiahkuala for North Sumatra.
 Provide information and contribute to the KBA map draft.
 Use the KBA map as a primary reference for guiding future conservation investment and monitoring
activities.
4.2 Workshop Resolutions
At the end of the workshops, representatives from institutions present agreed to:
 Cooperate in providing input to KBAs and the establishment of compatible and systematic
monitoring systems, information sharing mechanisms, and data utilization and analysis processes.
 Universitas ANDALAS and Syahkuala agreed to become conservation information centers to
centralize biodiversity information..
 The Data Sharing Agreement has been discussed and received input from all the participants. It will
be sent to all institutions and NGOs to gain further contribution.
 CI and UNAND along with the other stakeholders will encourage the establishment of a collaborative
Task Force that will consist of individuals with concern for the environment and conservation, along
with prominent figures in Sumatra e.g. Prof. Dr. Emil Salim, etc.
 Conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of a trust fund for Sumatra.
11
4.3 Next steps






MoU on the data sharing is to be revised (please see Appendix 8.3). The updated data sharing
agreement will be sent to workshop participants for review and aims to be formalized through the
Task force committee.
Compile the workshop result report to be sent to all the workshop participants.
Distribute and socialize the completed KBA map.
Establish a task force that will be coordinated by UNAND and CI.
Establishing a mailing list as the base of the network and information sharing.
Sustainability of conservation funding in Sumatra
The workshop ended with high spirits from the participants with a collective agreement to establish and
strengthen cooperation, data sharing, along with an overarching vision among all to prevent further
species and habitat loss in Sumatra. Priority setting processes such as the KBA methodology and
systematic and long term monitoring systems are critical tools that enable conservation activities to be
more focused and strategic in where, how and why they are implemented.
5. Padang Workshop: Key outputs and recommendations
5.1 Matching Expectation with desired Objectives
After presenting the agenda, objectives and expected outcomes, the facilitator gave a short

5.3 Proceeding of Day 1
5.3.1 Objectives
The purpose of the first day of the workshop was to provide an overview of the current biodiversity
condition in Sumatra, present new concepts and criteria for defining conservation targets, and in turn
obtain revisions for draft KBAs. In addition, introductions to current monitoring initiatives and
frameworks were presented as an introduction to Day 2 of the workshop.
12
5.3.2 Proceedings: Presentations
(All presentations and documents generated during the workshop are outlined in the report appendix)
5.3.3 Key Biodiversity Areas in Central and Southern Sumatra
Sumatra is part of the Sundaland Hotspot, thus well structured conservation actions are important in
order to protect biodiversity components from the brink of extinction. From the species data information
gathered and collated, CI-Indonesia has identified 29 preliminary KBAs in Central Sumatra region
(covering the provinces of West Sumatra, Riau, and Jambi) and 18 preliminary KBAs in South Sumatra
region (covering the provinces of Bengkulu, South Sumatra and Lampung). These form the basis for
biodiversity conservation in Sumatra where specific actions for each KBA is needed in addressing the
diverse range of pressures threatening the existence of these sites of high priority.
5.3.3.1 Discussion
Important questions were raised and discussed following the presentation of the draft results of KBAs.
Major points conveyed in the discussion include:
 KBAs are not necessarily contained within conservation areas, but can be considered in outside
areas allocated for HTI and other forms of management.
 Threats and species data (from a variety of sources such as UNAND’s Biology Faculty minithesis)
need to be continually reviewed and updated by researchers
 Determination of the status of KBAs as well as authority and policies for protection must be key
considerations in the future.
 Data needs to be analyzed and translated into a form relevant for decision-makers to use the
information in a way that reduces conflicting interpretations and best assists them in developing new
legislation and policies.
 Local and international donors should be made aware of the results of the KBA data as well as the
results of this workshop to encourage future investment in biodiversity conservation.
 Field data should be validated through reliable sources, before being fed into global data sets such
as the IUCN list to enable national, regional and global analyses.
 Invertebrates should also be considered in the analysis due to their important role in conservation.
 It must be recognized that the IUCN Red list is a global data set and ample time is needed to detect
change in species status.
 KBAs need to be adopted to guide the establishment of new formally protected conservation areas,
but also other forms of management, such as community based management strategies.
13
5.3.3.2 Results from Group Revisions to Draft KBAs
During the next session, groups worked to identify areas used by globally threatened species that were
not yet identified as KBAs on the draft list.
Working groups were divided as follows:
Group
1
2

4
Area
West Sumatra
Riau
South Sumatra and Lampung
Jambi and Bengkulu
5.3.3.3 Results of KBA Review
Several additional inputs from each region were presented back by each group, both KBA sites and
species to be included in the endangered category based on the results from the field.
West Sumatra
 New species recommendations
 Joined adjacent KBAs
 Recommended plant species as indicators
 Included educational forest (or new areas as KBA)
 Recommended segregating amphibian species
 Advised that species that used to be considered the same (e.g. Macaca siberu & Macaca pagensis)
should be separated.
Riau
 Avoid using inaccurate forest cover maps (BAPLAN)
 Identified 7 new KBA locations (increased to 17 total for the region)
 Recommended that Southeast Riau’s coastal area should be re-evaluated for additional species
data
 Identified Siak Kampar peat land, consisting of 60% Acacia mangium, 40% still considered as “good”
land.
 Threats identified in this region include forest conversion, illegal logging, illegal hunting and forest
clearing.
 Recommendations for protection: natural forest should be conserved; forest industry rationalization.
Bengkulu & Jambi
 6 new KBA identified in Jambi, one in Bengkulu
 Mangrove forests are major habitat type that need to be considered in KBA analysis
 Recommendations made for species needing special attention ….what are they?
 Threats identified in the region include illegal logging, land conversion, etc.
 Identified needs for future conservation activities
 Recommended involvement of relevant stakeholders in determining KBAs.
South Sumatra
 Sufficient information from Lampung
14


