National Target 11: Realization of sustainable maintenance and improvement of conservation areas
()
National Target (NT) 11 is a manifestation of the Government of Indonesia’s commitment to support the vision of 'Realizing a beautiful and sustainable Indonesia' - the sixth out of eight visions in the National Long Term Development Plan (RPJPN) for 2005-2025 (KemenPPN/ BAPPENAS, 2016, p.2).
This vision was strengthened in the third phase of the RPJPN through the technocratic draft of the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2015-2019 which emphasizes the preservation of natural resources and the environment and disaster management as one of the sub agendas to realize economic independence (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2016, p.6).
National target 11 was prepared following the Aichi Target (AT) 11 framework as a reference for formulating a number of action plans and activity programs that have been adapted to national conditions and needs regarding the area of protection and conservation.
Based on the 2015-2020 IBSAP, the implementation of NT 11 supports IBSAP Action Plan 3. 'Maintenance and preservation of biodiversity' through several Activity Groups (KK) with the following themes:
§ Expansion of marine protected area into 20 million ha.
§ Recovery of land conservation areas.
§ Sustainable management of the protected forest.
§ Integrated management of watersheds.
§ Essential ecosystems management.
§ Expansion and sustainable management of lands for agriculture, plantations and animal husbandry.
The formulation of National Targets was carried out in a participatory manner through (1) evaluation and mapping of suitability and implementation of the IBSAP 2003-2020; (2) as a whole, formulating action plans and programs for achieving national and global targets by updating data and information regarding the current status of Indonesian biodiversity and key documents such as the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2015-2019 and Government Work Plan in 2015 which are published by five Ministries/Government institutions, i.e. the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forestry (since January 2015, both ministries have merged and became the Ministry of Environment and Forestry), the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI); and (3) consultations, as the results of identification of national targets along with the action plans and programs, with relevant biodiversity experts, biodiversity managers in Ministries/Agencies, Regional Governments, private sector/biodiversity actors, and civil society organizations through various workshops, seminars, focus group discussions during the period 2013 - 2014 at the national level and some in the regional level (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2016, pp. 17-19).
