6 Conservation and Protection Since 2005, adopted assessment and setting aside areas of High Conservation Value Forests Working with Fauna & Flora International and The Nature Conservancy to implement eco-system restoration at Kampar Peninsula - 150,000 hectares under restoration Announced USD100 million investment for 10 years in conservation and restoration at UN climate meeting in Paris (COP21) 6 Eco-restoration

7 Landscape Approach and Protection The Kampar Peninsula is an example of the Landscape Approach in action: RER project identifies conservation and ecorestoration areas at the core of peninsula Uses plantations around outer areas to buffer and protect protection zone areas from encroachment Protection of protection zone areas is important to prevent degradation of land through illegal logging, unauthorized slash and burn farming and fires Collaboration with community partners, NGOs and local government 7

8 IS APRIL IMPLEMENTING REDD+? Yes through 1 to 1 commitment; HCV assessment; through reuse, recycle, and replenish our waste biofuel use; through ecosystem restoration. All of these are reducing emission, stopping deforestation, restoring degraded areas or avoid further degradation. Is APRIL implement MRV yes on trial for one rotation of plantation and the report has been submitted to the government. What is the role of APRIL on implementation of REDD+; we are leading in private initiative but not a DA REDD+ and also do not expect any REDD+ funds for the coming 10 years we are selffinancing. What we expect from government and other stakeholders is that the REDD+ should be driven nationally and REDD+ should be implemented in collaboration between CSO representing community; Government representing the people of Indonesia; and the Company representing business interests. 8