Acknowledged that remaining forest areas are located around BBS National Park
The biggest threat identified in the region was illegal logging
Additional points that were addressed during the summary include:
 Species data will be submitted to IUCN for recommendations on additional species to be added or
status changed
 In order to explicitly determine KBA boundaries it is necessary to identify the priority areas to
conduct extensive research, especially for new found species.
 Constant monitoring is needed to refine and update existing data.
 KBAs can also be used to and highlight pressures threatening the existence of a species.
5.3.4 Day 1 Proceedings: Existing Monitoring Initiatives
* All presentation materials can be seen in Appendix 8.1
5.4 Proceedings of Day 2
5.4.1 Overview
Day 2 of the workshop focused on identifying an appropriate monitoring framework to implement in
Central and Southern Sumatra and highlighted the need to develop formal documents and agreements
to ensure sustainability of such a monitoring process.
5.4.2 Proceedings: Identifying Priority Indicators for Immediate Implementation
The objectives of the working group discussion included: evaluating values and the feasibility of
conducting monitoring for each selected indicator in Sumatra; identifying costs, data sources and data
users for each indicator; and providing input or recommendations for indicators. Participants were
divided into one of three groups, depending on their expertise (species, area, landscape).
5.4.2.1 Areas Group Results
Several items to be noted are:
 Data can only be taken in areas that have been conserved.
 There needs to be guidelines and a methodology for data mining and use in large scale analyses.
 Donors can focus on KBAs as primary areas for immediate investment.
 Each KBA should have a research station to facilitate continued data collection and strengthening of
management.
 Local community should be involved in research, monitoring and management processes.
 KBAs should be socialized to local governments and recommendations should be made for
infrastructure development.
 Support is needed from the local government, where the implementation will be adjusted with the
KBA indicators.
 Monitoring should be done rigorously and scientifically. Measurement can be conducted through
remote sensing, while validation can be done through groundtruthing.
15
5.4.2.2 Species Group Results
Several items to be noted are:
 Only a small number of focused monitoring for each bird species exist, and are not conducted
continually.
 For reptiles, the monitoring is more focused to trade, not on population change.
 There needs to be a focused monitoring for several recommended priority species (9 spp.) so limited
resources and capacity can be well directed
 There are several species with lower threatened status categories but no data available
 Monitoring is not done specifically, but it is hoped that population data can be fed into the IUCN
assessment process to update change in threatened status.
 Current population trends can not currently being detected
 The group will make a list of plants based on the IUCN data.
 Species monitoring is rarely done, when done, it usually uses vegetation analysis as a surrogate of
species information.
 The existing monitoring is focused to Nepenthes by the Nepenthes Team Padang; Aquillaria by LIPI,
Rafflesia by KCA-LH Rafflesia UNAND, and several species by Herb UNAND and FFI-Univ.
Bengkulu
 Obtain data from specimens and the field, including trade data.
 Data can be analyzed per hectare.
 Learn from orchid research in Malaysia
 Microbes need to be considered
 Tissue cultures for several species have already been done.
 For Nepenthes, there’s already cooperation with researchers from abroad. Rafflesia has also been
discussed by researchers from Malaysia.
 There is new information on Rafflesia, new species.
5.4.2.3 Landscape Group Results
 The filled matrix was presented and a recommendation was put forward that an independent agency
should be established to monitor and bridge the stakeholders and NGOs/community’s interest.
5.5 Discussions on Data Sharing, Networking and Identifying Needs and Strategy
Development.
Participants selected to be involved in one of three group discussions: data sharing, networking or
identifying needs and strategy development. The groups had different tasks, including revisions and
debate on a data sharing document, outlining key strategies for better communication and training, or
preparing a platform to enable sustainability of a monitoring program.
5.5.1 Results from Data sharing Discussion.
Several items that were the focus of discussion are as follow:
 The data and information is for public use.
 The data that is not for public dissemination needs to be agreed upon.
 Each institution must have a contact person responsible for coordinating data sharing issues.
 Data user: if an error occurs, it should be revised first, withdrawn from the public data and users
informed


The information source is not responsible for misuse of data.
Public data cannot be re-published, but can be revised. For that matter, there must be a guarantee
for the validity of data/copyright reserved, which has been included in the memorandum of
understanding discussed by the groups.
Data request and capturing tools for monitoring and reporting needs must not request absolute
species data but instead processed data for aggregation purposes.
Discussion on the memorandum of understanding draft.
5.5.2 Results from Networking Discussion
 Problems/issues facing the establishing a network:
a. The lack of communications means and infrastructure to support maintenance of
communication.
b. The lack of qualified human resources.
c. The lack of a personnel/agency acting as a liaison between the institutions forming the network.
d. Lack of ability of network members to obtain information can be overcome by each network
member possessing the website addresses
e. Individual database from institutions forming the network should be shared.

Recommendations:
a. NBIN: National Biodiversity Information Network (involving several conservation institutions) is
not yet operating, but could be a useful means for networking once it is operating.
b. Input: for institutions that already have a system for information gathering, they can continue
using it; meanwhile those who don’t have one, should start by doing a preliminary inventory.
c. Universitas Andalas and Universitas Sumatra Utara will be the lead institutions for overseeing
establishment of the biodiversity conservation networking. They will help to establish new
networks and join existing networks. Initially, metadata from NGOs, Universities and
Government Institutions will be consolidated and centralized in a collaboratively run and open
access data management system.
Before establishing a new network many steps must take place. Commitment is needed from the future
institutions forming and maintaining the network; (2) the infrastructure of the network needs to be
established; (3) the type of communication system to be used must be identified; and (4) benefits for
each member institution must be made clear. To address some of these steps, it was agreed on that a
mailing list would be established and that CI-Indonesia- Padang would moderate the mailing list.

In establishing a structure for the network, the following points were decided on:
a. Moderator for mailing list
b. Staff needed
c. Infrastructure needs
d. Computer
e. Information network
f. Database/data pool
g. Threats
h. Data user should actively use data and provide input for the network (with institutional
responsibilities)
17

Data sharing:
a) Identify data types that can be shared in the network (metadata)
b) Establish rules for use of data shared in the network
c) Establish network system (protocol network)
d) Data source and user should have an agreement
e) There must be an initial commitment by the data source and user
f) Moderator: UNAND
g) Needs: e-mails of the institutions/individuals that are going to join the network.
Important issues to be considered:
 Identify the potential network structure: staff (mailing list moderator); needs; threats (members
should be active institutionally)
 Data sharing: data type (metadata); data use; network system; member agreement on data sharing,
especially detailed data; initial commitments of the members.
 Input for moderator: UNAND
 There needs to be a mailing list along with the e-mail addresses of each network member.
 The data shared will be compiled into CI’s database.
 Caution must be taken when uploading data, recognizing that the data will be shared globally
5.5.3 Results from Identifying Needs and Strategy Development Discussion
 If a clearinghouse is formed, it can be a partnership body consisting of all elements, with the
secretariat at the university acting as a neutral body to oversee coordination. Secretariat will be
responsible for managing data and conduct meetings and discussion.
 A name will need to be decided: proposed name is conservation lovers forum (forum peminat
konservasi)
 There needs to be a forum to represent all elements.
 Each element must contribute, whether data, ideas or through a representative.
 Annual meeting after common rules are set.
 KLH will arrange the next meeting, along with the draft of the joint secretariat with CI & University.
 A small team will be established to develop the funding proposal.
 Details of the guidelines to be agreed on later.
 There needs to be a body to act as a bridge for all elements.
 The form of the forum is to only share data and information, there needs to be a dedicated person to
manage the flow of data.
 There is a need to have a common vision & mission, common objectives (KBA, followup/monitoring), along with big ideas.
 Training, such as database, website, local community approach to conservation, obtaining data
methods, data development, will need to occur for partners of the network and the secretariat.
Some of the training resources include: trainers, training modules, experts, software, hardware
 Needs include a mailing list/website, basic map updates (from CI, WCS for example), data on KBAs,
and a dedicated person to manage the flow of data/information.
 Potential funders include: CI/CEPF, WCS, local companies, JICA, WWF, New Zealand Aid,
AUSAID, USAID, ITTO, TNC, World Bank, Caltex, GEF, Ford Foundation, British Petroleum.

