EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

USAID BIJAK is a five-year (2016 – 2021) project designed to promote enduring changes in individual

and organizational behaviors that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve valuable marine and

terrestrial biodiversity in Indonesia. To accomplish this, BIJAK works at the national level, with a range

of stakeholders, to improve the management of forests and conservation areas, and strengthen

protections for marine and terrestrial wildlife threatened by illegal or unsustainable trade.

This Year 5 Work Plan summarizes the strategy, planned activities, and intended outcomes of the

USAID BIJAK project for the October 2020 – September 2021 fiscal year (FY 2021). BIJAK developed

the inputs for the plan in close consultation with project partners, including the Government of

Indonesia (GOI), and USAID through a series of meetings held in Jakarta in August 2020. The work plan

also reflects findings and recommendations from the Pause and Reflect workshops conducted in late

August 2020, which reviewed project achievements to date, as well as the current political economy for

BIJAK’s strategic approaches (SAs).

BIJAK’s work plan is designed and implemented in accordance with USAID’s Biodiversity Policy. BIJAK’s

final year work plan implements strategies and activities under two key technical themes: Technical

Theme I (TT1): Improving Management of Conservation Areas and Forests, focused on protecting forest

areas; and Technical Theme 2 (TT2): Increasing Protection of Key Species, focused on combating wildlife

trafficking. While many of the planned activities build on achievements of previous years, in Year 5 BIJAK

will work closely with counterparts and stakeholders to solidify project successes into sustainable long-

term impacts. In addition to achieving the targets set in the project’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

Plan, in Year 5 it will be critical to accurately communicate the project’s achievements and results to

audiences in USAID, the GOI, and stakeholders.

The Introduction provides an overview of the project’s Theory of Change, Year 4 key accomplishments,

and the approach to sustainability in Year 5. Details of Year 5 work plan activities are described under

each strategic approach, followed by the updated results chains. The narrative descriptions in SA

sections provide the rationale for the proposed activities and lists the collaborating institutions. Gantt

charts in Annex I present detailed activities for each SA, their timelines, milestones, and expected

outputs. Following the Technical Theme sections, the work plan describes BIJAK’s cross-cutting

components: Gender Integration; Special Activities Component; Activity Coordination, Communication,

and Documentation; Communications Strategy; and Monitoring and Evaluation.

Two overarching themes of the BIJAK Year 5 Work Plan are the increased application and learning

through pilot activities and ensuring the long-term sustainability of project interventions. In Year 5,

BIJAK will continue its collaboration with the United States Forest Service (USFS), and, as appropriate,

the USAID Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (SEA) project, which closes in spring 2021, and will apply

lessons learned from the recently ended USAID sustainable forest management (LESTARI) project to

BIJAK’s activities at the national level. In this final year, BIJAK will complete the work to support the

application of national policies and approaches developed earlier in the project, as well as complete

activities to pilot their effectiveness in the field with government institutions, technical experts, citizens,

and other stakeholders. BIJAK’s pilot activities have created real conservation impacts during the life of

the project. This will allow BIJAK to identify critical differences between planning and actual

implementation, as well as factors that constrain or facilitate implementation, to inform the GOI’s future

rollout of these approaches at the national level.

Sustainability is defined as the extent to which Indonesian stakeholders take active ownership of the

policy reforms, procedures, systems, and tools developed and promoted by BIJAK, and continue to use

them after the project is completed. BIJAK’s approach to sustainability in Year 5 depends on continued


capacity building of GOI counterparts and key stakeholders, and institutionalizing BIJAK work products

and approaches in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry’s (KLHK’s) training center, Pusdiklat. It also

depends on integrating BIJAK approaches into key planning documents, such as Directorate General of

Ecosystem and Natural Resources Conservation’s (KSDAE) Strategic Plan (Renstra), and into a series of

strategic communications, knowledge management, and learning events planned for key counterparts

and stakeholders.

Technical Theme I: Improving Management of Conservation Areas and

Forests

The work under TT1 contributes to reducing drivers of forest loss across Indonesia’s 554 conservation

areas, other forested land, and areas not officially classified as forested but that contain important forest

assets. BIJAK’s SAs focus on interventions to improve conservation area management, to enhance forest

governance, and to develop a range of management approaches for essential ecosystem areas (KEEs)

outside of conservation areas. Activities to build constituencies for conservation are implemented

across TTI and TT2.

BIJAK’s final year work plan continues many of the initiatives started in previous years. This will build on

the policies, guidelines, and plans that were drafted with BIJAK support to promote GOI ownership of

the approaches by working with government counterparts to pilot them in the field. Accomplishments

from Year 4 that inform this work plan include: the completed conservation area zoning and blocking,

analysis, and mapping; the enacted technical guidelines on conservation partnerships; the completion and

launch of the Management Information System (MIS) to inform data-driven decision-making at the site

and national levels; building the capacity of technical implementation unit (UPT) staff to assess

encroachments, select appropriate handling options, and to plan and implement encroachment and

tenurial handling; developing options for ecological fiscal transfers through existing transfer mechanisms;

the review and ranking of potential KEEs according to established criteria; and the three completed key

communications strategies for KSDAE to use traditional and new media to build constituencies for

conservation as well as to foster a sense of national pride and support for Indonesia’s national parks.

In Year 5, BIJAK will complete the pilot activities to demonstrate the use of conservation partnerships

to address tenurial conflict while engaging key stakeholders to monitor encroachments and the

encroachment handling progress. These activities will empower the UPTs to share the lessons learned

and discuss their experience with peers to encourage a sense of ownership and commitment to the

continued use of the approaches. At the conclusion of these pilot activities, BIJAK will help KLHK to

internalize the knowledge gained from the experience using participatory zoning to address conflicts in

conservation areas, as well as from the work to optimize the use of conservation data through KSDAE’s

Conservation Data Information System (SIDAK) database and executive dashboard (I-Stri) to inform

decision-making and case monitoring at the site and national levels.

During the Pause and Reflect workshop held in August 2020, the BIJAK team brainstormed

opportunities to build and strengthen constituencies for conservation across TT1 and TT2. BIJAK will

continue to provide technical assistance to support KSDAE to modernize communications by using new

media channels and developing innovative messaging. BIJAK will build the capacity of the Public Relations

Bureau of KLHK (Humas) to implement KSDAE’s media and social media engagement strategies to raise

awareness of conservation area and forest protection issues. Working with civil society organizations

(CSOs), BIJAK will mentor a coalition of CSOs to implement the Anak Muda Cinta Taman Nasional

(AMCTN)/Youth Love National Parks campaign to raise awareness of conservation issues among youth

and inspire a sense of pride and commitment to protect Indonesia’s national parks. If the social

restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic are eased before January 2021, BIJAK will support the

AMCTN by holding in-person events to increase the visibility and reach of the campaign. BIJAK will


work with national parks communications staffs to raise the profile of the key species, including

helmeted hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil), Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), and songbirds, to increase youth

awareness of the threats to these species, reduce demand for these species, and encourage youth to

advocate for improved conservation.

Final year activities in the area of strengthening forest management units (FMUs) to implement effective

multiple use forest management are to provide technical assistance to the National Development

Planning Agency (Bappenas) and KLHK for the completion and handover of the final FMU performance

criteria and indicators, as well as the FMU programming and budgeting guidelines.

Over the past year, BIJAK has researched the feasibility of using ecological fiscal transfers (EFT), which

involve the transfer of funds from the central government to the local government for ecological purposes,

as an option to provide sustainable financing for forest and conservation area management. In Year 5,

BIJAK will build on the recommendations for policy reform needed to use existing fiscal transfer

mechanisms, such as the Village Fund (DD), specific allocation fund (DAK), and Regional Incentive fund

(DID), and the proposed mathematical formulas to calculate the transfers that were developed in Year 4.

This work will enable government counterparts and stakeholders to advocate for the necessary policy

reform and interministerial cooperation needed to implement EFTs through these mechanisms. BIJAK will

work with provincial government leaders in two provinces to integrate EFTs with proposed environmental

indicators to fund improved forest and conservation area management into the 2021 budget planning

process.

BIJAK’s Year 5 activities to protect KEEs, including non-state forests, will focus on: 1) piloting the use of

Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis to inventory high conservation value areas outside of conservation areas;

2) finalizing the KEE regulation for enactment; 3) identifying incentive mechanisms for KEE protection; 4)

expanding KEE management pilot activities to three additional sites in East Java; and, 5) holding a learning

event to widely disseminate KEE management best practices and lessons learned.

Technical Theme 2: Increasing Protection of Key Species

Work under this theme supports the objective of conserving valuable biodiversity with a focus on

combating wildlife trafficking and unsustainable legal trade under two SAs. The first approach is to enhance

the legal and policy framework, including building the capacity of the government and others to address

illegal or unsustainable trade. The second approach includes activities to tackle wildlife crime and to

understand and reduce the demand for wildlife and wildlife products. BIJAK’s work to build vibrant and

active conservation constituencies is a crosscutting theme, with awareness-raising and advocacy activities

under TT2 related to the sustainable utilization and/or protection of key terrestrial and marine species,

including the helmeted hornbill, Sunda pangolin, songbirds, sharks, and rays.

Year 5 work is informed by accomplishments to date, which include: the implementation of the national

strategy and action plan for helmeted hornbill conservation; the establishment of catch quotas for silky

shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) informed by non-detriment findings (NDFs); delivered training and piloted

the use of guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to monitor the catch and trade of

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix II-

listed listed shark species; mentored the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) to develop a new NDF for

mako shark and an updated NDF for species in the hammerhead shark family (Sphyrnidae); conducted a

policy review of the Ministerial Decree the Administration Directive of Harvest or Capture and

Distribution of Specimens of Wild Plant and Animal Species (No. 447/2003), and made recommendations

to revise it; developed the Sunda pangolin Emergency Action Plan; worked with airport management

authority PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) airport management company to improve screening protocols, and

improved staff skills to detect and handle smuggled wildlife; held an exhibit to raise awareness of wildlife

trafficking at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport; developed guidelines and delivered training related to


protected species identification; and designed and implemented a targeted behavior change campaign to

shift consumer preferences from wild-caught to captive-bred songbirds in West Java.

In the final year, BIJAK will implement several activities that were planned for Year 4, but due to their

face-to-face nature, were postponed until Year 5. For terrestrial species, BIJAK will build the capacity of

officials from KLHK, Customs, Quarantine to identify illegally traded protected species by training them

to use the three volumes of protected species identification guidelines developed by the Directorate of

Biodiversity Conservation (KKH) with BIJAK support. A second terrestrial species carryover activity will

train government officials from KLHK and LIPI as well as participants from Indonesian universities and the

non-governmental organization (NGO) community on species population monitoring methods to support

management and quota-setting for regulated species. This training will include a field-based module during

which participants will carry out a data sharing exercise for Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) population

data. Carryover activities to support marine species conservation include NDF development and related

quota-setting for mako and hammerhead sharks, and the field assessment of the SOPs to monitor and

report silky shark landings, by Coastal and Marine Resource Management Office (BPSPL) staff.

BIJAK’s Year 5 activities are designed to enable the GOI to take ownership of the tools and approaches

developed with BIJAK, as well as to put into place an enabling environment so that KLHK and Ministry of

Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) will continue to support data driven species management and

conservation going forward. BIJAK will train the representatives from 6 additional BPSPL offices, port

officials and private sector shark traders to monitor and report silky shark landings so that all BPSPL staff

across Indonesia will have a common understanding of the SOPs so that they can be uniformly applied to

monitor protected shark and ray species. In order to ensure that new BPSPL staff are trained to the same

standard, BIJAK will adapt the training content to be delivered as an online course that will be integrated

by decree into Pusdiklat’s e-learning platform.

In Year 5, BIJAK will continue the behavior change communications campaign designed to shift consumer

preferences from wild-caught to captive-bred songbirds in West Java. Midline survey results will inform a

two-session webinar that BIJAK will present to an audience of USAID development practitioners and to

wider stakeholders in the Asia region in October. Campaign activities will continue through mid-

November and will conclude with an endline survey to measure reach and impacts. One of the key tasks

related to the sustainability of these efforts will be to identify a CSO partner, social media group or a key

opinion leader with an established website or YouTube channel that will be a “home” for campaign

materials and related information that songbird keepers can refer to after the campaign has ended. Related

to the songbird campaign, if the anticipated KSDAE regulation on songbird competitions is passed before

January 2021, BIJAK will work with social media and key opinion leader partners to widely disseminate

the regulation among songbird sector stakeholders, such as KKH and LIPI, songbird trendsetters, and

veterinarians to ensure understanding and promote compliance.


INTRODUCTION

Context

Indonesia’s forests and marine ecosystems are endowed with the greatest combined concentration of

marine and terrestrial biodiversity on earth. Exploitation of this natural endowment has abetted massive

land use change and has degraded valuable terrestrial and marine ecosystems and exacerbated

Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Healthy ecosystems provide clean air and water, sequester carbon

for climate regulation, pollinate crops for food, and provide economic livelihoods to millions. In addition

to the consequences of habitat loss, Indonesia continues to lose its rich endowment of biodiversity to

wildlife trafficking. Preserving natural habitats and biodiversity — essential to maintaining functional

ecosystems — serves as a critical driver of sustainable development.

