Established in January 2014 with its headquarter in Jakarta, WRI Indonesia is a non-profit research
organization affiliated with the World Resources Institute, a global environmental think tank based in
Washington D.C. WRI has a research network of over 450 experts and staff in more than 50 countries with
offices in China, India, Indonesia, Europe and the United States. In Indonesia, we have run projects with
partners for over 20 years, and WRI Indonesia was formally launched to build a robust in-country
presence, to formalize existing partnerships, as well as strengthen our research on the ground.
1.1 Activities
Activities will include, but not limited to the following:
Task 1. Biophysical
The role of blue carbon in mitigating and adapting to climate change has now achieved international
excellence. Understanding how climate change affects carbon accumulation in blue carbon
ecosystems and during their restoration is a high priority. This task aims to provide comprehensive
information related to biophysical feasibility and greenhouse gas reduction from mangrove forest as
the most efficient ecosystem in the world at sequestering carbon in living biomass and underlying
sediments. The criteria of mangrove condition (tree cover percentage) is classified into three classes
refer to Decree Of The Minister of Environment of Indonesia Number: 201/2004 Regarding Range of
Standard and Guidelines for Determining Mangrove Damage (Table 1).
Table 1. Criteria for Mangrove ecosystem condition (source: Ministry of Environment Decree
201/2004)
Criteria Tree Cover (%)
Good Very dense >75%
Furthermore, this task should answer questions related to biophysical aspects in order to achieve the
restoration target, including but not limited to:
1. What are the challenges and impacts of disturbance that affects carbon sequestration in
mangrove restoration? How mangrove restoration supports greenhouse gas reduction? In
answering this question, the consultant/firm should identify the relationship between extent
(per hectarage) and the time needed for carbon to be sequestrated.
2. Referring to Table 1, how does carbon sequestration and stocks (above-ground and below-
ground) vary in different mangrove ecosystem condition within four different areas, namely
protected forest area, conservation forest area, production forest area, and non-forest area
(Areal Penggunaan Lahan – APL).
3. Relate to the biophysical aspects, how to ensure the sustainability of mangrove restoration?
What aspects must be considered to prepare and maintain mangrove restoration area?
Ultimately increasing the survival rates in mangrove restoration efforts.
The consultant/firm should also describe any other decision support tools, related to the biophysical,
to achieve the restoration target.
3.2 Approach
The sectoral studies will be carried out through, but not limited to:
1. Literature review, these should be conducted at various levels, including academic and gray
literature. A systematic analysis of the published scholarly literature as a starting point is
suggested. The consultant/firm should recommend a way of developing the literature review.
2. Spatial analysis, the study should be identified the function and role of each designation areas
using spatial data with the corresponding informative boundaries particularly within RTRW
and RZWP3K. The consultant/firm should analyze the gaps and recommend a way to
harmonize the governance landscape.
3. Interviews with government and other relevant stakeholders should be conducted. Some
ways to do it is through distribute a questionnaire to experts on the related task mentioned
above. Stakeholders to be engaged including but not limited to:
Ministry of National Development Planning/BAPPENAS
4. Focus group discussion with stakeholders within blue carbon network could be conducted
when necessary. However, the consultant/ firm should take advantage of meetings and
workshop scheduled, instead of creating new ones. For example, meetings held by SEKRAN-
GRK.
5. Presentation of drafts and findings at variety of stages of drafts to integrate input both from
BAPPENAS and WRI Indonesia, as well as the working group organized by SEKRAN-GRK.
6. Functionality and recording, all archive should be collected and made available online
through some restriction limitation.
2. Expected Outputs
1. Inception report
2. Short report on biophysical feasibility
3. Short report on governance and policy linkage to mangrove restoration
4. Short report on financial and investment opportunities
5. Synthesis report
6. Summary presentation
TIMING
Duration of the work will be 4 months (August 2020 – November 2020).