What is the best method for securing long-term/sustainable funding (e.g. multiple individual donors, trust
fund/endowment establishment, one large donor). Recommended that group look at examples such as
the Papua Conservation Fund and the Sumatra Trust Fund to see how they have developed.
5.5.5.2 Who is best equipped to approach donors and prepare proposals?
 A joint secretariat assisted by experienced personnel.
5.5.5.3 Should we establish a steering committee to oversee funding needs and fundraising? If
so, who should be part of it? What are their deliverables? When should they meet?
 A Steering Committee (SC) should be established including individuals with an international
reputation.
 Famous individuals who are interested in Sumatra but don’t necessarily work in Sumatra.
 The SC can be established during the proposal development.
 Donor institutions usually have their own committee.
 CI is will facilitate the SC for the time being until it can operate independently (SC ad hoc)
 CEPF will assist in advocacy efforts to obtain funding; usually donors don’t provide funds for
consortiums.
 Representatives for the Steering Committee: Prof. Emil Salim, Pak Irwandi Yusuf (NAD)

5.7 Closing
The workshop was closed by Bapak Ardinis Arbain, UNAND’s Head and Workshop Organizing
Committee. Thank you for sparing your time this past two days to attend this workshop. The discussions
during these two days were beneficial to develop a conservation action plan in the future. All of us from
Universitas Andalas are ready to be the implementers; meanwhile we rely on the more competent and
experienced parties to obtain the funds needed.
6. BANDA ACEH WORKSHOP: Key outputs and recommendations
6.1 Workshop Structure and Organization
More than 70 participants from universities in Banda Aceh and Medan, BKSDA North Sumatra and
Aceh, Heads of National Parks, local and international NGOs, research institutions, conservation experts
and several donors attended the Banda Aceh workshop. All participants were actively involved and
provided significant inputs. (The complete list of participants can be seen in Appendix 8.7). An
20
independent facilitator led the workshop and proceedings took place in plenary discussion, small working
groups, and presentations in plenary.
6.2 Introduction to the Workshop
Indonesia is prone to many natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. On the 26th
of December 2004, the Tsunami disaster destroyed NAD and Northern Sumatra along with several
islands such as Nias and Simeulue, and reached as far as Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.
In terms of natural biodiversity, Indonesia is second after Brazil (but first if marine and terrestrial sp are
combined). Indonesia has two ‘hotspots’ – areas of high biodiversity and high threat. These are the
Sundaland and Wallacea hotspots. North Sumatra plays an important role in conserving natural
biodiversity since it has a large number of natural biodiversity elements. However, the region also faces
a number of threats to biodiversity; thus Northern Sumatra Biodiversity Corridor needs special attention
and careful planning when determining conservation targets and priorities. One of the threats towards
natural biodiversity includes illegal wildlife trade, which results in a decline of species in the wild.
Recently for example, 3000 gibbons from Sumatra and Kalimantan were traded and 1000 orangutans
were sold to be raised as pets. The list of endangered species in Indonesia is becoming longer and
more endangered
With the large number of species included in the endangered species list along with the species having
limited distribution, it is imperative we determine conservation priorities that are focused and strategic,
both short and long term. The priorities should be for the site and also the species itself, so that
extinction of the species on the IUCN Red List can be prevented. We have lost the Javan Tiger (P. tigris
javanica), Bali Tiger (P. tigris balica), and Paradise flycatcher (Eutrichomyias rowleyi). Meanwhile we still
have a large number of biodiversity that has not been utilized, more than 6000 food plant species and
2500 fish species that we can work towards protecting. It is hoped that the endangered species list can
be minimized to zero in the future.
Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) plays an important role in disseminating information on
Indonesia’s natural biodiversity. LIPI has 22 research centres, 20 UPT and research stations across
Indonesia. Besides implementing educational & technological applications in several areas in Indonesia,
LIPI has the asset of Indonesia’s biodiversity in the form of specimens and flora fauna collection from all
over Indonesia amounting to thousands.
LIPI has developed a center for exchanging information – NBIN, which acts as a mean to exchange
relevant information. The data existing in LIPI is hoped to be useful in formulating policies. Conservation
International in cooperation with LIPI analyzed the natural biodiversity in a certain area in order to
develop conservation priorities such as in Papua in 1997. This collaboration is also currently working
together to conservation priority areas across Sumatra.
6.3 Expectations during the Workshop
Expectations written by the participants were read by the facilitator. The facilitator then outlined which
expectations can be met through the agenda according to the objectives.
In general, the participants’ expectations can be summarized as follow:
1. Understand priority areas for biodiversity areas across Sumatra, and understand the steps needed
to conduct well directed conservation strategies within these sites.
21
2. Enabling the involvement of institutions and academics in activities supporting research processes.
3. Need for information to develop a network for biodiversity conservation in the future.
4. Understand the priority of issues and understand how to give more emphasize on information,
network and cooperation utilization.
5. Data sharing protocol.
6. Conservation planning that is more solid and stable.
7. The Northern Sumatra conservation corridor is implemented.
8. Forming the same mindset of perception and initiative of the importance of a global thinking
conservation with local actions.
9. Developing a network to exchange reliable information on biodiversity values.
10. Data sharing and initiate cooperation in the future.
11. Evaluate endangered species in Sumatra.
12. The natural biodiversity in Aceh and North Sumatra is not only revealed by total numbers but also its
uses.
13. Conservation of important biodiversity areas in Aceh and understand the importance and
uniqueness of Aceh biodiversity currently.
6.4 Proceedings of Day 1
Sumatra is part of the Sundaland Hotspot thus structured conservation actions are important to save the
region’s biodiversity from the brink of extinction. The delineation of KBAs helps conservation
organizations direct the limited resources to the areas that need urgent action. From the information
gathered and collated, CI-Indonesia has identified 12 preliminary KBAs in Northern Sumatra region
(covering the provinces of Nanggroes Aceh Darussalam and North Sumatra). These sites will form the
basis for biodiversity conservation in Sumatra where specific actions for each KBA are needed in
addressing different pressures threatening the existence of each KBA.
6.4.1 Review and Revisions of Draft Key Biodiversity Areas
6.4.1.1 Overview
The objectives of the working group discussions were: reviewing, improving or adding information of
each KBA identified in addition to contributing further species data point to delineate KBAs that have not
been identified yet.
6.4.1.2 Results
NAD Group Discussion Result Presentation:
 Threats for species:
a) This group did not discuss threats for each species, but directly identified threats for an area or
ecosystem.
 Area:
a. When discussing areas and threats, this group identified:
b. Seulawah Ecosystem: The threats for its habitat are as follow: Land conversion into plantations,
HTI, illegal logging, HPH and animal hunting.
c. Leuser Ecosystem: Threats identified: Habitat threats, land conversion into plantations, HTI,
illegal logging, HPH and animal hunting.
d. Geumpang Pidie: This area is recommended as a KBA candidate since the area’s potential is
still high. Threats to the area are high, such as illegal logging, land conversion, and animal
hunting. Further studies are still needed for this area.
22
e. Pulo Aceh Besar: Threats to the area or Ruhaya leatherback turtles. Danau Laut Tawar: An
endemic fish species lives there and is threatened to be extinct. The endemic species in the lake
is very large due to the logging and habitat destruction around it.
f. Simeuleu Island and forests in Aceh Jaya district are KBAs identified with similar threats as the
other, such as land conversion, HTI, animal hunting and others.

Species:
a) Discussion on the species list provided for this group. The group has identified several species
expected to exist, or definitely exist.

Threats to Species and the area:
a) This group prioritizes to identify threats to species and the required conservation actions
needed.
b) Orangutan (Pongo abelii): Threats include habitat conversion, trade, hunting, and illegal logging.
The conservation actions existing currently include the strengthen protection in National Park,
education, campaigns, and rehabilitation. Additional conservation actions needed to deter
threats are ecotourism and research.
c) Elephants (Elephas maximus): Threats include habitat conversion, tusk trade, illegal logging,
hunting and poor management of the Pusat Latihan Gajah (Elephant Training Centre). The
current conservation actions include conserving elephant’s habitat through the National Park,
education, campaigns, and PLG.
d) Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatranus): Threats are similar with the other species, but in
the future need to add the number of TPUs (Tiger Protection Unit) in areas where tigers exists.
e) The species matrix containing the endangered species in Sumatra was provided for the group to
fill in information on their distribution. Group members also added several areas expected to
contain target species.
6.4.1.3 North Sumatra I group result presentation:
 Species and Threats:
a) For several species such as elephants, tigers, orangutan, batak fish, mousedeer, and deers
almost all the threats are the same, i.e. illegal hunting and illegal logging.