Project Background

Launched in 2016, USAID Bangun Indonesia Untuk Jaga Alam Demi Keberlanjutan (BIJAK) brings to bear

leading technical expertise in the areas of forestry, conservation area management, and wildlife

protection to help inform and encourage Indonesian reform efforts that conserve valuable marine and

terrestrial biodiversity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To accomplish this, BIJAK works at the

national level, with a range of stakeholders, to improve the management of forests and conservation

areas and to strengthen protections for marine and terrestrial wildlife threatened by illegal or

unsustainable trade.

BIJAK facilitates collaboration between government and civil society to improve related laws,

regulations, and management tools and systems. In addition, BIJAK coordinates with partners in the field

— particularly USAID’s recently ended LESTARI project and the Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced

(SEA) project, which closes in Spring 2021— to amplify and scale up local-level approaches,

incorporating lessons learned for nationwide adoption. BIJAK also collaborates with these projects at

the site level as BIJAK’s national partners seek to pilot or implement national initiatives. BIJAK’s efforts

contribute to the following high-level results:

● Number of national-level laws, policies, regulations, decrees, procedures, or fiscal and budgetary

practices reformed, revised, adopted and/or applied with U.S. government (USG) assistance to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce wildlife trafficking, and conserve valuable terrestrial

and marine biodiversity.

● Improved capacity and willingness of Indonesian institutions and organizations to address

biodiversity conservation, especially wildlife trafficking, and climate change as a result of USG

assistance.

● Amount of investment leveraged in U.S. dollars from private and public sources for biodiversity

conservation and/or climate change as a result of USG assistance increased.

● Public opinion and behaviors changed as a result of advocacy campaigns developed and

implemented with USG assistance to support targeted terrestrial and marine biodiversity

conservation and low carbon development issues.

● Model(s) for successful low emissions development and forest conservation developed and

shared with USG assistance at all levels of government and with other key stakeholders.

BIJAK’s work supports the Government of Indonesia’s (GOI’s) commitment to achieve Sustainable

Development Goal 15: Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems,


sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt

biodiversity loss.

BIJAK is implemented by prime contractor Chemonics International, in partnership with the Wildlife

Conservation Society (WCS) and the Partnership for Governance Reform (Kemitraan).

International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)

● Increase commitment to tackling wildlife crime and reduce domestic demand for wildlife and

their products

Summary of BIJAK’s Year 4 Accomplishments

• Working with Directorate General of Ecosystem and Natural Resources Conservation

(KSDAE), BIJAK technical assistance resulted in the completion of 246 blocking maps approved

by KSDAE for integration into One Map. Zoning and blocking and the resulting geospatially

referenced maps of conservation areas are foundational for effective management at the national

and site levels.

• BIJAK, as a member of KSDAE’s multi-stakeholder task force on tenurial conflict and

encroachment resolution, developed indicative encroachment maps for 173 conservation areas.


• BIJAK and the Directorate of Conservation Areas (KK) trained 52 persons representing 25

Technical Implementation Units (UPTs) and nine great forest parks (known as Tahura, a type of

conservation area) on tenurial conflict handling.

• BIJAK, KSDAE, and UPT staff from six conservation areas designed a new page (called a

“sidebar”) to display data on encroachment and tenurial conflict handling data on the I-Stri

executive dashboard, as part of the KSDAE’s integrated site-to-national-level Management

Information System (MIS).

• BIJAK finalized encroachment handling technical guidelines for managers to respond to and

resolve encroachments according to typology.

• BIJAK presented recommendations to DG KSDAE, Director KK, and Director Directorate of

Ecosystem Services on Conservation Areas (PJLHK) to help KSDAE and the national parks

overcome the challenges in applying for Public Services Agency (BLU) status.

• BIJAK worked with the Directorate of Management of Essential Ecosystems (BPEE) and

Tropenbos Indonesia, a Jakarta-based non-governmental organization (NGO), to review

indicative KEE areas and rank them according to the sensitivity and severity of threats, and

identified eight priority areas that will be designated as KEEs in 2020-2021.

• BIJAK completed a policy paper recommending new ecological, environmental, and biodiversity

indicators to be applied to existing fiscal transfer mechanisms, so that they may be used for

ecological fiscal transfers (EFTs).

• BIJAK began to pilot conservation partnerships in Meru Betiri, Gunung Rinjani, and Bukit Baka

Bukit Raya National Parks under a grant to Lembaga Alam Tropika Indonesia (LATIN).

• BIJAK awarded a grant to local NGO Volunteer Alliance for Saving Nature (ARuPA), a

Yogyakarta based NGO, to strengthen the multi-stakeholder KEE management forum in Teluk

Pangpang, Banyuwangi, East Java.

• KLHK’s Training and Education Center (Pusdiklat) enacted a decree to formally integrate the

training developed by KSDAE and BIJAK on how to implement the ministry’s communications

strategy into its catalogue of training resources.

• BIJAK worked with KSDAE’s Secretariat of the Directorate General (Setditjen) to publish 54

national parks websites. The national parks websites are the main channel for park managers to

engage and build constituencies to support wildlife protection and essential ecosystem

preservation.

• KLHK, with technical assistance from BIJAK, drafted the first Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for

Sunda pangolin, outlining actions to dismantle illegal pangolin trade networks in Indonesia and

deter the actors involved in illegal trade.

• BIJAK reviewed Minister of Forestry regulation (Kepmenhut) No. 447/2003 and presented

recommendations on captive breeding, population monitoring and quota-setting to revise the

regulation.

• BIJAK trained 61 aviation security (Avsec) staff from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and

Halim Perdanakusuma Airport on how to detect, identify, and handle protected wildlife and

wildlife parts/products trafficked through airports.

• Pusdiklat formally integrated the protected species identification curriculum developed by BIJAK

and KLHK into its catalogue of training resources, by government decree.

• BIJAK and Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) trained 48 Coastal and Marine


Resources Management Offices (BPSPL) staff and private sector shark traders on how to

monitor and report silky shark landings in Tanjung Luar, West Nusa Tenggara, and how to

record data on the catch and trade of sharks and shark products from the port.

• BIJAK held a two-week photo exhibit, an interactive wildlife trafficking display and the screening

of two short videos on wildlife trafficking in the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Terminal

3 departure hall. More than 4,800 visitors are estimated to have viewed the exhibition, and 915

visitors were recorded as having had significant engagement with the exhibition.

• BIJAK mentored seven Indonesian civil society organizations (CSOs) and four universities from

Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java to design and execute a collaborative social media campaign to

raise awareness of helmeted hornbill conservation.

• BIJAK designed and launched a behavior change communications (BCC) campaign to shift

consumer preferences from wild-caught to captive-bred songbirds. The campaign, which kicked

off with a baseline survey of 1,055 songbird keepers on Facebook, had already reached 818,172

social media users with creative messaging and interactive online events by August 20, 2020.

Year 5 Approach to Sustainability

In the final year of implementation, BIJAK will continue to regularly engage with key government

counterparts to provide updates on the status of BIJAK activities. BIJAK will continue to build long-term

sustainability into project activities, through capacity building, mentoring, working with the GOI to

formalize guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) by decree, integrating technical

approaches into strategic planning documents, and institutionalizing training modules by integrating them

into the Pusdiklat system. Throughout Year 5, BIJAK will maintain close contact with counterparts to

ensure their buy-in and eventual ownership of project-supported approaches, as BIJAK grants and other

direct technical activities are phased out in the second quarter of the year.

In addition to the person-to-person coordination to support sustainability, the project will organize a

series of learning workshops for government, CSOs, NGOs, and other sector stakeholders in Jakarta

and in each of the areas where technical approaches were piloted. For example, the learning workshop

for improved KEE management will be held in Surabaya, East Java, bringing together stakeholders from

BPEE, LATIN, and the pilot sites where BIJAK has worked in Teluk Pangpang, Kili-kili in Trenggalek,

Masakambing in Sumenep, and Ujung Pangkah in Gresik. The learning workshop for non-detriment

finding (NDF) development and shark catch monitoring will be in Tanjung Luar, where Coastal and

Marine Resources Management Offices (BPSPL) staff use the SOPs and guidelines developed by BIJAK in

their day-to-day work with fisherfolk, processors, buyers, and exporters. If in-person events are not

feasible, due to ongoing social distancing and travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the

events will be held online through Zoom (the GOI’s preferred platform for teleconferencing) or through

another online platform. BIJAK will hold a final closeout event for the project to share final results with

stakeholders, partners, and counterparts. The closeout event will be an in-person event, if possible: if

not, it will be held as a virtual event. All of these events will highlight next steps, provide an opportunity

to discuss and understand lessons learned, and identify next steps and champions who will commit to

applying them in other areas, to ensure the reach and sustainability of the approaches beyond the end of

the BIJAK contract.

In its final year, BIJAK will continue to capture and report program technical activities, results, and

achievements in regular quarterly reports, quarterly BIJAK Bulletins, and in the final report. In addition

to this, the BIJAK communications team will publish technical briefs to present lessons learned for key

topics so that BIJAK-supported approaches, tools, and methodologies are accessible for reference by

stakeholders after the project has closed. BIJAK will work with partners to identify appropriate

government and global websites, such as Climate Links, Biodiversity Conservation Gateway, and Natural


Resources Management and Development Portal, where BIJAK knowledge products can be posted for

future access, as well as uploaded to USAID’s Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC).

BIJAK will increase communications to BIJAK staff, counterparts, and stakeholders to ensure they are

aware of the project’s upcoming end date. Grants, subcontracts, and directly implemented activities will

be phased out according to the schedule in this work plan, with most technical activities finishing by

April 2021. The operational closeout and phasing down of staffing will be carried out according to the

approved demobilization plan, which, according to BIJAK contract deliverable F.5.12 – Demobilization

Plan, will be submitted to USAID by December 7, 2020, six months prior to the BIJAK contract

completion date.


BIJAK TECHNICAL THEMES — YEAR 5 ACTIVITIES

Technical Theme 1: Improving Management of Conservation Areas

and Forests

1.1 IMPROVING MANAGEMENT OF CONSERVATION AREAS

Indonesia’s network of 552 conservation areas covers a combined 27.12 million hectares and serves an

essential role in protecting Indonesia’s remaining High Conservation Value (HCV) areas. In Year 4, BIJAK

began making progress to improve the regulatory framework by demonstrating field-level adoption of

conservation management systems and approaches developed by the project. BIJAK’s support to KSDAE’s

tenurial conflict handling is the Strategic Approach (SA) under TT I (SA 1.1.2) that is most directly related

to the reduction of threats to biodiversity in conservation areas. It should therefore be seen as the

umbrella for piloting SAs in selected conservation areas.

Among the tenurial conflict handling options are conservation partnerships and rezoning. Integrating

BIJAK’s support to conservation partnership and participatory rezoning in tenurial conflict handling will

allow for their targeted application to address tenurial conflict. It will be integrated into strengthening

data-driven management at the site level and data links from conservation areas to central decision-

makers. Improving conservation area management will be supported by building constituencies for

conservation.

In Year 5, Indonesia still faces serious threats, from tenurial conflict to managing its conservation areas

and biodiversity; however, there is an opportunity to leverage the advances that BIJAK has made

improving the regulatory framework, as well as the investments in data management systems and tools

to see impact at the site level.

Strategic Approach 1.1.1: Strengthen conservation area management frameworks and

systems

In Year 5, BIJAK will continue work with KSDAE to promote field-level adoption of conservation

management systems and approaches developed with project support in previous years. Throughout this

work, the project will promote a co-management approach, building on the progress and lessons learned

from the recently ended USAID LESTARI’s site-level work in partnership with KSDAE over the past five

years.

BIJAK supports several mutually reinforcing activity areas to strengthen protection of conservation areas:

resolving encroachments and tenurial conflicts through conservation partnerships, participatory zoning

and blocking, and improving conservation area and Tahura management through the KSDAE MIS. In Year

4, BIJAK began piloting conservation partnerships and rezoning as two encroachment handling options,

under SA 1.1.1, with data-driven decision-making as a crosscutting theme. In Year 5, BIJAK will conclude

the pilot activities with KSDAE on encroachment and tenurial conflict handling, and will hold learning

events so that the best practices and lessons learned at the five pilot sites can inform KSDAE’s work

across Indonesia.

Strengthen protection of conservation areas by resolving tenurial conflict through conservation

partnerships

In Year 4, BIJAK worked with KSDAE and CSO partner LATIN to pilot the conservation partnership

approach in Gunung Rinjani National Park (West Nusa Tenggara), Meru Betiri National Park (East Java),

and Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (Central/West Kalimantan). Early grant activities included

mentoring the UPTs at each site to create encroachment/tenurial conflict assessment reports and


identifying which handling option would be appropriate according to the typology of the conflict. The

UPTs and BIJAK found that the encroachments in Meru Betiri and Gunung Rinjani National Parks can be

addressed by conservation partnerships.

