Climate
Climate change and rising global temperatures are now a serious threat to human life. At this point, the temperature of the earth has risen 1.1 Celsius. Forest restoration is considered to be one of the most important measures to combat climate change and rising global temperatures. In particular, conservation of Indonesia`s tropical peat forest ecosystem. It is estimated that Indonesian swamps store about 57 gigatons of carbon, or 20 times more carbon than normal mineral soils. This carbon supply is released into the atmosphere, and if the flark is not properly managed, it will lead to an increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere. Reforestation measures can reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. In addition to increasing forest stock due to regeneration, it can also absorb CO2 accumulated in the atmosphere.
Community
Local communities or communities around the forest is a term commonly associated with villagers living in or around forest areas. Forest area is the land of the country that is designated land use as forest. In Indonesia, about 120 hectares, or 60% of the land, is designated as a forest area. However, the forestry sector contributes less than 1% to the national GDP. In addition, generally, the majority of people around the forest have lower middle economic conditions, even poor. Local communities collaborate in carrying out ecosystem restoration projects through innovation activities that are in line with the local wisdom of the community as decision makers and employees to improve the economic level of the community.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is an important part of life on earth. The term biodiversity itself refers to all forms of life, including endangered species of flora and fauna, as well as microorganisms, bacteria and humans. Biodiversity also affects the morphology of ecosystems as habitats for elements of cultural diversity that arise as human-environment interactions. Indonesia itself is one of the most biodiversity countries in the world. Up to 12% of or 515 mammalian species inhabit forests throughout the Indonesian Islands. Similarly, the reptile group that makes up 16% (781 species) of all reptiles in the world. The same thing happened to birds, which make up 17% (1,592 species) of the world's birds. However, many threats are exposed, including climate change, population growth and irresponsible exploitation.