Threats to the area:
a) Leuser ecosystem: land conversion into palm oil plantations, logging, hunting, road
development, land selling and migrants in the Besitang area. The current conservation actions
include elephant conservation, area conservation, and law enforcement by the Gunung Leuser
National Park. Conservation actions expected in the future include land rehabilitation and
agroforestry. North Sumatra East Coast: law enforcement and rehabilitation done by BKSDA
SU1, Langkat local government and NGOs. Community based land rehabilitation in the Jaring
Halus and Secanggang villages, Langkat, North Sumatra. It is hoped that the efforts can still be
continued in the future.
b) Batang Toru protection Forest: threats faced by the area are logging (HPH Teluk Nauli), (gold)
mining exploration potential (PT. Newmont Horas Nauli acquired by Agincourt Resources Ltd in
2006), illegal logging, hunting, land conversion, forest clearing, road development. The current
conservation efforts are public awareness, natural biodiversity surveys, agroforestry location
identification, law enforcement and several other conservation activities conducted by CI and
ICRAF.
23
c) Batang Gadis National Park: The threats are almost the same as Batang toru; the existence of
potential mining activities by Sorik Mas Mining, besides that there are many mining activities
conducted by community on the banks of Batang Natal river. Community agricultural fields, land
conversion into palm oil plantations, and road development. The current conservation actions
among others are activities by CI and Bitra consortium in the form of natural biodiversity
research, community assistance and community development, along with several trainings for
communities in several villages around the National Park. The conservation actions is hoped to
be continued in the future, along with additional activities such as alternative economies, public
awarness, and socialization of the National Park to the community since it is still relatively new,
and the community still needs explanation on the importance of the national park.
d) Danau Toba, Nias Island and Tanahmassa Island, were also discussed by this group. The
threats were similar to the other KBA, there are several forest monitoring activities in Nias Island
conducted by YLI.
* The provided endangered species list was filled in and added with information on the
distribution of the known species.
6.4.1.4 North Sumatra II group results presentation:
The group divided threats generally for all location, i.e. fragmentation: land conversion, hunting, etc. The
current conservation actions among others are public awareness campaigns, surveys to come up with
recommendations, elephant training centres, formal decree from the North Sumatra Governor on animal
conflict mitigation, bringing BPN to court, closing down several forestry concessionaires (HPH) and HGU
timber concession located inside orangutan habitat, increasing law enforcement, and developing the
area’s status. The current conservation actions are expected to continue in the future along with
additional advocacy activities to influence the executive and legislative bodies, at the same time
developing ecotourism as an alternative economy for areas that have potential to become tourist
destinations.
5.4.2 Current State of Monitoring Biodiversity Status in Northern Sumatra
As a part of the networking system, partners already active in monitoring natural biodiversity in North
Sumatra and NAD were requested to present their activities so far. From the conservation partner’s
presentation, we can identify strengths of each institution in order to develop cooperation and sharing
information. Details of the presentations are included in Appendix 34-41 as well as on the workshop CD.
Key points from the presentations include:
 Deforestation analysis using Landsat 7 TM and ETM satellite imageries with data from 1990-2000
will provide baseline forest cover data that can be used to assess trends in the future.
 When implementing a monitoring program it is essential to recognize how data can flow between
different levels (local, regional, national, global) to contribute and strengthen how informative data is
when reported at regional and global levels.
 Key steps should be taken to ensure that a monitoring program is sustainable, particularly tackling
fundraising issues and tools to maintain a collaborative monitoring network among key
organizations.
 Several studies on the natural biodiversity of ecosystem, communities, population and species are
occurring in Gunung Leuser National Park, Simeuleu Island, Rubiah Island, Banyak Island, and
other areas are spread all over NAD.
 The Universitas Sumatra Utara plays a key role in biodiversity conservation and will be a key
resource for overseeing the sustainability of a monitoring program.
24




Proper organization of research results and improved facilities are needed to take advantage of the
extensive flora and fauna collections from Northern Sumatra.
Several species specific monitoring and conservation activities are already occurring in the region,
including studies on Orangutan (Pongo abelii), Siamang (Symphalagus syndactylus), Kedih
(Presbytis thomasi), white handed Ungko (hylobates lar), long-tailed monkey (Macaca fascicularis),
Beruk (Macaca nemestrisna),black Lutung (Trachypithecus cristatus or auratus?), Ungko (Hylobates
agilis), elephants, Sumatran tiger, leopard (Felis bengalensis?), sun bears, deers, Sumatran Rhino,
porcupines, and manis javanica.
National parks, such as Gunung Leuser National Park, are already implementing conservation and
monitoring actives but recognize that improvements are necessary to better preserve the species
and their habitat.
Government agencies have been identified for carrying out certain agreements and international
treaties. It is important that we work with the appropriate agencies to ensure they have the most upto-date data. For example, the Ministry of Forestry was appointed as the Management Authority
(MA) for flora and wild fauna conservation. Additionally the Dirjen PHKA is the appointed MA CITES
implementor in Indonesia. This is in line with PHKA’s main role i.e. preparing the development and
implementation of policies, standardization, and technical assistance in the forest conservation and
nature conservation field. Several conventions have also been signed such as CBD, RAMSAR,
species migration, and international convention on whales.
6.5 Proceeding of Day 2
6.5.1 Objectives:
The workshop agenda for Day 2 aimed to discuss the indicators and monitoring priorities, networking,
future cooperation, data sharing, gap identification, future needs, and funding. The discussion focused
on conservation issues and agenda in order to achieve conservation objectives in Sumatra.
6.5.2 Proceedings
Identifying Priority Indicators and Monitoring Needs
The objectives of the working group discussion are: evaluating values and possibility of conducting
monitoring for each indicator in Sumatra; identifying costs, data sources and data user for each indicator;
and provide input or recommendation for indicators at all levels of decision maker levels.
*All presentations can be seen in Appendix 8.2
6.5.3 Discussion Groups Results
6.5.3.1 Species Group Discussion Result
This group made several species as indicator species such as:
 Elephant: The elephant conservation program currently being run by FFI using camera traps. The
feasibility of collecting data collected is high while implementation of the priority indicators is also
realistic. The elephant mitigation program is also being done by BKSDA and FFI, with the feasibility
of data collected high and priority indicators are high.
 Orangutan: the conservation program currently being carried out is a species and ecological
distribution program, which has a high priority.
 The group also identified conservation activities currently being held by: FFI, BKSDA, EKONA,
YAGASU, UNSYIAH, CI, TNGL, STIK, TRAFFIC, SOCP, YLI, SOS, USU, and other institutions
25
which have not been listed thoroughly during this event. Each institution has their own focus in the
areas and specific activities done along with sources of fund.
6.5.3.2 Area Group Presentation
 Several indicators were identified as priorities, among others the change in baseline of KBA and
conservation areas. Description of the indicator is how large or how much is the percentage of the
change in the baseline cover of the conserved KBA. The change is detected by satellite images
(500m and 30m resolutions), which were validated by aerial, and field surveys if available. This data
is not available yet, data availability remains low, meanwhile the ability to collect data is media, and
the need for this kind of data is high. The indicators are the number and percentage of KBA
conserved with physical demarcation borders. The KBA area stability has been identified, the data
available, the ability to collect data high, and the importance of the data is also high. The discussion
result and the table showed that the availability of data varies, from high, medium and low, but the
need for the data is relatively high.
 The data showed several gaps that need to be strengthened in order to align the need for data and
information with the capability and availability of data. The result also shows components that need
special attention in the future.
6.5.3.3 Landscape Group Result
Several indicators were developed and described in order to see who is collecting data, data validity,
data value, and priorities of each component. The coastal ecosystem change trend is relatively normal in
terms of area, biophysics, socio-culture, and economy. The indicator for loss due to alien species,
financial resources contributing to the availability of indicator data, and the number of organizations
contributing to conservation activities, and indicator for the availability of clean water and the forest
fragmentation with its connectivity. All the indicators were valued to see the current priority and future
plan. Several important notes on the data collection activities currently and information on who is
collecting the data can also be seen.
6.6 Results from Discussion on Data Sharing, Networks and Identifying Needs and
Strategy Development
6.6.1 Results from Data Sharing Discussion
This group discussed the MOU on data sharing and guidelines in exchanging information. The draft was
discussed before in the data sharing group during the Padang workshop, which was revised by the
group in order for the MOU can be accepted by all parties in Sumatra.
6.6.2 Results from Networking Discussion
The group created a proposal to develop a conservation network, mailing list, develop a website and
database. The group also identified institutions expected to be responsible for each activity. The
discussion identified the need to develop a biodiversity information network centre for North Sumatra.
The group also identified the requirement needs.