In Bukit Baka Bukit Raya (BBBR) National Park, where the main tenurial conflict is related to illegal small-

scale gold mining, the UPT decided to pursue law enforcement as the most appropriate encroachment

handling action. The UPT also identified an opportunity to develop community empowerment activities in

the park’s buffer zone where community members who choose to give up illegal gold mining could engage

in natural honey harvesting and ecotourism as a way to earn alternative incomes. Instead of piloting

conservation partnerships in BBBR National Park, BIJAK will monitor the progress of law enforcement

actions by tracking the number of specific law enforcement actions undertaken by the UPT, as well as

their outcomes. In addition, BIJAK will monitor the results of the UPT’s economic empowerment actions

by tracking the number of households that give up illegal gold mining to participate in the empowerment

program, and working with the UPTs to estimate the income generated by the economic empowerment

program. BIJAK will work closely with the UPT to draft a BIJAK Bulletin feature story that highlights these

results, captures the opportunity costs of participating in honey collection and ecotourism, and reviews

the anticipated long-term economic and ecological benefits of pursuing law enforcement and economic

empowerment in this case.

In Year 5, BIJAK and LATIN will continue pilot activities in Gunung Rinjani and Meru Betiri National Park

by signing and implementing conservation partnerships in each national park. In both national parks, the

conservation partnerships will include joint work planning activity between the communities and UPTs to

agree on how many hectares of encroached national park land will be replanted with local varieties of

forest trees for reforestation and tree species with economic value that will eventually be sold by the

communities to generate income.

Conservation partnership pilots will be expanded to two new sites identified in cooperation with KSDAE:

Kateri Wildlife Sanctuary (SM) — Natural Resources Conservation Office (BKSDA) East Nusa Tenggara

Province (NTT), and in the Tondong Tallasa Resort of Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park, South

Sulawesi Province.

In BBBR National Park, BIJAK, LATIN, and the UPT will monitor the progress of law enforcement actions

and the development of economic empowerment activities (honey harvesting and ecotourism) in the

park’s buffer zones to reduce tenurial conflict.

In February 2021, BIJAK will hold a national learning event for KSDAE and the UPTs to review the lessons

learned from the progress of these conservation partnership and law enforcement/community

empowerment approaches in resolving encroachments.

BIJAK estimates that under the four conservation partnerships, the UPTs will bring 453 hectares under

improved management,1 tracking the activities carried out to restore degraded landed and the total area

of degraded land replanted with forest species under the conservation partnerships, as practical indicators

that will be measurable within the remaining months of the BIJAK contract. BIJAK recognizes that

reforestation is a slow process and improvements in tree cover cannot be measured before June 2021

when the BIJAK project ends. Participating communities will reap tangible economic benefits from having

legal access to non-timber forest and agroforestry products, while at the same time the UPTs will benefit

1 50 hectares in Meru Betiri NP, 50 hectares in Rinjani NP, 100 hectares in Kateri Wildlife Sanctuary, 53 hectares in

Bantimurung Bulusaraung NP, and 190 hectares in BBBR NP. The potential protected area is assumed to be twice

the conservation partnership area, based on the ability of participating communities to work with the UPTs to patrol

and protect the areas.


from reduced conflict with the communities, reduced threats to the conservation area, and community

participation in co-management of a total area of 900 hectares.

BIJAK and KSDAE will use the results from these pilots to improve the tenurial conflict guidelines and will

provide compelling evidence to UPTs across Indonesia that conservation partnerships and legal

enforcement coupled with economic empowerment are viable options for resolving tenurial conflicts.

These successes will be used by KK and the UPTs to justify budget requests to meet annual encroachment

handling targets. These achievements will directly contribute to KSDAE’s 2020 – 2024 Strategic Plan

(Renstra) target of reducing conflicts and improving management on 400,000 hectares.

Improving zoning and blocking with a participatory approach

Since the beginning of the project, BIJAK has provided technical assistance to the Directorate of Nature

Conservation Planning and Information (PIKA) to improve zoning and blocking as a foundational element

of conservation area management. BIJAK’s support has included assisting PIKA to complete zoning and

blocking for conservation areas across Indonesia and providing formal training to transfer digital mapping

skills and on-the-job mentoring to PIKA and other KSDAE staff.

While participatory zoning and blocking has been embraced by PIKA and KSDAE as an SA to improving

conservation area management, on-the-ground implementation of the related decree2 has been hampered

by the lack of clear, practical guidelines for the UPTs to follow to ensure the substantive participation of

local populations. As a result, implementation has been uneven and ad hoc.

In order to demonstrate that participatory zoning and blocking is feasible, in Year 4 BIJAK began to pilot

participatory rezoning with LATIN as an option to address tenurial conflict handling (SA 1.1.1) and

encroachment. Field activities carried out in September 2020 included working with the UPT in Sebangau

NP’s Habaring Hurung Resort (National Park Management Section/SPTN Region I of Palangkaraya) to

assess and verify several ongoing conflicts, and identifying a 490 -hectare area that is currently zoned as a

special zone, that will be rezoned with the participation

of communities from Hambaring Hurung Village. UPT

manager and Hambaring Hurung communities agreed

with the recommendation for rezoning the special zone

as a traditional zone.

In Year 5, BIJAK and LATIN will work closely with the

UPT and members of the Hambaring Hurung

community to verify the areas claimed by the

community, identify the land cover and ecologically

sensitive areas and areas of high biodiversity, and create

a mutually acceptable indicative rezoning map that

reflects both community and conservation area

management interests. When the proposed rezoning

has been agreed upon, BIJAK, LATIN, the UPT, and the

Hambaring Hurung community will convene a public

consultation to present it to stakeholders, PIKA, and

KSDAE for review and endorsement.

In order to ensure that the lessons learned from

participatory zoning and blocking in Sebangau NP are

captured and used to promote the participatory zoning and blocking approach nationally, BIJAK will

develop practical, field-based step-by-step guidelines for UPTs to carry out participatory zoning and

blocking. In consultation with KSDAE to develop this work plan, KSDAE was supportive of this activity,

proposing to work with BIJAK to collect recent zoning and blocking experiences in Bukit Duabelas

National Park in Jambi, and Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi, to add to the guidelines. The

guidelines, which will be launched at a learning event, will ensure that UPTs can include the approach in

their rezoning planning and in their annual work plans, and can be supported by their annual budgets.

The immediate impact of the pilot activities to improve zoning and blocking with a participatory approach is

that the flora, fauna, and ecosystems in 315 hectares of Sebangau National Park will be protected

through participatory rezoning.3 The longer-term impact is that the UPTs will have practical guidelines

that PIKA will use to guide participatory rezoning in conservation areas as mandated by Ministerial

Decree P.76/Menlhk-Setjen/2015.

Strengthen data-driven management at the site level and data links from conservation areas to

central decision-makers

Over the past three years, BIJAK has worked to improve the use of data for conservation management

decision-making from the resort level up to the central level at KSDAE. The Conservation Data

Information System (SIDAK) was developed with the goal of aggregating quality, timely data to inform

conservation management decisions, helping managers to understand forest conditions and conservation

threats at local, regional, and national levels.

In Year 4, BIJAK and KSDAE convened UPTs from six conservation areas to identify the data fields that

would make SIDAK’s I-Stri dashboard useful for conservation area managers at the site level. Participants

identified data related to the current status of encroachments and tenurial conflicts; data to monitor the

progress and impacts of tenurial conflict handling (including conservation partnerships and participatory

rezoning); and data to map the threats to conservation areas, as the most important to their work. The

need for threat mapping in conservation areas was of particular interest to the UPTs. While most UPTs

already monitor threat data at the field level, currently there is no established mechanism for them to

share the information with national-level managers at PIKA. Using this information, BIJAK worked with

PIKA’s office of Data and Information (Datin) to design a new data visualization page (sidebar) for I-Stri to

meet these needs.

In Year 5, BIJAK will work with LATIN to test the use of the new sidebar and its data content and

processes at the six pilot sites described above, and with WCS to test it at up to 10 additional

conservation area sites (potentially in Sulawesi). The pilots will validate usefulness of the sidebar data

elements for Datin and UPTs; assess effectiveness of data collection, transfer, analysis, and use for

management at site and national levels; define the best tools for data collection and handling, including

Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) and technology, such as tablets and smart phones; and

define any additional technical assistance, technology, or other resource needs. The data collected

during pilots will serve as a baseline for tracking how different threat handling options are deployed, as

well as to measure their success.

This exercise will immediately increase the flow of data and communications between national and site-

level managers on specific conservation issues/threats prioritized by each UPT. The increased supply of

data from the site level will strengthen the SIDAK database, making it more robust and useful for

conservation management. At the site level, the UPT managers will use the data to analyze threats and

make day-to-day decisions under their authority. At the same time, national-level managers will be able

to use the sidebar to monitor the progress of activities at the site level.

After three months of use, BIJAK will feature lessons learned from piloting improved data collection and

entry through SIDAK/I-Stri for conservation area management during the UPT learning event mentioned

above, which will take place in February 2021. This will support PIKA’s national rollout of the system to

the UPTs that are already required to use it, according to Directorate General (DG) Regulation No.

Strategic Approach 1.1.2: Reinforce management capacity, collaboration, and coordination

to reduce conservation area encroachment

Over the past year, BIJAK worked closely with PIKA to finalize a methodology for analyzing satellite

imagery data to create detailed maps of tenurial conflict inside conservation areas. As a result, PIKA used

geographic information system (GIS) analysis to identify 1.8 million hectares of potential encroached land

in Indonesia’s conservation areas. At the same time, BIJAK and KK developed technical guidelines for

conservation area managers to groundtruth indicative encroachments identified through spatial analysis

and classify them according to standard typologies in order to respond to and resolve them.

Building on this progress in Year 5, BIJAK will a) conclude support for KSDAE’s Renstra 2020 – 2024

development, b) formalize training on spatial data analysis methodology to identify encroachments and

train UPTs, c) formalize the encroachment handling curriculum and personnel competency and use it to

train 36 UPTs, and d) pilot encroachment handling.

a. Renstra support. BIJAK will carry over activities from Year 4 to provide technical assistance

to integrate tenurial conflict handling as a priority in KSDAE’s Renstra for 2020 – 2024, adding

the target of resolving 56,000 hectares of tenurial conflict in the next five years to the Renstra.

BIJAK will also work with KSDAE to develop a new section explaining how KK’s conservation

area programming will be “mainstreamed” or integrated with provincial-, district-, and village-

level planning.

b. Build capacity for spatial data analysis for encroachment handling. In Year 5, BIJAK

and PIKA will hold a series of focus group discussions (FGDs) with Sub-Directorate of Natural

Conservation for Inventory and Information (IIKA) and consultation meetings with the KSDAE

Sub-Directorate of Law and Technical Cooperation (HKT) to draft a PIKA decree to formalize

the GIS data analysis methodology and the guidelines to groundtruth/validate indicative

encroachments. The enactment of this decree, expected during Quarter 2, will provide the

regulatory framework for BIJAK and PIKA to deliver a training to UPTs before March 2021 to

ensure that GIS encroachment analysis and groundtruthing methodologies are understood and

implemented. After the UPTs are trained, PIKA and BIJAK will review and revise the indicative

encroachment map to produce the definitive encroachment map for KLHK internal use.

c. Formalize encroachment handling curriculum and personnel competency. Building

on BIJAK’s Year 4 work with KSDAE and Pusdiklat KLHK to build capacity for UPTs to evaluate

and handle encroachments on the ground, in Year 5 BIJAK will work with Pusdiklat, KK, and the

KSDAE Setditjen General to draft a decree to integrate the training curriculum into the

Pusdiklat training catalogue. Related to this, BIJAK will work with KK to draft and enact a

decree to create a new personnel standard competency for UPT staff, especially for forest

rangers and technical officers, on the skills covered by the training curriculum. When both

decrees are enacted, KK will be able to include the training in annual work planning and budget

allocation requests.

When the decrees for the encroachment handling training and the personnel standard

competency have been enacted, BIJAK and KK will train representatives of 36 UPTs from Bali-

Nusa Tenggara/Central, and Sulawesi-Maluku-Papua/East regions. Currently, BIJAK and KK are

not planning to train any KK staff that would require Leahy vetting. If such training candidates

are identified, then BIJAK will request Leahy vetting, taking into account that the process may

take up to two months. Following the training, each UPT will apply their new skills to write

action plans detailing their plans to handle tenurial conflicts/encroachments to help KSDAE

achieve their target of 56,000 hectares encroachment/tenurial conflict handled by 2024.

d. Pilot encroachment handling. See SA 1.1.1 above.

Strategic Approach 1.1.3: Build and strengthen constituencies for conservation

Indonesia is uniquely endowed with biological diversity and unique ecosystems. Visitors from across the

world flock to the country to see its charismatic species — such as orangutans, Sumatran tigers,

Komodo dragons, whale sharks, sea turtles, and manta rays. The country’s system of national parks was

created in 1980 to protect the fragile ecosystems as well as Indonesia’s iconic species. Today there are

54 national parks across the archipelago, six of which are United Nations Educational, Scientific and

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites.

