BIOLOGICAL

IMPORTANCE

Forest ecosystem: primary

forest, monsoon forest,

dry forest

Karst ecosystem

Freshwater ecosystem:

swamps, rivers, volcanic

lakes

Marine ecosystem: coral

reefs, sea grass,

mangrove, ocean

trenches, sea mounts

BIOLOGICAL

IMPORTANCE

Hawksbill Turtle/Critically endangered

- Important populations of globally widespread species

- High endemism of fauna and flora

- Site-specific species: many species found at only one

site or two sites

SITE OUTCOMES

Ridge-to-Reef KBAs

64 terrestrial KBAs are directly linked to 58 marine KBAs:

- 27 terrestrial KBAs are islands surrounded by marine KBAs

- 37 terrestrial and marine KBAs share a boundary

Page 9: Community-based Ecotourism in Flores

CORRIDOR OUTCOMES

Defining Corridors

10 terrestrial corridors – forests on each large island

16 marine corridors – ecological processes and migratory routes

Page 10: Community-based Ecotourism in Flores

MARINE PRIORITIES

16 marine corridors were identified

5 corridors are priorities based on their rank for biological importance,

proximity to terrestrial clusters, funding need

NATIONAL PRIORITY

• Conservation areas target:

- 2015: 16.5 million ha (165,000 km2); 2020: 20 million ha (200,000 km2)

• Restoration of coastal areas :

- 2015: 50 sites; 2020: 85 sites

• Effective management of coastal areas:

- 2015: 17 sites; 2020: 35 sites

• Establishment of local conservation areas at district/provincial level

• Conservation and management of ecosystem essential outside of PAs: mangroves, karst, corridors

• Small islands ecosystem
