ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION CONCESSIONFOR ORANGUTAN CONSERVATION
Tokyo - JAPAN, 15 June 2017
KJ7 forest - RHOI

who is RHOI
Established (21 April 2009) one of the first Ecosystem Restoration Concessions in Indonesia (18 August 2010)
RHOI provides a permanent place of safety for wild, semi-wild, as well as rehabilitated orangutans where they can live in freedom, eventually creating new, viable wild populations to safeguard the species survival.
Leaders in orangutan reintroduction and habitat protection

ERC & RHOI
Obligations for ERC holders:• Management plan (annual & 10-years plan) and reporting,• Active in ER (restoration, monev: patrol, forest fire, encroachment),• Boundary demarcation, • Community empowerment,• Land taxes,• Rerearch & Development,• Income sustainability (environmental services, non timber forest
product) vs no timber extraction before ‘ecosytem balance’ wasreached,
• Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) assesment (every 5 years).
Other obligation for RHOI:• Orangutan Conservation (phenology, release, post release
monitoring)
RHOI Unit II is in process (to facilitate orangutan release area)
5
GOALS
To protect an orangutan release site that currently has 68 orangutans but the carrying capacity is lower than the number of orangutan in the rehabilitation center of BOSF
To protect 86,450 ha of threatened Borneo lowland and montane forests in the Sundaland hotspot (WWF and CI) and its associated biodiversity.
To implement sustainable livelihood interventions for the communities in Muara Wahau and for itinerant agar and gold miners.
To produce around 12 million tonnes of CO2e emission reductions

CHALLANGES
The number of Orangutan in our rehabilitation centre in East Kalimantan (177 individual) is bigger than the carrying capacity of RHOI (82 orangutan more), so RHOI is now preparing to apply a new ERC (60.094 ha, that can support 216 orangutan).
Cost effective monitoring of orangutans and forest (vs low access)
Stable funding and support

REPUTATION
BOSF, the majority shares holders of RHOI, has a 25 years experiences in orangutanconservation
RHOI shows a 7 years reputation in managing the forest restoration and released 68 orangutan (since 2012)
Some collaborations were and are ongoing