In order for the GOI to build strong constituencies for conservation, they must actively engage the

general public so that they understand the benefits from the conservation of natural resources, are

willing to advocate for conservation, and are willing to overcome the knowledge/action gap by taking

personal action. BIJAK has worked to build sustainable constituencies for conservation through a dual

approach: first, improving the GOI’s ability to effectively communicate about its conservation goals

through traditional and new media; and second, working to catalyze a new coalition of Indonesian CSOs

to build public support for the protection of Indonesia’s biodiversity and natural resources. A specific

target group for the work is Indonesia’s youth. A 2017 public opinion survey by BIJAK showed that

while Indonesian youth are knowledgeable about environmental issues in general, they are not very

familiar with Indonesia’s system of national parks and conservation areas, nor have they visited the parks

near them to learn more about the most urgent threats to their biodiversity and ecosystem services.

In Year 5, BIJAK will build on progress made over the last four years to increase the capacity of Humas

to strategically use social media and mass media to disseminate effective messaging to build public

support for biodiversity and natural resource conservation. In the first quarter, BIJAK and Humas will

convene technical meetings to draft and finalize the regulation that will require KLHK staff to implement

the Social Media Strategy and the Media Engagement Strategy developed with BIJAK support last year.

The project will hold a workshop to disseminate the strategies, when they are formalized by decree, to

KLHK's official spokespersons. To build capacity needed to implement the strategies, BIJAK will lead a

series of training-of-trainer workshops for official KLHK spokespersons working at the national level and

key officers of the Documentation Management Office of KHLK (PPID) working in the UPTs to transfer

practical approaches for implementing these strategies to the more than 200 public relations staff

working across Indonesia.

The trained PPID staff will be able to carry out digital advocacy using a recognizable brand with

consistent messaging, tailored to the specialized needs of each national park and conservation area. In

order to ensure that the training has a lasting impact, BIJAK and PJLHK will provide follow-up mentoring

to selected UPTs, helping them build relationships with journalists and national social media influencers

who will amplify the UPT’s digital advocacy efforts through their own established networks. BIJAK will

work with PJLHK to monitor the progress and achievements of individual UPT communications

programs over five months, giving public recognition to high achieving PPIDs that develop successful and

innovative campaigns. BIJAK will document the UPT’s improvement of monitoring and mentoring to

demonstrate the value of their communications achievements and accomplishments. If Covid-19 social

distancing requirements are eased, BIJAK will connect national park UPT staff directly to journalists and

social media influencers by sponsoring a series of visits to selected national parks to learn about the

parks and meet UPT public relations staff. Connecting UPT staff with journalists will create

opportunities for them to amplify national park messaging to young Indonesians. As part of BIJAK’s

ongoing monitoring activities, project staff regularly review the websites of news outlets to identify

stories featuring BIJAK or BIJAK-supported partners’ sustainable landscapes and conservation messages

in order to report on BIJAK’s Custom Indicator 15. BIJAK will track the number of stories published by

journalists and social media influencers on the national parks, as well as disseminate the stories through

BIJAK’s website and the project’s social media accounts.


BIJAK will provide support to a new coalition of Indonesian CSOs catalyzed late in Year 4 to implement

the Anak Muda Cinta Taman Nasional (AMCTN)/Youth Love National Parks campaign. This campaign

will serve as the long-term support system for the CSOs to connect with and inspire Indonesian youth

to become national park visitors, supporters, and advocates. During the early coalition building phase at

the end of Year 4, BIJAK focused on identifying and grooming a core team of CSOs willing to

collaborate over a 12-month period to implement the AMCTN campaign. The coalition-building process

and the campaign strategy designed in August 2020 were both designed based on the concept that BIJAK

would provide ongoing mentoring and activity support through the early months of the campaign, and

that this direct assistance would will be gradually phased out by March 2021. The AMCTN campaign was

purposefully designed to end in September 2021 so that coalition members would plan and commit to

implementing activities on their own after BIJAK support ends. The training and mentoring provided by

BIJAK, as well as the successes garnered in the first eight months of the campaign, will provide coalition

members with skills, campaign strategy and implementation experience, and positive working

relationships with like-minded, committed CSO that will enable them to plan and co-implement future

campaigns.

The owners and implementers of the AMCTN campaign will conduct digital advocacy through social

media, including websites, blogs, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email, and texts to contact, inform, and

mobilize young people in Indonesia around the issues of conservation and biodiversity protection with

the goal of galvanizing them to take action to support the national parks. The advantages of using social

media include the deep penetration of the Internet and social media across Indonesia, low or no cost

set-up, potentially wide reach, instantaneous message-sharing, and opportunities to use social listening to

monitor the campaign’s progress.

BIJAK will lead the coalition of CSOs to design and test core AMCTN campaign messages. The coalition

will organize FGDs with Indonesians, ages 18 to 25, to ensure that the messaging concepts will resonate

well with the target audience. AMCTN coalition members and BIJAK will use the core message

concepts to create and produce campaign materials, including videos, posters, website landing pages,

public service announcement storyboards, and short animated clips. BIJAK’s gender specialist will

provide guidance to all coalition members during the materials production stage to ensure that women

are appropriately represented in the materials, that negative gender stereotypes are not promoted, and

that both men and women are portrayed as equal, competent participants in the campaign. The USAID-

branded materials will be produced and disseminated by coalition members through social media

channels and other potential platforms according to the campaign strategy. These may include videos,

webinars, podcasts or YouTube series with key opinion leaders, and public service announcement videos

screened at cinemas or broadcast on public videotrons. Since the AMCTN is designed to be a highly

interactive campaign, it will provide opportunities for young Indonesians to share their own photos,

videos, and personal stories about their experiences in the national parks to inspire others to visit, care

for, and advocate for the national parks. If Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are eased in the near future,

BIJAK will publicize the campaign and help connect it to the target audience through live events in

Jakarta. If they are not eased, then BIJAK will develop online activities to promote the campaign. BIJAK

will monitor conditions in Jakarta to identify if and when the campaign will be able to move forward with

live events.

To understand the impact of the AMCTN campaign, BIJAK will train coalition members to use social

listening to review the overall social landscape before the campaign begins as a baseline against which to

measure its impact. Social listening has proven to be an effective way to understand what a target

audience cares about and for detecting trends in online discussions. Social listening will provide BIJAK

and the coalition members with feedback on the reach and impacts of the campaign, specifically on (1)

social sentiment (positive vs negative) toward conservation and national parks issues; (2) the hashtags,

topics, channels, and keywords related to the national parks that are preferred by youth; and (3)


differences in how subgroups of the target audience respond to specific messaging. BIJAK will track

increases in the constituency for conservation for the national parks using social media analytics

software to monitor social media engagement and the use of the official campaign hashtag

#KawanTaman (Friends of the Parks), and will report on this in FY2021 bullets and reports.

Additional targeted conservation constituency building activities aimed at changing consumer behavior of

songbird keepers and raising awareness raising for helmeted hornbill conservation are detailed in the TT2

section of this work plan.

1.2 IMPROVING MANAGEMENT OF FORESTS

Strategic Approach 1.2.1: Strengthen FMUs to implement effective multiple use forest

management

In Year 3 of the project, BIJAK evaluated the government’s investments in FMUs, finding that the presence

of FMUs has had significant positive, measurable impacts on reducing the number of forest fire hotspots.

At the same time, the data showed that FMUs have not had a significant impact on increasing forest cover.

Following this analysis, in Year 4, BIJAK developed draft performance criteria and indicators intended to

help FMU managers measure the degree to which they are successful in achieving the desired forest

function outcomes for each type of forest. Related to this effort, BIJAK worked with National

Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) to develop draft FMU programming and budgeting guidelines.

By the end of Year 4, the political economy for strengthening FMUs to implement effective multiple use

forest management had changed. The GOI decided to merge the production and protection FMU types

so that the management of the forest production and forest protection will now be under one FMU

Directorate, known as Directorate KPH under DG Sustainable Forest Management. This change is widely

regarded as a positive one, expected to have significant positive impacts on forest management in

Indonesia. The merging of the two types of FMUs will be formalized by Ministerial decree to ensure

sustainability and buy-in from FMU staff at the site level.

BIJAK’s Year 5 support to improve FMU management will focus on the following key activities to ensure

the institutionalization and long-term sustainability of the FMU approach within the planning bureau of

KLHK (Birocan).

Performance criteria and indicators

• BIJAK will work with Birocan, KPH, specific purpose forests (KHDTK), KLHK’s Environmental

and Forestry Research, Development and Innovation Agency (Litbang) and the Directorate of

Forestry and Water Resources Conservation-Bappenas (KKSDA-Bappenas) to pilot the

performance criteria and indicators at KPH Wilayah V Gayolues and KPH Yogyakarta. BIJAK will

work directly at the sites, meeting with each FMU and provincial forestry agency over the

course of a week to ensure that they understand how to apply the FMU performance criteria

and indicators, as FMU management will be under the authority of the provincial forestry

agency. BIJAK will review the evidence provided by each FMU to document the achievement of

each indicator and will visit the field in the FMU area to verify the evidence at the ground level.

• BIJAK will work with Birocan to use the results of the FMU performance criteria and indicator

pilot activities to finalize them and then draft a new Ministerial regulation to formalize them.

When the regulation is enacted, all FMUs in Indonesia will be required to apply them at the site

level. The annual performance results from each year will serve as the basis for FMUs to

develop results-oriented annual work plans and request the resources they need to improve

forest management.

• Once the FMU performance criteria and indicators are finalized, they will be used to finalize the

FMU programming and budgeting guidelines.

Programming and budgeting guidelines

• When the final FMU programing and budgeting guidelines are received by Bappenas in

December 2020, BIJAK will convene a workshop to disseminate them to the FMUs and relevant

stakeholders including United States Forest Service (USFS), Fauna and Flora International, WCS,

German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ), World Bank-Forest Investment


Program (FIP), Bappenas, KLHK, the FMU association (representing FMUs), the provincial

forestry agencies (representing provincial government), and CSOs supported by the recently

ended LESTARI project, including the Institute for Promoting Sustainable Livelihood Approach

(InproSula), the Java Learning Center (Javlec), and Forum Konservasi Leuser.

Figure 5. Results chain for SA 1.2.1 Strengthen FMUs to implement effective multiple use forest management


Strategic Approach 1.2.2: Expanding the use of innovative funding and financing strategies

to incentivize forest conservation and sustainable forest management

In Year 4, BIJAK completed the policy paper proposing fiscal transfers through Regional Incentive Fund

(DID), Specific Allocation Fund (DAK), and Village Fund (DD) as viable options for financing

conservation management at the site level. The paper, entitled “Designing Ecological Fiscal Transfers in

Indonesia using DID, DAK and DD,” proposes ecology-based indicators and provides mathematical

formulas to calculate the fiscal transfers to be used for biodiversity and forest conservation.

The policy paper explains how EFTs, through the DID mechanism, can be used to incentivize local

governments to carry out biodiversity conservation and environmental protection. EFTs made through

the DID option would be made according to performance measured by the environmental quality index

and the greenhouse gas emissions index. It then explains how EFTs can be made using the DAK

mechanism, based on forest management criteria, such as empowerment of forest farmer groups,

operationalization of FMUs, restoring degraded land, supporting conservation of forests under

management of local governments (known as Grand Forest Park or Tahura Hutan Raya), and urban

forest management. Finally, it explains how EFTs can be made through the DD mechanism by adding an

environmental indicator related to forest cover to the current ones based on population, poverty, total

area, and geographic challenges.

In August 2020, BIJAK co-hosted a public consultation meeting to seek inputs from wider stakeholders,

including CSOs, academicians, donor-funded projects working on the EFT issue, Bappenas, the Ministry of

Villages (Kemendes), KLHK, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), and

representatives of local government in order to finalize the paper. Currently, the political economy favors

moving forward to develop the types of EFTs proposed in BIJAK’s policy paper. Both the Ministry of

Finance and KLHK are very keen to advance the needed regulatory revisions; however, it will be necessary

to involve the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) as the proposed revisions of Law 33/2004 and

Law 20/2019 need to pass parliamentary review in order to move forward.

In Year 5, BIJAK will lead a working group with representatives of the Ministry of Finance, Kemendagri,

Kemendes, the Ministry of Remote Rural Community and Transmigration, and KLHK to revise regulation

Permenkeu No. 205/PMK.07/2019 on Village Fund Allocation and Permen LHK No. P.7/2020 on DAK

Utilization. The technical discussions to add ecological indicators for each fiscal transfer mechanism to this

regulation are expected to take up to six months and the process will be monitored and assisted by

Kemitraan and the Fiscal Policy Agency if they extend beyond the end date of the BIJAK contract. When

the regulations are revised, they will allow for the national rollout of the EFT approach through DID,

DAK, and DD and will provide official guidance on how provincial governments can request EFTs through

these mechanisms.

While that process is taking place, BIJAK will initiate technical discussions with DPR to propose adding

the ecological indicators to Law 33/2004 related to balancing financial allocations between central and

regional governments, and to Law 20/2019 on the national budget to add EFTs. They will both strengthen

the legal basis for provincial- and district-level governments to request the Ministry of Finance to earmark

funding for environmental protection.

To ensure the government offices and sector stakeholders that will work together to develop and monitor

future EFTs are well informed about the new options for requesting EFTs, BIJAK will hold a workshop for

provincial government representatives, the Institute for Economic and Social Research of the University

of Indonesia (LPEM-UI), Indonesia Budget Center, the Center for Regional Information and Studies

(PATTIRO), the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA), the United Kingdom Climate

Change Unit (UKCCU), and The Asia Foundation to present the revised Regulation 205/2019, Permen

LHK No P.7/2020, and Law 20/2019 in February 2021.


