Thinking about capacity building efforts and needs, where do you think your country is in terms of addressing forest change, forest carbon stocks? Baseline of Deforestation Deforestation Drivers Incentives and Mitigation Measures

Drivers of Deforestation One of the main drivers of deforestation is the expansion of the agriculture in frontier areas. For the two periods 1990-2000 and 2000-2008 the 99.4% of changes were found in the conversion of forest to agricultural land. Powered by monoculture like oil palm an sugar cane.
Incentives and Mitigation Measures • Protect the forests and their ecological, economic and cultural values (4 million hectares). Objectives: • Reducing deforestation rates and emissions of greenhouse gases associated • Improve the living conditions of rural populations (approx. 500,000 participants)
Prioritization Criteria • Areas with high threat of deforestation • Relevant areas for maintaining ecosystemic services. • Areas with high levels of poverty

SHORT TERM Polish our Baseline and Methodologies How do you envision international cooperation to assistance in the short term 1 – 2 years and in the long term 5 years from now? Keep generating accurate information, maintaining the process and improvement methodologies, because we still learning LONG TERM
