BRAVO: Barrier Removal Assessment and Viability Overview GEUMPANG FOREST COMPLEX Cultural/Politics Impact&Metrics Technical Economics
What: Shifting cultivation pattern and expanded plantation would be minimized to eliminate the main threat facing the endemic and endangered Sumatran elephant and Sumatran tiger. The efforts are necessary to reduce land overlapping with Sumatran elephant and Sumatran tiger home range. Another effort considered important and benefiting local farmers is agro-forestry model for certain commodities, such as coffee and short term inter-cropping production vegetations. Plantation area where human-animal conflicts are happening is the foremost targeted location. The program will be strengthened by the implementation of a compound area (kemukiman) mapping and planning program to map a plantation cultivation area agreed by local farmers. The success of agro-forestry model has been known to increase the biodiversity values of an area. Who:Based in Banda Aceh, FFI Aceh is the main player working in the proposed Ulu Masen conservation area covering an area of 750,000 hectares. Geumpang Forest Complex is part of the Ulu Masen area. In an effort to implement the strategy, FFI Aceh and Rare have agreed on regulating and supervising the agro-forestry program with financial support from FFI Aceh. Rare and USFWS are committed to support the project. Sub-district government and Forest and Plantation Agency of Pidie District share the same commitment in the cultivation and forestry program in Mane area. The Nature Conservation Agency has committed to prevent human-animal conflicts. When: As soon as the required permit is available (focus of Pride complementary campaign), FFI will start its preliminary outreach to prepare the pilot agro-forestry model activity during July 2009. In August-Sept 2009, several agro-forestry technology trainings will be conducted to support the preliminary requirements of plantation model and efforts to implement conflict mitigation in such a plantation model. An area has been designated for this program. By October 2009, an area used for seeds dispersal or land rehabilitation should have been decided. How: FFI Aceh has several special divisions to handle the protection area and the livelihood. Both divisions have program and sufficient funding for the project. Pride Program in Pidie owns special funding for the campaign, but will focus on funding the dissemination of the information and education related to the problems in the program targeted location. Other funding sources (supports from RARE) are expected. The District government and Forestry Agency principally support all conservation programs in the targeted location.