BIJAK will field test the use of EFTs in South Sulawesi and North Kalimantan regions. BIJAK will work with

the provincial government of South Sulawesi to develop an EFT request to fund ecosystem restoration

activities under the conservation partnership that BIJAK is piloting at Bantimurung Bulusarung National

Park. The project will also work with the provincial government of North Kalimantan to develop an EFT

request for sustainable forest management. At each site, BIJAK will hold technical discussions with the

provincial governments to develop a roadmap and milestones for them to request EFTs through DID,

DAK, or DID and use them for improved environmental conservation. The lessons learned from these

tests will be used to inform the revision of regulation 205/PMK.07/2019 and P.7/2020.

sustainable forest management


Strategic Approach 1.2.3: Protect KEEs function outside conservation areas, including non-

state forest

Land located outside of conservation areas can fall within several categories critically important for their

ecosystem functions and biodiversity value. These areas may be located within the existing non-

conservation forest estate, such as production forest, or in areas classified as “non-forest” (APL) lands,

such as oil palm and rubber plantations, and other areas with forest cover. The GOI classifies these areas

as KEEs. To date, KEEs have not been effectively managed even though they represent potential areas of

high conservation value and/or high carbon stock, including wildlife corridors, wetland ecosystems and

biodiversity parks. Sixty-three KEEs have been established by local government decree — 29 biodiversity

parks, 16 wetlands, 9 wildlife corridors, and 9 HCV/HCS areas.

BIJAK’s Year 4 achievements to support KEE development include:

• Worked closely with BPEE to classify and rank potential KEEs using the indicative map

developed with BIJAK assistance. This ranking was based on criteria, including high biodiversity

or carbon stock, presence of wildlife corridors, or wetland ecosystems; the ecological, social,

and economic importance of these areas; size; types and severity of threats; and proximity to

other critical areas, such as conservation areas and peatlands.

• Worked with BPEE to develop a draft regulation providing management performance metrics

for private sector companies to report on HCV monitoring and management to the GOI.

• Worked with BPEE to draft guidelines for managing high conservation value areas (known as the

ABKT Guidelines).

In Year 5, BIJAK will focus on five main activity areas to ensure the long-term sustainable management of

KEEs to ensure that vulnerable designated and potential KEE areas will not be converted for other

purposes:

1) Finalize the ABKT Guidelines as DG KSDAE regulation (to be enacted) so that they are

consistent with the final version of the 2017 KEE Ministerial regulation. Related to this, BIJAK will

develop and formalize a training curriculum and module for KEE management to be delivered

through Pusdiklat’s e-learning platform.

2) Analyze options for sustainable financing for KEE protection through DAK, DD, and DID. At

the same time, BIJAK will identify options to incentivize HCV-high carbon stock (HCS) area

protection by private sector actors or other management units.

3) Expand KEE pilot activities. Work with BPEE and stakeholders to scale up activities to

strengthen the effectiveness of KEE management by expanding pilot activities initiated at one site in

Year 4 to three additional KEEs in East Java —Taman Kili-Kili in Trenggalek, Masakambing in

Sumenep, and Ujung Pangkah in Gresik. These sites were officially designated as KEEs by the

Governor of East Java in July 2020, showing the commitment East Java has to protect KEEs.

However, the management forums have not yet been established. BIJAK will assist the new KEE

management forums at each site to register with the government for legal recognition, work with

them to define roles and responsibilities of forum members, and assist them to develop management

plans.

The experiences and lessons learned from piloting KEE management will be used to update the

ABKT Guidelines to improve their usefulness. BIJAK’s pilot activities will improve the effectiveness

of KEE management on 3,960 hectares of vulnerable mangrove ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and high

conservation value areas that are outside of conservation areas.


4) Build capacity to use Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis (SMCA). The East Java BKSDA and

Provincial Forestry agency (Dinas Kehutanan) have set an annual target of completing an inventory

of 225,140 hectares of high biodiversity forest areas in 26 locations in 2020. Achieving the target will

depend on contributions from various parties, including private sector companies, since the East Java

BKSDA has only allocated enough budget for field data collection in three locations. BIJAK will work

with ARuPA to assist the East Java BKSDA to work towards its goal by introducing the use of SMCA

to inventory high biodiversity areas. SMCA is a spatial data analysis methodology used to develop

blocking maps that display area functions. Once developed, they can be groundtruthed through spot

checking to verify that areas of high biodiversity indicated in the blocking maps are valid, according

to standards set by BPEE. The maps generated through this process will be used by local

governments to request budget allocations to protect the areas until they can be designated as KEE.

BIJAK and ARuPA will train the East Java BKSDA and Dinas Kehutanan to use SMCA and assist in

groundtruthing selected high biodiversity value areas identified through the analysis. The maps and

data resulting from the SMCA will be submitted to KLHK and Bappenas and will provide the basis

for the development of the 2020-2024 Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP).

BIJAK will also assist the East Java BKSDA and Dinas Kehutanan to develop an Information System

to track progress on KEE management at the provincial level. The system will be aligned with PIKA’s

data and information center, Datin.

BIJAK will work with private sector companies present in East Java, such as Perhutani, Koperasi

Serba Usaha Kutai Timber Indonesia, and Koperasi Serba Usaha Bromo Mandiri to pool their spatial

data on HCV areas for submission to BPEE. To complement this process, BIJAK will work at the

national level with the private sector members of the High Conservation Stock Approach (HCSA),

including oil palm plantation and forest concessionaires, and the HCV Resources Network

(HCVRN). HCSA members are already implementing sustainable management of HCV on the lands

where they operate on a voluntary basis. BIJAK will request HCSA and HCVRN members to share

their data including any HCV assessments they have carried out and spatial data they have collected,

with BPEE. BPEE will use the data from private sector companies to analyze HCV areas within forest

concessions and will use it to document private sector contributions to help BPEE achieve its goal of

protecting HCV lands outside of conservation areas in line with the incentive options for the private

sector to protect their HCV/HCS areas (item #2 above). BIJAK estimates that up to 43 million

hectares of HCV area are currently managed by the private sector. During this process, BIJAK will

review the current HCV data registration process and provide recommendations to address any

gaps identified.

BIJAK will then train UPT and BKSDA staff to use SMCA to analyse this spatial data to map high

biodiversity areas select areas for ground truthing.

5) Conduct a national KEE and SMCA learning event where BIJAK, ARuPA, and BPEE will present

best practices for KEE management and the SMCA inventory results in East Java.

Technical Theme 2: Increasing Protection of Key Species

One of the strongest ways to support the GOI in combating the illegal wildlife trade is by working to

develop and implement policies and tools to improve compliance with commitments under the CITES.

These commitments have played a central role in incentivizing key regulatory reforms for the protection

and sustainable use of biodiversity across the archipelago. Over the past four years, BIJAK has focused the

work on combating wildlife trafficking and addressing unsustainable legal trade under two SAs: 1)

enhancing the legal and policy framework; and 2) tackling wildlife crime while reducing demand.

BIJAK’s Year 5 activities build on previous achievements and are designed to enable the GOI to take

ownership of the tools and approaches developed with BIJAK support, as well as to put into place an

enabling environment so that KLHK and KKP can continue to carry out evidence-based species

conservation going forward.

Strategic Approach 2.1: Revise and update the legal and policy framework, build capacity

to confront the illegal or unsustainable trade in wildlife, and meet national commitments

to CITES

In Year 5, BIJAK will implement several activities under this SA that were planned for Year 4 but were

postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Improve capacity of key related government offices to identify protected species

In Year 4, BIJAK supported KLHK KKH and Pusdiklat to design a training program on species

identification. The target audience of the training is staff from BKSDA, Quarantine, Customs, and Avsec

as the key government institutions responsible for detecting and intercepting smuggled wildlife and their

products at the major exit points from the country. A set of curricula and training modules were

developed with BIJAK support and integrated into Pusdiklat by decree in Year 4 so that they are now

KLHK’s official training materials for this topic.

In Year 5 BIJAK, KKH and Pusdiklat will convert the materials developed in Year 4 into a series of

videos that will be delivered through the e-learning platform administered by Pusdiklat. Delivering the

training through the e-learning platform is BIJAK’s response to the constraints posed by the Covid-19

pandemic. Pusdiklat’s e-learning platform had already been established long before the pandemic;

however, the majority of the institution’s course offerings were designed to be delivered using

traditional classroom instruction. When the GOI imposed social distancing restrictions, BIJAK shifted its

capacity building strategy to develop training modules and materials that can be delivered through

traditional methods during normal conditions, or through the e-learning platform when conditions

require social distancing. BIJAK, KKH, and Pusdiklat will roll out the e-learning course to officials from

KLHK, Customs, and Quarantine based in Jakarta, Surabaya, Makassar, and Medan as the major hotspots

of wildlife trafficking in Indonesia. Through this training, staff at those key institutions will gain better

knowledge of species protection and technical steps to identify protected species in their day-to-day

work. This will contribute to their improved performance in preventing wildlife trafficking.

Optimize national database for species utilization according to established quotas

Over the past four years, BIJAK has worked with the GOI to support the sustainable utilization of

wildlife through several approaches. Working with government counterparts, BIJAK developed a

methodology to conduct NDFs for CITES Appendix-II species, developed a methodology to set science-

based quotas based on NDFs, made policy recommendations to improve the legal framework for

species utilization, and worked to reduce demand for key protected species, including helmeted

hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil) and songbirds.


In order to meet its goals of limiting the trade of protected species within the limits set by quotas, the

GOI has developed a new online database called SIASAT intended to manage requests for international

transport permits for Appendix II-listed species to ensure that species are harvested at sustainable levels

and quotas are not exceeded. Since SIASAT was developed it has not been rolled out for national use

because the current version does not include mechanisms to track the permitting process, monitor the

use of quotas across regions, and automatically prevent new permit applications from being submitted

by exporters when quotas have been exceeded.

In Year 5, BIJAK will work with KKH to optimize the SIASAT database to aggregate export permit data

entered at the regional level up to the national level, to track the progress of each permit application.

When the database has been updated, BIJAK and KKH will train the KKH Distribution/Transportation of

Wild Plants and Animals inspectors in the five provinces with the highest levels of exports — Jakarta,

East Java, Central Java, West Java, and North Sumatra. These provinces will pilot the system prior to a

national rollout. The success of the SIASAT system will be documented by the records in the system,

which will show that the permits for the trade of CITES Appendix II-listed species issued by KKH in

each calendar year do not exceed the national quotas.

Establish a population monitoring network to support pangolin conservation and sustainable use

of CITES Appendix II-listed species

During Year 4, BIJAK and Yayasan Auriga carried out a comprehensive review of Kepmenhut 447/2003

and developed a policy review and policy brief proposing revisions to address loopholes in the current

legislation to support sustainable use of wildlife. The policy review proposed the following actions to

address gaps in the GOI’s capacity to collect species population data for science-based quota-setting:

a. Strengthen LIPI’s position as the scientific authority by developing a database of population

monitoring data for key species, including information related to threats to the species and risks of

utilization

b. Ensure and strengthen the fiscal capacity to support population monitoring

c. Set up mechanisms to increase public participation, including for the CSOs and universities, to

contribute to wildlife population monitoring

To address these gaps, BIJAK began developing two approaches to support a science-based system of

quota-setting and therefore to ensure the sustainability of species in the wild. In Year 5, BIJAK will

support LIPI in network-building sessions to establish a new population monitoring network. Under this

network, members will be able to regularly share data and information on species populations and

distribution data and develop collaboration among institutions on population monitoring activities.

Currently, scientific data to support quota-setting are still very limited because, among other reasons,

the sources of data and information are still in short supply and there is limited capacity to conduct

population monitoring. Therefore, this network is expected to provide a communication platform

among institutions related to population monitoring activities, which will be beneficial to support GOI’s

efforts on species protection and catch quota development activities.

According to Kepmenhut 447/03, KLHK should set annual quotas for the catch and export of CITES

Appendix II-listed species in response to recommendations from LIPI, and provincial quota requests

provided by BKSDA and/or third-party organizations (NGOs as well as universities). In addition,

Kepmenhut 447/03 states that catch and export quotas should be science-based, taking into account:

1) data and information on habitat and population of the species, 2) other scientific information related

to the habitat and population of the species, 3) quota use from the previous year, and 4) traditional

knowledge. BIJAK’s activities to establish a new species population monitoring network will support the

process of a science-based quota setting by making population monitoring data from third-party


organizations available and easily accessible to the GOI. This new linkage will also improve the

transparency of the quota-setting process by creating a mechanism for third parties to provide data,

information, and traditional knowledge to KLHK to inform annual quota development.

BIJAK and LIPI will deliver online training to participants from Indonesian CSOs in the first quarter of

FY2021 on population monitoring methods for monitor lizards and birds. The training course will cover

the methodologies developed by LIPI to ensure the uniformity and quality of the data collected, as well

as factors to consider in choosing the most suitable method based on the situation and resources.

