call to action
Stop the destruction
In order to protect the climate,
biodiversity and the interests of
Indonesia’s forest communities,
deforestation and peatland
conversion must end.
The Government of Indonesia
needs to extend the recently
announced moratorium on ‘new
concessions on conversion of
natural forests and peatlands into
plantations’ 118 to include a halt
to all clearing of forested areas
within existing concessions. This
is a first step toward longer-term
measures to end natural forest
loss, which must incorporate
safeguards to protect
biodiversity and indigenous
peoples’ rights. All peatland
including in existing concessions
must be immediately protected.
Industry, the market and
financial sectors must support
this by ensuring they are no
longer involved in forest and
peatland destruction.
The international community
must support this by coming
up with adequate funds and
technical means to tackle the
drivers of deforestation and
ensure the implementation of
effective measures to end natural
forest and habitat loss and halt
peatland development.
