Korea launched a four-day educational program on forest-related polices for a group of Indonesian policymakers from May 20-24, according to the Korea Forest Service.
“About 15 officials from the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry and Perum Perhutani, an organization given a mandate by the Indonesian government to manage forests in Java and Madura, joined the program,” the KFS said.
The program includes field trips and a variety of lectures on forest policy, including the nation’s reforestation and forest protection policies.
The educational program is part of the Korea-Indonesia joint project for adaptation and mitigation of climate change in forestry, or REDD+.
REDD+ is a U.N.-led scheme to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests, offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested land, the KFS added.
The two-year-long Korea-Indonesia project, launched last year, aims to help Indonesia build capacity in forestry and contribute to community development. The project concerns 140 square kilometers of forest in Sumatra, Indonesia.