The guidelines for species population monitoring will be based on LIPI’s publication, Series of Survey and

Population Monitoring Methods for Wildlife (Seri Metode Survei dan Pemantauan Populasi Satwa). Since the

GOI has not yet established standard population monitoring methods for Sunda pangolin (Manis

javanica), an important outcome of the training and network building workshop will be agreement

between LIPI and the NGO participants on the methods to monitor Sunda pangolin populations in

Indonesia to be implemented by the network.

Catalyzing this new network will enable LIPI to benefit from ongoing population-monitoring activities

carried out by diverse NGOs and research institutions as part of their species conservation activities.

Bringing LIPI together with these organizations in the training and the network-building sessions will

ensure that all the organizations collect population data using standardized methods. It will also allow

LIPI to be the central point for network members to voluntarily submit new data, a method that has

worked well for monitoring tiger population data.

Afterwards, BIJAK will work with KLHK, LIPI, and CSOs to apply new skills to conduct a rapid

population assessment of Sunda pangolin. This activity will include data-sharing sessions among

participants from stakeholders in Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan to estimate the population of pangolin

based on direct or indirect encounters, illegal trade data, smuggling as well as modus operandi. The data

collected on population, distribution, and critical exit/entry points for illegal trade will contribute to the

implementation of the pangolin EAP developed in Year 4. It will also serve as a baseline to measure the

impact of EAP implementation. Additionally, this activity will contribute to the National Conservation

Strategy and Action Plan (SRAK) for Sunda pangolin in the future.

Improve capacity of BPSPL staff to monitor trade of CITES Appendix II-listed shark and ray

species

In February 2020, BIJAK began piloting the technical guidelines and SOPs to document the silky shark

catch at Tanjung Luar, East Lombok Regency in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. The port is

known as one of the largest shark and ray landing ports in eastern Indonesia. To kick off the pilot

activities, BIJAK, BPSPL Denpasar and Directorate of Marine Biodiversity Conservation (KKHL)

delivered a training on monitoring and reporting silky shark landings to 48 participants representing

BPSPL Denpasar, BPSPL Denpasar NTB region and BPSPL Denpasar East Java Region, NTB shark and ray

traders, NTB Fish Quarantine Unit, NTB Fisheries Monitoring and Surveillance Office, and the Fisheries

and Marine Agency of NTB Province and East Lombok. The objectives of the training were to improve

the capacity of KKHL and BPSPL staff to monitor silky shark landings in Tanjung Luar and report them

into KKP’s national database; train them to use the SOPs for issuing Fish Species Utilization Permits

(SIPJI); train them to use the SOPs for issuing Fish Species Transport permits (SAJI); and train them to

use the SOPs for issuing the Trade Recommendation Letter for the export of shark and ray products.

In Year 5, BIJAK will expand the training course with new materials related to science-based quota-

setting, required exit permits for CITES Appendix II-listed species, and updates to the SOPs for

monitoring and reporting the silky shark catch based on the results of BIJAK’s assessment. BIJAK and

KKHL will deliver the training to staff from BPSPL Padang Wilker Aceh, Serang Wilker Jakarta,

Denpasar, Makassar, Pontianak, Sorong as well as port officials and private sector shark traders so that


will have a common understanding of the processes the required procedures and permits to monitor

the catch and export of all CITES Appendix II-listed fish species. The training content delivered in Year 4

will be revised in response to specific challenges identified by BPSPL officers who used the guidelines and

SOPs for catch and trade monitoring of silky shark. It will also include adjustments of the SOPs so that

they are broadly applicable to all CITES Appendix II-listed fish species, to support KKP’s new role as the

CITES Management Authority.

In order to ensure that future staff joining BPSPL are trained to the same standard, BIJAK will submit the

online course materials to KKP. In addition, BIJAK will develop a policy paper with recommendations for

more effective shark and ray trade monitoring for KKP to use as the basis for future KKHL capacity

building programs for CITES species trade monitoring.

Improve GOI capacity to manage threatened shark species using evidence-based decision-

making

In Years 1 to 3, BIJAK provided technical assistance to LIPI to develop NDF analysis protocols for

Indonesia, and then applied them to develop the country’s first NDF and science-based catch and export

quotas for silky shark. In Year 4, the project mentored LIPI, BPSPL, KKHL, and BKSDA to develop an

NDF for mako shark (uplisted to CITES Appendix II at Conference of Parties/COP18 in 2019) and to

update the NDF for hammerhead that was first developed in 2017.

In Year 5, BIJAK and LIPI will finalize and hold public consultations of the NDFs for mako and

hammerhead sharks to present the findings and conclusions of the NDFs and inform the public and

traders on how they will be applied to develop catch and trade quotas for 2021. BIJAK will also hold a

shark conservation webinar for KKP, LIPI, BPSPL, the private sector, and the NGO community during

which KKP will present improvements in trade monitoring of CITES Appendix II-listed fish species and

BIJAK will disseminate lessons learned from the process of supporting science/evidence-based shark

conservation and recommended next steps to improve shark management.

trade in wildlife, and meet national commitments to CITES


Strategic Approach 2.2: Increase commitment to tackling wildlife crime and reducing

domestic demand for wildlife and their products

Wildlife crime is multidimensional, requiring collective effort by government and non-government actors

to tackle it. BIJAK has worked to build support and commitment to tackle wildlife crime by raising

awareness of wildlife trafficking related to key species and reducing demand for wildlife and their

products.

In Year 5, BIJAK will work with KKH and CSOs to assess gaps in helmeted hornbill SRAK

implementation to date and provide training and communications support to enable them to promote

helmeted hornbill conservation. BIJAK will continue the BCC campaign launched in May 2020 to shift

consumer demand from wild-caught to captive-bred songbirds. An important focus of the campaign in

Year 5 is to find a way to make campaign materials and information available to songbird consumers, as

well as provide a forum for them to network with each other after the campaign has ended.

Improve Indonesian helmeted hornbill conservation

In 2018, KLHK, supported by BIJAK and a coalition of NGOs, developed the helmeted hornbill SRAK as

required by CITES of all helmeted hornbill range countries. To support implementation of the SRAK,

BIJAK provided a technical training on helmeted hornbill conservation to BBBR National Park staff and

representatives of PT Sari Bumi Kusuma Seruyan-Katingan, a 147,600 hectare natural forest logging

concession in Central Kalimantan.

Although the helmeted hornbill SRAK was enacted in 2018 and is the main reference for helmeted

hornbill conservation efforts in Indonesia, poaching and illegal trade of this species continues unabated.

In 2019, a year after the enactment of SRAK, Indonesian authorities foiled the attempted smuggling of 72

helmeted hornbill casques from Indonesia to Hong Kong.4

In Year 5, BIJAK will work with KLHK to convene the organizations that have been individually

implementing helmeted hornbill conservation activities on the ground in Sumatra and Kalimantan to

evaluate advances in conservation since the enactment of the SRAK. The meeting will allow KLHK to

identify challenges to reducing poaching and illegal trade in specific areas, identify best practices for

conservation, and contribute to improved coordination and collaboration to implement the SRAK.

BIJAK will contribute to improved helmeted hornbill conservation by collaborating with BINUS

University and Indonesian game development company TouchTen, to host a “game-jam” on the

helmeted hornbill. Participating students from Indonesian high schools and universities will work

together to create games as a fun and interactive means of delivering anti-poaching messaging and facts

about helmeted hornbill using a variety of digital and non-digital platforms. During the game-jam

weekend, TouchTen will mentor participants through the process of game development. The games will

deliver messaging to discourage helmeted hornbill poaching that stresses the positive opportunity values

of choices linked to the survival of the species. Such messages will suggest that poaching helmeted

hornbills is limiting and self-defeating. A limited number of game sets (including cardboard playing

boards, cards, tokens, etc.) for the winning games will be produced by BIJAK and provided to UPTs to

carry out their education and outreach programs at eight national parks where there are helmeted

hornbill populations, such as Batang Gadis, Bukit Dua Belas, Bukit Baka Bukit Raya, Gunung Palung,

Kayan Mentarang, Siberut, Tesso Nilo, and Way Kambas National Parks. This master sample will

eventually become the template from which all future production will be modeled.

13, 2020


A second activity to be implemented under Component 4 to raise awareness of helmeted hornbill

conservation is a storytelling competition. BIJAK will create a contest to challenge participants from

cities or towns near the national parks where there are helmeted hornbill populations, such as Batang

Gadis, Bukit Dua Belas, BBBR, Gunung Palung, Kayan Mentarang, Siberut, Tesso Nilo, and Way Kambas,

to communicate the conservation status, cultural value, threats, and/or ecological significance of the

species through original artwork or prose.

To ensure high rates of participation, BIJAK will collaborate with the media partners, NGOs,

universities, and national parks who collaborated on the Helmeted Hornbill Week social media

campaign. BIJAK will work with the national parks to secure placement of the winning visual artwork for

display on local government-owned billboards. BIJAK will provide NGO partners with the short video

entries for dissemination through their social media accounts. BIJAK will work with the national parks

and the winners in the written story category to host storytelling sessions at selected schools close to

the national parks.

Reduce demand for wild-caught songbirds through BCC campaign

Songbird-keeping has been part of Indonesian tradition and culture for a long time. Moreover, in

Javanese culture, songbird-keeping is one of the main elements needed to achieve an ideal life. This

tradition, among other reasons, has created a growing demand for songbirds in Indonesia. Currently, the

trade in most songbird species is legal in Indonesia, but unfortunately, as many as 28 legally traded

songbird species are threatened with extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation

of Nature Species Survival Commission of Asian Songbird Trade Specialist Group. Indonesia lacks

awareness of the impacts of songbird poaching, and few songbird demand reduction activities exist.

In response to this challenge, over the past five months, BIJAK has worked with Daun Digital Indonesia

to design a BCC campaign to shift consumer demand from wild-caught to captive-bred songbirds. The

campaign, called #BijakBerkicau, targets songbird hobbyists in West Java. The online campaign has

resulted in notable progress in the initial stages of behavior change by shifting the topics of online

discussions among songbird hobbyists toward the key messages promoted by the campaign (i.e., ask

about the source of songbirds before buying, shift to keeping fewer songbirds, and practice good

husbandry). In addition, the campaign has affected the behavior of several key opinion leaders (KOLs)

who have begun to raise #BijakBerkicau campaign topics on their own social media platforms (e.g.,

YouTube Channels).

To amplify the impact and sustainability of the campaign, BIJAK will continue to work with Daun Digital

Indonesia in Year 5 to establish a solid network of songbird KOLs to promote sustainable songbird-

keeping. As learned from campaign implementation during Year 4, KOLs or “songbird public figures” are

very influential in the songbird community and have been important channels for disseminating campaign

messages. The campaign will expand to work with more KOLs, both well-known figures and rising stars,

to amplify the campaign’s core messages.

BIJAK has found that the platforms most used by songbird hobbyists to look for information regarding

songbird-keeping (i.e., Facebook groups, songbird news platform, and YouTube) contain misinformation,

myths, and articles or discussions favoring wild-caught songbirds. This stresses the importance of

working with more KOLs to counter the misinformation on songbird-keeping and songbird husbandry.

In order to ensure the sustainability of the #BijakBerkicau campaign, Daun Digital Indonesia will establish

a #BijakBerkicau Facebook fan page where campaign materials will be stored and may be accessed by

visitors. This page will provide a forum for KOLs and songbird hobbyists to continue to discuss

sustainable songbird-keeping.


BIJAK will monitor the campaign using qualitative methods, such as social listening and quantitative

methods, including an endline survey to measure the intervention effectiveness and impact. Monitoring

will record shifts in intention and changing narratives on captive-bred songbirds, and changes in

husbandry practices to improve songbird quality and survival, so that fewer songbirds are purchased.

Support KLHK participation in the One Health Initiative

One of the conditions that increases the risk of emerging zoonotic diseases is the conversion of forest

land, which often leads to increased interactions between wildlife, humans, and livestock. Viruses with

high mortality rates, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003, Avian Influenza in 2004 –

2005, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in 2012, Ebola in 2014 – 2016, and most recently Covid-19 in

2019 –2020, all originated in wildlife and eventually spread to humans through cross-species

transmission.

Since 2018, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), Kementan, and KLHK have worked together under the

One Health approach to respond to and anticipate emerging zoonotic diseases. KLHK’s commitments

under One Health have included strengthening the surveillance of suspected cases of zoonotic diseases

originating from wild animals using a web-based information system called Sehatsatli.

With the emergence of Covid-19 in 2020, the ministries participating in the One Health Partnership in

Indonesia have increased their efforts to ensure optimal health for people, animals, and the environment.

In Year 5 there is an opportunity for BIJAK to provide technical support to KKH so that KLHK can

contribute to One Health by developing SOPs to systematically monitor wildlife populations for

zoonotic diseases consistent with international best practices and protocols, and training KLHK staff in

national parks, conservation areas, and other forested land across Indonesia to use the SOPs.

While specific activities to support the GOI’s capacity to respond to and anticipate emerging zoonotic

diseases have not figured in BIJAK’s previous work plans, this line of work is directly related to BIJAK’s

high-level goal of improving the capacity and willingness of Indonesian institutions to address biodiversity

conservation, especially wildlife trafficking, and climate change as a result of USG assistance.