6.6.4 Summary of Presentations
6.6.4.1 Needs
 Trainings to improve human resources capacity (e.g. Technical, analytical);
 All trainings should have a TOR;
 Training can be done by NGOs/educational institutions/other organizations who are competent but
need re-confirmation on their availability;
 Suggestion to add training on conflict management;
 Time frame and budget has not been fixed yet, will be determined later;
 Sources of fund can be from national, international NGOs, government agencies, donor agencies to
fulfill the identified needs;
 Proposal should be developed together;
 Potential experts during the workshop should be identified;
 Community around the KBA should be given the opportunity to improve their capacity;
6.6.4.2 Data sharing
 The data source comes from several parties, and so does the data users;
 There are still a lot of constraints in accessing the available data/information (e.g.: bureaucracy, data
quality);
 The revised memorandum on data sharing will be sent to the workshop participants for further
revision;
 Funding is needed to develop and manage the database, and also to improve the human resources
capacity;
 The base map is obtained from one source: BAKOSURTANAL; meanwhile the thematic map can be
from several sources according to the need;
 Data use for obtaining funding can be used as long as it states the source of information.
6.6.4.3 Networking
 The network development will be carried out together;
 The network members consists of various parties;
27


Language barrier can be a constraint to the communication flow;
Direct communication should be done at least once a month.
6.7. Closing
The workshop was formally closed by Bpk. Ir. Abdi A. Wahab, MSc (Dekan UNSYIAH) on 25 January
after a discussion with questions from several participants i.e. on the follow up of the workshop, the role
of CI in the future in term of how to implement the strategy and how to fundraise for conservation
activities. UNSYIAH itself was proposing to become the information center for biodiversity conservation
in the northern part of Sumatra Island.
The next step would be finalizing the KBA maps after the consultation process is done. It is crucial that
the final version of the map and supporting document can be disseminated among the key decision
makers for recommendation in future spatial or development planning initiatives.

7. Workshop conclusions and next steps (for Padang and Banda Aceh)
Both workshops were a great success in facilitating consensus building on critical issues related to the
development, implementation and maintenance of a standardized and coordinated long term monitoring
program for Northern, Central and Southern Sumatra. This included the selection of sites of highest
priority for conservation, the development of criteria for tracking changes in the status of conservation
relevant species, habitats and landscape components and the identification of necessary components
that must be in place to support long term monitoring.
As a summary these were identified as:
• Key stakeholders with defined technical roles & responsibilities
• Complementary indicators with standardized measurement protocols
• Centralized & compatible data housing and analysis infrastructures
• Collaborative dissemination efforts (workshops, publications)
• Fundraising strategy driven by multiple partners
Both workshops also took stock of ongoing monitoring activities, with a view to identifying how existing
initiatives can better collaborate to fill current capacity and resource gaps that hinder our ability to
systematically and consistently establish a sustainable monitoring system for Sumatra.
7.1 Critical next steps to follow up on:
Using the synthesized workshop outputs and recommendations as a platform, a selected set of activities
have been identified as imperative for follow up. These recommendations should be central to how we
collaboratively move forward with a cross-institutional strategy for biodiversity monitoring.
 Agree on tools and protocols on data sharing and push forward with the formal signing of the
data sharing agreement with the key institutions that will regularly provide and use the
information. A follow up meeting with key representatives needs to be carried out to formally
establish this agreement.
 Prioritize and finalize set of standardized indicators to establish baseline on and agree on
institutional roles and responsibilities in collecting and analyzing such information.
 Appoint a task force/steering committee with well-defined roles for participants and institutional
roles.
a. Key activities should include developing next steps with strict timeline to direct
achievement of deliverables, drawing up of guidelines for data collection, analysis and
reporting and collaborative fundraising proposals that targets capacity building for
monitoring.
b. Use the task force as a mechanism to establish process to maintain communication
between data users and providers within the network.
c. Use taskforce resources to fundraise for staffing to support maintenance of biodiversity
monitoring network.
 Identify resources and dates for follow up workshop to discuss progress made and necessary
strategy to leverage collected baseline data into decision making processes at the government
and donor levels.

