2 Indonesian Tropical Peatland matters Tropical peatlands are one of the largest near surface reserves of terrestrial organic carbon, and their stability therefore has important implications for climate change Indonesia has 15 to 20 million hectares of tropical peatland Between June and October 2015, 2.6 million hectares of land and forest burnt, 875 thousand hectares were on peatland. The World Bank estimates that the fires cost Indonesia at least IDR 221 trillion (USD 16.1 billion), equivalent to 1.9 % of 2015 GDP, constraining GDP growth in the third quarter was the fire and haze related losses in several provinces:

3 Peatland Restoration Agency Badan Restorasi Gambut (BRG) Established by President Joko Widodo on January The purpose of establishment is to accelerate restoration of the ecosystems and hydrology of degraded peatland and the prevention of fires on peatland, in specific, systematic, decisive/firm, integrated and comprehensive. The main task is coordinating and facilitating the restoration of peatlands in seven provinces of Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan and Papua. The target is to plan and implement the peatland restoration for a period of 5 (five) years for app. 2,000,000 (two million) hectares of degraded and burnt over peatland.

4 BRG s Missions Plan, design and carry out restoration of degraded peatland, while promoting their protection and wise management; Strengthen the technical and financial cooperation on peatland restoration; Coordinate and facilitate local governments, communities and other parties to carry out restoration of degraded peatland; Mobilizing public, private and people participation and partnership in the implementation of peatland restoration; Facilitating action research to support the sustainable management of peatland ecosystems.