Furthermore, the activity will have crosscutting impact, complementing SA 1.1.1: Strengthen

conservation area management frameworks and systems, Activity Area C: Strengthening data-driven

management links from site-level patrolling to conservation area management and up to the central

decision-makers, as well as SA 2.2.2 Increase commitment to tackling wildlife crime and reducing

domestic demand for wildlife and their products. Building the capacity of GOI staff to collect data and to

use it to inform management decisions at the site and central levels is consistent with BIJAK’s approach

to implementing activities under both TT1 and TT2.

BIJAK will align this work to complement ongoing USAID investments to provide technical support and

coordinate the One Health Approach through the Infectious Disease Detection and Surveillance (IDDS)

project implemented by FHI360. The IDDS project has successfully supported the GOI to re-establish

the One Health Laboratory Coordination Group, which includes government partners, such as the

Kemenkes, Kementan, and KLHK; the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural

Affairs (Kemenko PMK); universities and other donors, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization

and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The IDDS project was consulted in the

development of this work plan and initial coordination has already begun with their technical staff.

CROSSCUTTING THEMES — YEAR 5 ACTIVITIES

Gender Integration

BIJAK places an emphasis on ensuring that activities are responsive to gender equality considerations in

accordance with the Indonesian government’s approach to gender mainstreaming and USAID’s Gender

Equality and Female Empowerment policy, not only to empower marginalized populations but to ensure

equality of project impacts. Women and men engage with natural resources, including forest

management, differently, due to traditional gender roles and positions within society. Similarly, changes

in policy and practices related to natural resource conservation and exploitation also affect women and

men differently. In light of this, BIJAK has integrated gender considerations into work carried out under

each of the technical themes as well as into monitoring and evaluation activities.

Throughout Years 1 to 4, BIJAK has supported the GOI’s efforts to strengthen the regulatory

framework related to conservation and forest area management. BIJAK FGD facilitators and resource

staff were tasked with encouraging women to actively participate in each event and forum conducted or

supported by BIJAK.

In Year 5, BIJAK will continue to engage the Gender Specialist charged with supporting the technical

team to strengthen gender mainstreaming across all of BIJAK’s technical interventions. BIJAK will

encourage and document women’s contributions to the sustainable management of forest resources;

promote women’s engagement in decision-making on forest management and resource management

issues in community, and national and sub-national agencies; and integrate gender inclusion, equality, and

empowerment measures into the next Renstra and IBSAP.

The Gender Specialist’s Year 5 work will be focused on strengthening the role of women in field-level

activities implemented with grantees LATIN and ARuPA under TT1, working on encroachment and

tenurial conflict handling, and under TT1, to strengthen women’s engagement in species population

monitoring. Under TT1, there will be community FGDs, consultation meetings, and management forum

activities where there is an opportunity to make specific changes in terms of gender relations by

recognizing the role of women in the site-level management of natural resources, and opening

opportunities for women’s substantive participation in discussions and decision-making as participants in

conservation partnerships and as members of KEE management forums. Under TT2, there is an

opportunity for women to play an active role in species population monitoring and reporting activities,

recognizing their knowledge about wildlife in and around their communities, and opening roles for them

in leading and implementing monitoring. In this final year, BIJAK will produce a Gender Assessment

Report to highlight the lessons learned from promoting a gender-inclusive approach throughout BIJAK

project implementation.

While BIJAK will continue to encourage the meaningful participation of women in regulatory dialogue

and development by working with a gender consultant to integrate gender inclusion and empowerment,

as well as to raise awareness of gender considerations when designing and implementing activities, the

project is limited in the scope of its gender interventions. Under USAID’s Gender Equality and Female

Empowerment policy, USAID investments are aimed at three overarching outcomes that are especially

important for people who are marginalized or excluded due to ethnicity, gender, identity, sexual

orientation, lack of income, disability or other factors:

1. Reduce gender disparities in access to, control over and benefit from resources, wealth,

opportunities and services — economic, social, political, and cultural

2. Reduce gender-based violence and mitigate its harmful effects on individuals and communities


3. Increase capability of women and girls to realize their rights, determine their life outcomes, and

influence decision-making in households, communities, and society

Special Activities Component (SAC)

BIJAK’s SAC is designed to engage well-placed Indonesian implementers (CSOs, research organizations,

private sector actors, etc.), through grants, subcontracts, letters of collaboration, or other mechanisms,

to contribute to achieving BIJAK’s objectives. In Year 5, work through the SAC will support activities

across the project’s work plan, such as designing and implementing a behavior change campaign, building

support for protection of Indonesia’s national parks. supporting greater public awareness of core BIJAK-

led initiatives, and piloting activities to test the implementation of national policies and technical

guidelines developed with BIJAK support. Specific activities, especially through grants and subcontracts,

anticipated to be conducted under the SAC are referenced in the Gantt charts in Annex 1. Additionally,

as unanticipated opportunities present themselves, in consultation with USAID, BIJAK may program

additional activities under the SAC.

Table 2. Overview of SAC Mechanisms

Mechanism General Purpose General Features

Grant

Characterized as a “partnership”

between BIJAK and a local

organization. The purpose of a grant

is to provide support to accomplish

a project objective. This support is

consistent with the grantee’s own

mandate and purpose.

• Cost share is not required, but grantee

contribution is encouraged.

• Advances allowed only under standard grants.

• Grant type is contingent on the nature and

duration of the activity and the characteristics

of the organization.

• Goods or services may be provided directly

to local organizations through in-kind grants.

• Covered by assistance regulations.

Subcontract

Used to hire an organization to

provide BIJAK with specific services

in support of BIJAK objectives.

• Cost share is not required.

• No advances allowed.

• Organizations must have capacity to provide

the service.

• Covered by acquisition regulations.

• Cannot give a subcontract to an individual

Letter of

Collaboration

A written agreement to formalize

the commitment between BIJAK and

another party to work together

towards a common objective. Often

used for individual activities of short

duration (typically under three

months).

• Cannot be used to commit either party to

give money directly to the other party.

• Partner contribution amounts, expected

outputs, and reporting expectations can be

specified in the letter of collaboration.

Short-term

technical

assistance

Short-term local or international

technical assistance for specific

assignments to supplement BIJAK

support to a particular activity.

• The best way to contract with an individual.

• Does not require competition, but it is

Chemonics’ policy to conduct fair

recruitment for short-term technical

assistance.

• May require USAID approval.


To define activities under the SAC in this annual work plan, BIJAK technical staff assessed whether the

planned activities would be more effectively carried out by third-party Indonesian implementers,

including research institutions, business associations, CSOs and others well-placed to accomplish specific

aspects of the BIJAK activity. Primary reasons for opting for third-party implementers include: (a)

engaging organizations with a unique skill set, expertise, network, or constituency; (b) maintaining

BIJAK’s role as a facilitator and supporter of change, while supporting Indonesian institutions as the

primary drivers of policy and behavior change, (c) supporting the professional growth and institutional

maturation of key institutions while carrying out activities to accomplish BIJAK objectives, and (d)

promoting the amplification of tools or approaches developed under BIJAK by expanding their

application, as well as their sustainability, so that initiatives supported by BIJAK will continue to persist

after the project is completed.

Grants and subcontracts, awarded through a competitive process, will be the primary mechanisms

through which BIJAK will engage local organizations. Three grant awards that were made in FY2020 are

in the middle of their implementation and BIJAK will seek opportunities to advance in the areas of

conservation partnerships and KEE establishment/management. BIJAK will solicit additional grants and/or

build on current grants to pilot the application of tools, policies and approaches supported by BIJAK, at

the sites described above. In each case, BIJAK grantees will implement activities at pilot sites with

government, CSOs, and community stakeholders, while the core project team provides them with

technical assistance to build their capacity. The approach incentivizes and improves local technical and

managerial capacity and contributes to sustainability by fostering a sense of local ownership.

Activity Coordination, Communication, and Documentation

Through this crosscutting management component:

a) BIJAK developed this work plan in coordination with the recently ended LESTARI project to ensure

that BIJAK activities in Year 5 build on and amplify the approaches the project supported while it

was active and to draw on the lessons learned from the program, now that it has closed. Drawing

on site-level data, experience, and lessons learned from previous LESTARI work in protected area

management, including the use of SMART patrols, participatory zoning, improving capacity of FMUs,

sustainable options for financing forest management and conservation, and KEE and forest co-

management. BIJAK has identified several opportunities detailed in the sections above, to provide

technical assistance to KLHK to pilot national guidelines, regulations, and action plans at sites

formerly supported by LESTARI and other stakeholders, such as the UKCCU, GIZ, World Bank,

and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.

BIJAK’s work with LIPI and KKP on shark and ray conservation is informed by the experience of the

USAID fisheries management projects, including:

• The SEA project’s work in developing harvest strategies for red snapper, grouper, and pelagic

fisheries. The SEA project will end in spring of 2021.

• The USAID Supporting Nature and People Partnership for Enduring Resources project’s

(SNAPPER) previous work in the deep-water snapper, grouper, and emperor fishery stock

assessment, supporting improved governance and addressing illegal, unregulated and unreported

fisheries.

• The now-closed USAID Oceans and Fisheries Partnership (OCEAN) project’s work to improve

catch documentation, traceability, and fisheries management.


b) Ensure complementarity of BIJAK activities with those of relevant key stakeholders at the national

level. Main stakeholder groups are (1) GOI partners in legislative, executive, and judicial branches;

(2) other USG initiatives and projects; (3) Indonesian institutions, including CSOs, research

institutions, private sector entities, and media; and (4) international donors and donor projects.

c) Promote stakeholder understanding of BIJAK goals and activities and how they align with the GOI

plans and agenda to promote a sense of ownership and interest in shared successes.

d) Document and broadly disseminate analyses, successful approaches, and best practices resulting

both from BIJAK activities and other programs working at the national and field levels.

Year 5 Activities

Activities under this component fall under two main categories — stakeholder coordination and

knowledge management — as described below. In addition, the demobilization plan, as a contract

deliverable has been included in this section.

BIJAK will apply the “thinking and working politically” approach, as well as the experience participating in

the applied political economy assessment undertaken in Year 3 to direct activities in Year 5. BIJAK has

built strong relationships working with KSDAE and other partners to develop policies, regulations,

guidelines, and other outputs that have been or will soon be enacted; and helping our partners establish

frameworks for key information management systems and approaches. This affords BIJAK opportunities

to work with KSDAE to pilot implementation of several of the tools and approaches developed, with

the goal of sustainable, on the ground impacts. Updated knowledge of the political economy for BIJAK

activities, both across and within institutions, will help BIJAK prioritize resources and improve success

and sustainability of interventions.

Stakeholder coordination

• During the work planning process, BIJAK consulted with KLHK and other GOI counterparts,

including Bappenas, KKP, LIPI, and the Ministry of Finance, to understand government priorities and

to assess the most strategic entry points for BIJAK to provide technical support. Following approval

of the Year 5 work plan, BIJAK will socialize the plan with these key counterparts and others.

• Develop a Program Implementation Plan or Rencana Pelaksanaan Program (RPP) between BIJAK and

PIKA, outlining areas of support for Year 5. This will allow both BIJAK and PIKA to have a clear

understanding of the project’s contributions to PIKA’s strategic objectives.

• Following discussions held in preparation of this work plan, conduct regular coordination meetings

with relevant USG agencies to synchronize BIJAK’s activities with other USG-led initiatives.

• Through USAID, maintain strong coordination and communication with donors and donor-funded

projects working on the same issues as BIJAK, for example GIZ, UKCCU, World Bank, UNDP, and

the European Union.

Knowledge management

• Continue to use communications tools for documenting and sharing notable achievements of the

project and highlight upcoming activities. Channels will include:

a. Quarterly and annual reports for USAID and PIKA

b. Monthly lists of upcoming activities — shared with USAID and PIKA

c. Weekly bullets to USAID

d. Website

e. Social media accounts


f. Quarterly newsletter

g. Submissions of BIJAK knowledge products to regional and global communications platforms

h. Lessons learned technical briefs for key topics

• BIJAK will disseminate its knowledge products broadly to relevant target audiences to help inform

policy-making and support the adoption of best practices. In addition, BIJAK will share activity

outputs with USAID, including training materials, policy recommendations, and assessment reports,

via Google Drive. Where possible, events will be organized to allow for interactive discussion on

these products among researchers, activists, government officials, and other relevant stakeholders.

• BIJAK will continue to promote best practices and lessons learned from the recently ended USAID

LESTARI project, the SEA project (which will end in spring 2021), and other field programs to assist

in the promotion, adoption, and nationwide application.

• BIJAK will work with the USAID’s Development Outreach Communication (DOC) team and

partners to identify appropriate government and global websites, such as Climate Links, Biodiversity

Conservation Gateway, and Natural Resources Management and Development Portal where BIJAK

knowledge products can be posted for future access, as well as uploaded to USAID’s DEC. These

key knowledge products include technical guidelines, position papers, policy papers, academic

papers, reports, strategies, and infographics.

Demobilization plan

• The operational closeout and phasing down of staffing will be carried out according to the

approved demobilization plan, which, according to BIJAK contract deliverable F.5.12 —

Demobilization Plan, will be submitted to USAID by December 7, 2020, six months prior to the

BIJAK contract completion date.