8. APPENDIX
8.1 PRESENTATIONS from Padang workshop
8.1.1 Workshop Introduction
Speaker: DR. Dedy Darnaedy, Head of Puslitbang Biologi LIPI, Bogor
The introduction was presented along with a slideshow titled “Determining Key Biodiversity Areas in
Sumatra”. LIPI as the research institute in Indonesia plays an important role in conserving biodiversity, and is
responsible for delivering cutting edge research work.
Indonesia has a high level of natural biodiversity being the second Megadiversity country in the world after
Brazil. For certain aspects of biodiversity Indonesia represents a unique case and is unrivalled anywhere else
in the world.
Sumatra has an important role due to its high endemicity compared to many of the other islands. Determining
areas for conservation priority is closely related to the functions of the ecosystem in question, as well as
taking into account the importance of conserving several species in order to conserve the ecosystem itself.
Economic growth and social political decentralization act both as an opportunity and threat for biodiversity.
Forest concessions (HPH and HTI), plantations and extractive industries along with forest fires are among the
current threats faced by Sumatra. Deforestation rates in Sumatra are currently very alarming, the lowland
forest are now almost extinct. LIPI as a research institute and the Ministry of Forestry as the management
authority play an important role in preserving Sumatra’s remaining forests.
8.1.2 Workshop Opening
Speaker: DR. Ardinis Arbain, UNAND Head, Padang
The speaker presented an overview of the background and preparation process as well as the
implementation of the workshop. Initially, the workshop was planned to be held in Central Sumatra (Padang)
and South Sumatra (Lampung), but due to several considerations it was combined and held in Padang.
As the host of this workshop, UNAND conveyed their greatest thank you to all the participants. This workshop
was initiated by CI in cooperation with several other institutions such as the Ministry of Forestry, LIPI and
WCS.
Several major topics will be discussed over the next few days: what are the roles of each institution in future
conservation efforts? How can key conservation areas be preserved, and what type and level of conservation
priorities to be actioned as soon as possible in order to halt the high rate of species and habitat extinction. In
line with the above, we hope for active participation from each institution according to its role and function:
 Experienced participants can provide inputs for future natural biodiversity actions and activities.
 Government: get an update on the current threat towards natural biodiversity in Sumatra.
 Universities: share information with the government and NGOs especially regarding donors
30
8.1.3 Key Biodiversity Area Concept Presentation
In order to provide a thorough background understanding for the participants, a series of concept
presentations were delivered at the workshop. Opening presentations included the methodology and
standard framework adopted by CI and partners for determining key biodiversity areas.
8.1.3.1 Presentation: Outcome Definition
Speaker: Naamal De Silva, Conservation International
The goal of Conservation International is to prevent biodiversity loss, so we work within biodiversity hotspots
and high biodiversity wilderness areas. Hotspots are broad areas of high biodiversity as well as high levels of
threat. Thus, there is a need to target conservation within these areas using methods that are quantitative,
data-driven, transparent, and replicable.
Outcomes definition allows for:
1) More effective targeting of conservation and development investment as well as prioritization amongst
defined targets
2) Establishment of species and site targets to systematically measure progress towards
Outcomes definition provides site-specific recommendations to guide site-scale conservation through the
protection of Key Biodiversity Areas, (sites of global significance for biodiversity conservation, identified using
globally standard criteria and thresholds, based on the needs of biodiversity requiring safeguard at the site
scale). The active involvement of many partners in identifying and ultimately conserving these KBAs is crucial
8.1.3.2 Presentation: Key Biodiversity Areas in Sumatra
Speaker: William R. Marthy, Conservation International Indonesia (Central & South Sumatra)
Sumatra is part of the Sundaland Hotspot (Hotspots are broad areas of high biodiversity as well as high
levels of threat to this biodiversity) thus structured conservation actions are important to save its biodiversity
from the brink of extinction. From the information gathered and collated, CI-Indonesia has identified 29 KBAs
in Central Sumatra region (covering the provinces of West Sumatra, Riau, and Jambi) and 18 KBAs in South
Sumatra region (covering the provinces of Bengkulu, South Sumatra and Lampung). These scientifically
defined priority sites aim to act as a basis for future biodiversity conservation planning in Sumatra where
specific actions for each KBA are needed in answering different pressures threatening the existence of these
sites.
8.1.4 Sumatra Change Detection
Speaker: Boni (Wildlife Conservation Society)
There are conservation areas totaling 5.8 million ha in Sumatra from the 23 million ha all over Indonesia. This
means 25% of the conservation area in Indonesia is in Sumatra, but the rate of deforestation in Sumatra from
1985-1997 was 6.7 million ha which amounts to 29% of the total forest area in Sumatra – an alarming rate for
the natural biodiversity. The “Change Detection” analysis for Sumatra’s forest cover used Landsat satellite
TM and ETM data from 1990-2000. The analysis approach used supervised classification at ERDAS by
combining 12 data channels (band 1-5 and 7 in each image). The resulting map consisted of several classes:
forest, non-forest, deforestation, water body and cloud/cloud shadow. This method has also been applied in
several areas in West Africa, Madagascar, China, Philippines, and Indonesia with satisfactory results.
31
As a part of networking effort and involving relevant stakeholders in activities, the partners that have been
involved and are active in monitoring natural biodiversity in Central and South Sumatra were requested to
present their activities and results achieved so far to the forum. The presentations were conducted by
government institutions, NGOs, universities, and CI articulating the outcomes monitoring concept and lessons
learned from other regions. The presentations totaled to 8, divided into two sessions, as follows:
8.1.4 Measuring Natural Biodiversity Status. An integrated approach to implement multi-scale
indicators
William Crosse, Conservation International.
The presentation explained the relationship between different scales of monitoring and reporting and the
need to strengthen the relationship between local data collection and large-scale data representation in order
to establish more standardized and systematic regional biodiversity monitoring systems. The presentation
emphasized the need for better articulation to data providers of how species and site data is collated and
aggregated for regional monitoring, as well as the utility of such large scale reporting in helping to guide
policy and investment decision making at multiple scales, from the national level to the site scale. The
conceptual model generates data outputs that can be used to evaluate to what extent investment contributes
to the success of conservation actions at global, regional and national levels.
Questions to address in disseminating monitoring baseline information:
1) Reporting:
Can a subset of selected CBD indicators recommended for measuring the 2010 target be
adopted to track & report progress at national and regional scales?
2) Decision-making:
How can biodiversity information be best utilized by government and investment decision
makers to guide strategic conservation & sustainable development planning?
3) What scale of conservation decision making and by whom?
Reporting at regional, national and site scales and dissemination to multiple audiences, in
particular donors, government agencies, partners and protected area site managers
8.1.5 Indonesian Clearing-House Mechanism for Biodiversity
Development and Implementation of Natural Biodiversity Global Monitoring Program
Nurmayati
Indonesia has ratified natural biodiversity in the form of a law: Undang-undang no 5 – 1994 on the United
Nation’s ratification of natural biodiversity according to the mandate in the article no 18(3) stating that the
Ministry of Environment is the focal point for natural biodiversity conventions. The Ministry of Environment
has developed an Indonesian natural biodiversity site. The clearing agency functions as the gateway to
facilitate data and information exchange between natural biodiversity information users and providers.
The history of the birth of natural biodiversity conventions was during the Rio de Janeiro meeting in 1992.
The Ministry of Environment plays an important role as a Clearinghouse Mechanism for Biodiversity. For
detailed information, visit the Ministry of Environment’s website at http://www.menlh.go.id
32
8.1.6 Development and Implementation of the Natural Biodiversity Global Monitoring Program
Stacy Vynne, Conservation International
Monitoring is an activity that must be conducted continuously in order to detect the changes happening in
nature. In areas that have been identified as KBAs, the next step is prioritizing each KBA. This is then
followed by conducted activities in KBA areas that have been prioritized according to the criteria identified as
conservation actions. From the conservation action activities, monitoring is conducted in order to:
• Better understanding of the system we’re working in.
• Presenting data based on conservation targets.
• Valuing trends.
• Providing data for different groups with different scales.
• Contribute in demonstrating conservation action effectiveness.
• Improving areas that are conservation targets.
Results from the monitoring can be used to revise KBAs, the cycle is conducted continuously and the
changes can be measured. For instance, a species that has an Endangered status can be changed to
Critically Endangered or downgraded to Vulnerable. For conservation actors, the monitoring activities are in
the form of:
• Identification of major stakeholders
• Survey on existing monitoring efforts to identify capacity, human resources, and information needs
• Workshops to: Identification of priority indicators, Solutions to fulfill needs, Tackle data sharing issues,
Funding strategy and sustainability and work plan implementation
• Establishing a ‘steering committee’ to oversee the process
• Use collaborative steering committee network to oversee and coordinate the Continuing data collection,
analysis, valuation and reporting of trends in biodiversity. Such a network of partners can also collectively
develop more effective fund raising strategies.
8.1.7 The role of Universitas Andalas in Biodiversity Research Activities in Sumatra
Ardinis Arbain
