Selection of Methodology for REDD+ Project in Meru Betiri National Park,East Java to Prepare PDD
During readiness phase, some demonstration activities have been implemented as learning process before REDD full implementation. For carbon accounting that consider 5 carbon pools, IPCC Guideline provides methodology that has been broadly used by Non Annex I countries. Meanwhile since compliant mechanism is being developed for REDD+ activities under UNFCCC, some voluntary standards are available such as Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), Plan Vivo and CCBA for REDD activities. These standards are referred by some demonstration activities in Indonesia to have carbon credits.
Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) located in southern part of East Java is one of the National Parks which has been selected as the project site for ITTO activities. The total area of the Park is ± 58,000 ha consisting of various vegetation types from mountainous to coastal areas. MBNP is rich of biological diversity and community living surrounding the forest which give both positive and negative effects to the sustainability of the forest.

Illegal Logging as a Threat to Forest Resourcesand Implementation of REDD in Indonesia
Indonesian forest is one of the center for biodiversity in the world, and Indonesia is the third from seven countries called as mega diversity country. Indonesian forest is a home for thousand types of flora and fauna that mostly endemic of Indonesia. Total forest area in Indonesia is about 134 million ha or about 60 percent from total area of Indonesia. Forest has direct and indirect benefits that has been widely known. Direct benefits of forest include timber and non timber forest products, meanwhile inderect benefits include its role for micro climate, hydrological function, and soil fertility, as well as the sources for germplasm essential for current human life and for the future.

Analysis of Land Use, Land Cover Change and the Association Carbon Stock Change to Establish Project Baseline
Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) located in southern part of East Java is one the National Parks which has been selected as the project site for ITTO activities. The total area of the Park is ± 58,000 ha consisting of various vegetation types from mountainous to coastal areas. MBNP as ITTO project for DA REDD would provide information required by international standard related to credible, measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) system for monitoring emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. |