Communications Strategy

INTRODUCTION

BIJAK’s communication strategy in Year 5 will continue to focus on producing materials that highlight

technical activities and accomplishments to enhance key audience understanding of the project’s work

and its significance for forest and biodiversity protection in Indonesia. The project will utilize the formats

and channels that were used throughout Year 4 to disseminate successful outcomes to target audiences.

BIJAK will highlight the enactment and implementation of key policies, regulations, and management

objectives in success stories, which will be published in both print form and/or across the project’s

digital assets. These stories, which will vary in length from 300 to 400 words, will include but are not

limited to the following:

● FMUs — The role of local government in implementing the multiple-use forest management

approach to effectively save Indonesia’s forests.

● EFTs — Sustainable funding and financing to manage areas with conservation functions at the

sub-national level.

● Sunda pangolin EAP — Reducing the trafficking of Indonesia's protected and endangered species.

● Songbird BCC campaign — Reducing the demand of wild-caught songbirds and shifting

consumer preferences to captive-bred birds.


● NDF and quota management of shark species — Science-based policies to ensure the

sustainable population of shark species in the wild.

● KEEs — Protecting Indonesia’s high conservation value areas outside designated conservation

areas.

● Tenurial conflict handling — Partnering with communities to protect Indonesia’s conservation

areas against threats through conservation partnerships.

● KSDAE communications strategy — How UPTs can build constituencies for conservation

through the implementation of KSDAE’s communications strategy.

The BIJAK website is a dependable online platform where the general public can access project news,

deliverables, and communications products in English and Bahasa Indonesia. These include featured

stories, news clips, short videos, quarterly newsletters, and infographics. Technical and non-technical

reports include policy briefs, position papers, final reports, strategies, academic papers, and technical

guidelines related to the protection of Indonesia’s forests and biodiversity.

In its final year, BIJAK will continue to capture and report program technical activities, results, and

achievements in regular quarterly reports, quarterly BIJAK Bulletins, and in the final report. In addition

to this, the BIJAK communications team will ensure that key knowledge products highlighting BIJAK-

supported approaches, tools, and methodologies are accessible for use by stakeholders after the project

has closed. BIJAK will work with partners to identify appropriate government and global websites, such

as Climate Links, Biodiversity Conservation Gateway, and Natural Resources Management and

Development Portal where BIJAK knowledge products can be posted for future access, as well as

uploaded to USAID’s DEC.

BIJAK will continue to engage the public through social media, through posts on the project’s accounts

on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. BIJAK’s social media platforms have successfully attracted a group

of dedicated followers and have shown positive growth since their inception in Year 3. The project will

continue to use these platforms to cross-promote content from BIJAK’s website and partners, host on-

line events, engage in collaborative social media campaigns, as well as educate and engage the public on

conservation issues. As outlined in the project’s Social Media Strategy, BIJAK’s posts on Twitter and

Facebook will be tailored for specific audiences, which include GOI and related CSO partners, while

BIJAK’s Instagram posts will target Indonesian youth.

BIJAK will continue to publish its quarterly newsletter, the BIJAK Bulletin, in Year 5, distributing digital

copies of the bulletin through the website, social media channels, emails, and WhatsApp group

networking. Available in English and Bahasa Indonesia, the newsletter serves as an additional

communications asset, primarily targeting the GOI, non-government counterparts, CSOs, and the

private sector.

The project will ensure all communications products that are developed by BIJAK and the project’s

grantees meet appropriate quality control standards, the requirements of the BIJAK Branding and

Marking Plan, and USAID branding guidelines before public dissemination.

Where the opportunity arises, the project will coordinate online and offline communication initiatives

with like-minded institutions in the biodiversity and forest conservation sector. These may include other

USAID projects, such as USAID ROUTES and USAID SEA (until it closes in spring 2021), or CSOs, such

as Burung Indonesia, Hutan Itu Indonesia, Rangkong Indonesia, Flora and Fauna Indonesia, Yayasan

KEHATI, Yayasan Planet Indonesia, and Universitas Nasional. Joint activities between BIJAK and these

projects and organizations may include social media campaigns, webinars, contests, and more formal


public discussions to spur a national conversation, promote new research findings, best practices, and/or

successful approaches.

KEY OBJECTIVES

● USAID’s public profile among GOI agencies, the donor community, and the media improved via

increased audience awareness of BIJAK’s impacts

● Public awareness and support for forest and biodiversity conservation increased

● Technical team ability to effectively communicate to GOI and CSO partners supported

KEY MESSAGES

The communication strategy is grounded in the following core messages:

● Indonesia’s forests and marine ecosystems are endowed with the greatest combined

concentration of marine and terrestrial biodiversity on earth. The exploitation of this natural

endowment has abetted massive land-use change, degrading valuable terrestrial and marine

ecosystems and exacerbating Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions. At least 30 million

Indonesians depend directly on the country’s forests, and millions more rely on ecosystem

biodiversity for breathable air, fertile soils, drinkable water, and steady incomes.

● USAID BIJAK brings to bear leading technical expertise in the areas of forestry, conservation

area management, and wildlife protection to help inform and encourage Indonesian reform

efforts that conserve valuable marine and terrestrial biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gas

emissions, and increase Indonesia’s self-reliance in forestry/conservation area management. With

a wide range of partners at USAID, BIJAK supports Indonesia to improve its management of

forests and conservation areas, and strengthen protections for marine and terrestrial wildlife

threatened by illegal or unsustainable trade, improve related laws and regulations (and

management systems/tools), and scale up innovative local approaches.

● Preserving natural habitats and biodiversity — essential to maintaining functional ecosystems —

lays the ground for sustainable development. In partnership with USAID through BIJAK,

Indonesia is increasing the health of its ecosystems so that they can provide more clean air and

water, sequester more carbon for improved climate regulation, pollinate crops for food, and

provide economic livelihood to millions.

These messages are reinforced by more specific messaging on each of the project’s technical themes.

Technical Theme 1

Improving Management of Conservation Areas

Indonesia’s network of 552 conservation areas, including 54 national parks, covers a combined 27.5 million

hectares and plays a critical role in protecting Indonesia’s remaining areas of high conservation value.

BIJAK works with the GOI to improve management of these areas by:

● Developing more effective policies and regulations governing conservation areas and

strengthening management frameworks and systems, including science-based and data-driven

approaches and tools.

● Improving management capacity to reduce the risks of deforestation from oil palm and other

encroachment in and surrounding conservation areas.


● Building and strengthening conservation constituencies through improved communications by

KSDAE on national parks and other aspects of its mandate, and links to other BIJAK activity

areas, to promote a strong sense of national pride and public ownership.

Improving Management of Forests

More than 30 million Indonesians directly depend on Indonesia’s forests and the ecosystem services they

provide. The government-managed forest areas cover 64 percent of the nation’s total land area. However,

forest cover in these areas has suffered significantly due to a lack of adequate governance, planning, and

management. BIJAK works with the GOI to improve management of forests by:

● Strengthening FMUs to better preserve delicate forest ecosystems while meeting increasing

societal demands on forests. The FMU management structure is the cornerstone of Indonesia’s

forest sector reform efforts.

● Expanding funding and financing options to incentivize and provide adequate budgets for forest

conservation and sustainable forest management, including ecological fiscal transfers.

● Effectively managing KEEs — including areas of high conservation value and high carbon stock —

outside conservation areas that to date have had inadequate regulatory and management

protection.

Technical Theme II

Increasing Protection of Key Species

Wildlife trafficking undermines security, rule of law, and efforts to end extreme poverty. Millions of

Indonesians rely on forests, wildlife, and fisheries for their livelihoods. The loss of wildlife reduces

biodiversity in one of the richest areas of the world, disrupts ecosystem structure and function, eliminates

other benefits of particular species to Indonesians, and compromises Indonesia’s natural treasures and

national pride. BIJAK combats wildlife trafficking by:

● Enhancing the legal and regulatory framework and management capacity for protection and

sustainable use of biodiversity across the archipelago. This effort helps the government meet its

commitments to the CITES.

● Partnering with the government and the private sector to disrupt wildlife trafficking activities in

the domestic transportation sector.

● Supporting campaigns to reduce domestic demand for wildlife and their products, including

sharks, helmeted hornbills, pangolins, and songbird species.

KEY AUDIENCES

BIJAK groups its external target audience into three tiers. These tiers are based upon assumed

understanding of BIJAK’s goals and technical approaches. Tier 1 includes direct project partners that

have a close relation to and understanding of BIJAK; Tier 2 includes indirect partners, individuals, and

organizations working in the conservation sector; Tier 3 is youth and the general public.


FORMAT AND DISSEMINATION

BIJAK will combine its digital assets with traditional print products to disseminate the project’s

messaging to the key audiences.

BIJAK’s communications team will work with the project’s technical teams to capture achievements for

inclusion in regular quarterly and annual reporting, as well as for packaging as success stories and

advocacy materials as appropriate. The communications team will spearhead the project’s presence on

its social media channels.

When applicable, BIJAK will work closely with key stakeholders in Tier 1, Tier 2, social media

influencers, and KOLs to extend the reach of the project’s communications efforts. BIJAK’s

communications team will inform the USAID Indonesia’s DOC before the start of any campaign to

increase the amplification of events. Examples may include joint campaigns (i.e., helmeted hornbill

conservation), promotion of events, such as announcements of key policy changes, successful initiatives,

or the commemoration of international environmental days. These events will be planned on a quarterly

basis and BIJAK will inform the DOC before the campaigns begin so that they can help amplify

messaging.

BIJAK will work to ensure its knowledge products — including research, survey results, assessments,

policy recommendations, and other technical reports — are shared broadly among relevant target

audiences to help inform policy-making and support the adoption of best practices. The following are the

primary communication tools BIJAK will utilize for its Year 5 communications strategy:

A. BIJAK Bulletin Quarterly Newsletter

The BIJAK Bulletin will help improve the project’s connection with Indonesian counterparts by

providing them with updates on important project progress. Available both in English and Bahasa

Indonesia, the newsletter will be circulated on the BIJAK website, social media, and print.

Tier 1: Direct partners: USAID, KLHK,

KKP, Bappenas, Rangkong Indonesia,

Kemitraan, WCS-IP, PT Sari Bumi

Kusuma, grantees

Tier 2: Indirect partners: international

donors, NGOs, CSOs, foundations,

universities, think tanks, research

institutions, the private sector, other

governments agencies, public figures,

influencers, social entrepreneurs, and

journalists

Tier 3: Youth and the general public

Figure 10. Key Audiences


B. Website

The website is BIJAK’s key online communications tool to reach its targeted audiences. The project

will provide new content weekly to keep the website fresh and updated. BIJAK will develop an exit

strategy to ensure the sustainability of the information on the website is available after the project

ends. The BIJAK communications team will coordinate any plans related to knowledge management

of the project’s key products with the USAID Indonesia’s DOC team. BIJAK uses Google Analytics

to monitor website traffic on a monthly basis, allowing the project to identify which pages receive

the most visits and where visitors spend the most time, in order to improve content management

and planning. BIJAK will cross-promote its web content through its social media channels. Content

will include, but not be limited to:

● General project information

● Articles/write-ups on BIJAK activities, progress, and achievements

● Visual products (infographics, videos, and photos)

● Links to BIJAK’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts

● Technical and non-technical publications

● BIJAK Bulletin

C. Social Media

Social media analytics have shown that all of BIJAK’s social media platforms have seen steady growth in

the number of followers. BIJAK will continue to improve engagement among Indonesia social media users

on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram by periodically hosting games and challenges to celebrate

commemorative days, as well as through partnerships in the form of multi-stakeholder campaigns and

collaborations. Tactics to increase engagement include:

● Leveraging the social media networks of key opinion leaders, social media influencers,

environment activists, and like-minded organizations that partner with BIJAK to implement

activities

● Using social media monitoring and analytical tools to conduct social listening to measure

the response to specific messaging and materials

● Providing captions that are interesting and informative to garner more engagement among

the audience

● Varying the materials to avoid content fatigue and increase engagement

● Tagging, commenting on, and reposting relevant content from BIJAK’s followers

D. Print materials

● Success stories. One-page success stories that highlight Year 5 milestones and cover a

range of themes from TT1 and TT2. All materials will be shared with the USAID Indonesia

DOC team for review before publication to the general public.

● Guidelines, reports, papers, case studies, and other BIJAK publications. All products will

adhere to the USAID branding and marking guidelines.

E. Reporting

Quarterly, annual, and final reports will be produced and submitted to USAID as contractually

mandated. The BIJAK communications team will share original photo files with photo credits and


one to two sentence captions with the USAID DOC team for posting on the USAID Flickr

account.

MEASUREMENT

In Year 5, BIJAK will use commercial web traffic and social media analytics to examine audience size and

engagement to help sharpen messaging and their delivery. The application, Sprout Social, will provide

BIJAK with a tool to monitor, manage, and optimize the project’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

presence, and provide vital statistics capturing follower growth, exposure, and engagement rate. BIJAK

will present its social media monitoring in quarterly reports to USAID. All technical analysis will be used

to create engaging content for the project’s social media platforms.