Universitas Andalas has a Vision and Mission to conserve natural biodiversity. This is conducted by including
natural biodiversity conservation as a central theme in its curriculum.
Several researches have been conducted in: Gunung Gadut, Lembah Anai, Hutan Taman Raya Bung Hatta,
Alahan Panjang TNKS, Rimbo Panti, Singgalang, Danau.
Besides the above, direct socialization with the community is also conducted to explain the importance of
natural biodiversity.
Several researchers with adequate data:
• Birds: in HPPB, Panti, Sipisang, Anai Malampah and several locations in TNKS and around plantations
• Bats: Panti and areas in West Sumatra generally
• Small mammals: Kayu tanam, in HPPB
• Primate (Siamang and Ungko): Gunung Meru, Gunung Padang, HPPB and almost all conservation areas
in West Sumatra.
• Tapir: In TNKS and around it, Taratak Pesisir Selatan, Lempur Kerinci and around HPPB. Camera traps
are located in Teratak
• Amphibia: Lubuk selasih dan Anai areas, researches are currently being done on Sumatra amphibian in
Japan.
33
•
•
Fish: In several lakes. Danau Singkakrak, Maninjau, and rivers in West Sumatra, among others batang
anai, jujuhan, batang piruko and sungai asam.
Invertebrates: Especially butterflies, TNKS, TNS and Arau
8.1.8 The role of Universities and NGOs in Lampung
Marizal Ahmad
Universities and NGOs in Lampung closely cooperate with partners such as WWF-IP., WCS-IP, PKHSTNWK. Lecturers and students also conduct rigorous field based research on natural biodiversity
8.1.9 Identifying High Conservation Value Forest using HCVF Toolkits
Arif (NAMA PANJANG).
HCVF is a concept first developed by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and publicized in 1999. This
concept is used for several approaches such as conservation, natural resources utilization planning, policy,
advocacy, restructuring company policies on purchasing wood commodities, and many others. The HCVF
concept focuses on the importance of a forest’s values. By identifying these values, and ensuring that those
values can be sustained and improved, a rational policy on its management can be developed; which is in
line with efforts to maintain ecological and social values.
HCVF criteria are usually developed at the national level by FSC, which is then approved by the National
Initiatives as a part of a national standard criterion. The standards, including the HCVF definitions will then be
ratified by FSC. This will then be used as a guideline for forest managers in order to identify and manage
HCVFs in their unit. Two other elements that have to be done are: 1) mapping to describe the spatial
condition and analyze HCVF in the landscape according to the existing definition. 2) combine information and
analyzes to support conservation efforts and sustainable forest management in a certain landscape.
8.1.10 ZSL Project in Jambi
Dolly Priatna
Why tigers? because tigers are an endangered species and included in the Appendix 1 CITES, as a Critically
endangered species. The Sumatran Tiger is the last tiger in Indonesia after the Bali and Java tigers became
extinct. As a result, this species is now regarded as a high profile umbrella and indicator species. Besides
that, from the cultural aspect, this species is made into the mascot of Jambi city. The Sumatran Tiger is also
a charismatic species, and people collecting parts or the whole of this animal have their own pride. The AZL
program works outside conservation areas for the following reasons:
• Non conservation areas may have negative impact, but it also has potential as a connector or additional
habitat
• Non conservation areas can also play an important role for animals requiring large habitats such as tigers
• Among all non conservation areas, commercial land (such as plantations and production forests) play an
important role since they affect the environment, have economic value, and process potential for
conservation interests
Integration between economic growth and conservation is very important for the sustainability of wildlife
livelihood. Non-conservation areas should be managed in a way in line with conservation mission, in order to
protect wildlife (e.g. tigers) living in the area from being extinct.
34
Appropriate potential is quite high in several commercial land; proven by the large number of species
surviving in the area, along with the large number of companies wanting to have conservation programs to
maintain their reputation.
With scientific research as the base, and nurturing relationships with the industry, ZSL hope to understand
the relationship between the industry and conservation; which will provide input for the industry to maximize
their area’s potential in order to support conservation interest.
The objectives of the AZL program are:
 Developing infrastructure and a foundation for a research project and long-term tiger conservation
program.
 Developing a base program to monitor and conserve wildlife.
 Determine the number of tigers and its prey living in and around plantations.
 Study how tigers and its prey can survive in plantations.
8.2 PRESENTATIONS from Banda Aceh workshop
8.2.1 Opening
Report from the Organizing Committee President: Drs. Dalil Sutekat. MSc.
Mr. Dalil Sutekat presented the objectives of the workshop and conveyed his gratitude for the participants
that have attended the workshop. The objective of the workshop is to understand the status of Sumatra’s
natural biodiversity generally, and North Sumatra and NAD specifically. The next step is to identify sites for
high conservation priority located in northern Sumatra. North Sumatra plays an important role in conserving
natural biodiversity since it has a high biodiversity value as well as a large number of threats; thus the region
is in need of special attention and careful planning when determining targets and conservation priorities.
UNSYIAH, the largest education institution in NAD, welcomed Conservation International’s invitation to
become the host along with FFI, BKSDA and Leuser National Park. Also invited are relevant government
institutions, universities, local and international NGOs around North Sumatra and NAD.
The workshop aims to come up with recommendations and inputs for a KBA draft and monitoring model,
sharing both information and data, and strengthening networks between partners. Due to the importance, we
from UNSYIAH have conducted a pre-meeting with several faculty members to discuss the data and
information that already exists and should be shared during this event.
8.2.2 Workshop Introduction
DR. Jatna Supriatna, Vice President CII
Indonesia is a tropical country with many volcanoes and earthquake-prone, with a large number of seabeds.
If we study the map of Mount Merapi and all of Indonesia, and compared with the number of earthquakes that
occur in a year, Indonesia can be listed as a country that is very prone to natural disasters. On 26 December
2004, the Tsunami disaster destroyed NAD and North Sumatra along with several islands such as Nias and
Simeuleu, even reaching Thailand, Srilanka, and India.
Indonesia – when valued for its natural biodiversity potential, is second after Brazil; for several tax items
Indonesia even outwits Brazil. This means that Indonesia plays an important role and, as a country, has a
huge responsibility in conserving its natural biodiversity.
35
Indonesia has two “hotspots,” Sundaland and Wallaceae – both areas possessing high natural biodiversity
value as well as high threats. Threats towards natural biodiversity due to trade results in the decline of the
number of species in nature, for instance 3000 gibbons from Sumatra and Kalimantan were traded and 1000
orangutans from outside its habitat is traded and raised as pets – thus making the list of endangered species
in Indonesia longer both in quantity and also its endangered status.
With the large number of species included in the endangered species list along with a large number of range
restricted species, we have to determine conservation priorities that are focused and strategic, both short and
long term. The priorities should be for the site and also the species itself so that species extinction is
prevented While we have lost the Javan Tiger (P. tigris javanica), Bali Tiger (P. tigris balica), and Paradise
flycatcher (Eutrichomyias rowleyi), we still have a high level of biodiversity that has not been exploited, more
than 6000 food plant species and 2500 fish species have not been utilized to its maximum. Yet on the other
hand the endangered species list becomes longer and longer and Sumatra’s biodiversity becomes more and
more vulnerable.
8.2.3 DR. Dedy Darnaedi, Head of LIPI Biology Research & Development Center.
Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) plays an important role in disseminating information on
Indonesia’s natural biodiversity. LIPI has 22 research centers, 20 UPT and research stations all over
Indonesia. Besides implementing educational & technological applications in several areas in Indonesia, LIPI
houses critical assets of Indonesia’s biodiversity in the form of specimens and flora fauna collections from all
over Indonesia.
LIPI has developed a center for exchanging information – NBIN, which acts as a means to exchange relevant
information. The data existing in LIPI is hoped to be useful in formulating policies. Conservation International
in cooperation with LIPI analyzed the natural biodiversity in order to develop conservation priorities such as
those conducted in Papua in 1997 and now being determined in Sumatra.
8.2.4 Session 3: Presentation: Outcome Definition
Speaker: Naamal De Silva, Conservation International
The presentation was the same as in Padang. Please see appendix 8.1.3.1
8.2.5 Session 4: Key Sumatra Biodiversity Areas Presentation
Speakers: William R. Marthy, Conservation International Indonesia
Sumatra is part of the Sundaland Hotspot (Hotspots are broad areas of high biodiversity as well as high
levels of threat to this biodiversity) thus structured conservation actions are important to save its biodiversity
from the brink of extinction. From the information gathered and collated, CI-Indonesia has identified 12 KBAs
in Northern Sumatra region (covering the provinces of Nanggroes Aceh Darussalam and North Sumatra).
This will form the basis for biodiversity conservation in Sumatra where specific actions for each KBAs are
needed in answering different pressures threatening the existence of each KBA.
36
8.2.6 Deforestation monitoring in Sumatra, 1900-2000
David Gaveau, Wildlife Conservation Society
Evaluating deforestation by focusing on forest change across the hotspot is one of the key elements to
support both KBA delineation and measurement of habitat loss within these priority sites
The deforestation analysis for Sumatra’s forest used data from Landsat TM and ETM satellites in the 1990
and 2000 period. From the map produced, deforestation rate in the 10-year period of 1990-2000 can be
calculated along with the current forest cover of North Sumatra and NAD. The map can also show the impact
of road development towards forest destruction and deforestation. It is hoped that funding can be identified to
undertake the 2005 update analysis

