Focus Area

A landscape High Conservation Value (HCV) mapping project commissioned by The Nature Conservancy for East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.

The project was commissioned to support development and strategic planning for the TNC-initiated Berau Forest Carbon Program (BFCP). The report is available as a public domain resource to support private sector certification, land use planning and other sustainability initiatives in East Kalimantan that incorporate HCV principles and practices.

The project's mapping area covers around 18,000,000 ha, or 91% of East Kalimantan province. Rare or endangered ecosystems (part of HCV3) were identified and mapped throughout this area. Within a smaller area of interest for Berau and Kutai Timur Regencies, HCV related to large landscapes with capacity to maintain natural ecological processes were mapped. Within Berau and East Kutai Regencies, a more detailed examination of threats to HCVs was carried out, and management recommendations are provided aimed at maintaining these values.