8.2.9 Developing Research Cooperation in order to Develop Biodiversity Treasure and Conserve
Endangered Species
Zairin Thomy
Indonesia is a megadiversity country that has signed several international conventions on biodiversity.
Sumatra has a complete ecosystem type. The largest area in Sumatra i.e. Gunung Leuser National Park is
located in NAD, amounting 2.6 million hectares. As a result of this, research in NAD needs to be extensive
and rigorous. Several scientific studies on the natural biodiversity of ecosystems, communities, species
populations in Gunung Leuser National Park, Simeuleu Island, Rubiah Island, Banyak Island, and other areas
are conducted across the large spatial scope of NAD.
8.2.10 Biodiversity - Biology Department, Universitas Sumatra Utara \
Erni Jumilawati
Universitas Sumatra Utara plays a critical role in the development of biodiversity conservation strategies
using its available academic and student resources. USU possesses a comprehensive laboratory and an
extensive collection of flora and fauna specimens for use in student studies. The Biology Faculty, at USU is
one of the key members of the National Biodiversity Network, based in LIPI a primary institution responsible
for developing data management systems using NBIN standards.
There are over 3000 collection of flora and a 300 fauna collection for the Northern Sumatra region. However,
the constraints faced include lack of proper organization of research results and the minimum facilities
available to centralize, organize and analyze the data-sets.
37
8.2.11 The role of NGOs in Natural Biodiversity Research Activities in Sumatra
Tisna Nan do (FFI)
Started working in Aceh since 1997 with the Sumatran Elephant Habitat Conservation program (CELA;
Conservation Elephant Landscape in Aceh), emphasizing the importance of the Sumatran tiger (Elephas
maximus sumatranus) as a flagship species and working in 4 regencies (currently in 8) in the northern part of
Aceh.
There are several activities currently carried out by FFI in Aceh. Among others are elephant habitat
management, re-modeling elephant’s natural habitat, conducting ground truthing for elephant distribution and
habitat modeling, distribution and population surveys on Sumatran tigers in Aceh, human-elephant conflict
mitigation in Aceh and North Sumatra, vegetation survey, home range survey and elephant immigration. A
principles objective of FFI’s program is to integrate biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural
resources management into Aceh’s post tsunami spatial planning strategies, while also focusing on Ulu
Masen forest area in 4 regencies of Northern NAD.
In their daily activities in the field, FFI conducts monitoring activities both directly and indirectly, while at the
same time monitoring several endangered primates such as Orangutan (Pongo abelii), Siamang
(Symphalagus sydactylus), Kedih (Presbytis thomausi), white handed Ungko (hylobalates lar), long-tailed
monkey (Macaca fascicularis), Beruk (Macaca nemestrisna),black Lutung (Trachypithecus), Ungko
(Hylobates agalis). Field observations also showed several endangered bird species, and also other species
such as the Sumatran tiger, leopard, sun bears, deers, Sumatran Rhino, porcupines, and manis javanica.
8.2.12. Lessons Learned from Gunung Leuser National Park
Wiratno. MSc
National Parks act as areas where biodiversity information from the field can be collected. The Gunung
Leuser National Park is the largest conservation forest area in Sumatra, representing several types of
habitats as well as ecosystems with rich natural biodiversity. It also serves as the largest water catchment
area in Sumatra. In order to preserve and ensure sustainable use of the natural resources, there needs to be
strong partnerships and cooperation between existing stakeholders. Several elements need to be considered
and balanced as such partnerships are built, i.e. knowledge, skills and attitude. There needs to be team work
in order to achieve high quality results and ultimately large conservation impacts. To establish better
teamwork, leadership to form cohesive strategies needs to be put in place. If such teamwork exists, the
combined skill, knowledge and attitude accompanied with a solution-orientated spirit will enable the
organizations to run smoothly and achieve more optimum results.
8.2.13 The role of DITJEN PHKA as the fauna and wild animal conservation management authority
According to article 65 PP. No. 5 Tahun 1999, the Ministry of Forestry was appointed as the Management
Authority (MA) for flora and wild fauna conservation.
According to the Ministerial Decree SK MENHUT No.104/Kpts-II/2003, Dirjen PHKA is the appointed MA
CITES implementer in Indonesia.
This is in line with PHKA’s main role i.e. preparing the development and implementation of policies,
standardization, and technical assistance in the forest conservation and nature conservation field. Several
38
conventions have also been signed such as CBD, Basel, Ramsar, species migration, and international
convention on whales.
The main objectives of CITES to be emphasized are:
The need for long term conservation, improving the value of natural biodiversity for humans, the role of the
nation and community in efforts to conserve wild animals, and the increasing need for international
cooperation to conserve species from being over exploited.
Indonesia have signed CITES, thus is responsible for adhering to these rules, attending meetings, and
coordinating with relevant institutions (LIPI, DEPTAN, Bea dan Cukai, DEPAG, DEPHUT dan police).
Several aspects to be regarded as reference in national legislation are:
 Appoint a Management Authority and Scientific Authority.
 Must be able to ban trade of species prohibited by the convention;
 Must be able to convict illegal trade (does not have to be in line with CITES guidelines);
 Must be able to confiscate specimens traded illegally.
Fauna included in the CITES list are endangered species, such as
 App. I : Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus), elephant (Elephas maximus),
Tiger (Panthera tigris), Orangutan (Pongo pygmeus), Arwana (Sclerofagesformosus), Bali mynah
(Leocopsar rotschildii) etc.
 App. II : Varanus salvator, long-tailed monkey, Ambon turtle, phyton
(Pyton curtus), ornamental reefs, cycas, orchids, Gaharu, sea horse, Ramin
(Gonystylus spp.).
 App. III : swamp snake (Cerberus rhinchop),
39
8.3: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Group A discussed the MoU on data sharing and guidelines in exchanging information. The draft was
discussed before in the data sharing group during the Padang workshop, which was revised by the group in
order for the MoU can be accepted by all parties in Sumatra. The content of the MoU is as follows:
Memorandum of Understanding on Data Sharing
We, the participants of the workshop agree to conserve global natural biodiversity, in order for humans to live
in harmony with nature. This can be achieved through partnerships with various parties. This type of
partnership is important in order to achieve better results compared to working alone. There are various forms
of collaborations among conservationists, but it is more valuable if we agree to share knowledge with relevant
stakeholder in the name of conserving nature.
To realize this MoU, efforts to share data and information especially in the biodiversity area should be
conducted openly, honestly and responsibly.
MoU scope
Agreed data to be shared together are:
 Data and information that is for public or open can be distributed through electronic media, internet and
print media.
 Data that is not for the public yet have to be agreed by relevant parties and the data must be able to be
used responsibly;
 For smooth exchange of information, there must be a person responsible for the data.
Data received from other parties can be used to obtain funding by stating the data source
