6 HCV MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

HCV management consists of activities from planning, organizing, coordination and monitoringof identified HCV within a certain area. The objective of HCV management is not limited to protection of HCVs but also to maintain and if possible, improve HCVs in the management area.Monitoring is a series of activities to document, inventory and collect proof of changes and toevaluate the results and achievement.

High Conservation Value Area (HCVA): An area that possesses one or more high conservationvalues. This may comprise forest and non-forest areas. High Conservation Value ManagementArea (HCV MA): The area over which one or more forms of management is undertaken to ensuremaintenance or enhancement of one or more HCV in the area. The HCVMA for a particular HCVmay be larger or smaller than the corresponding HCVA.

Threats against HCVs may come from both internal and external sources. Threat identificationfor each HCV category and/or sub-category is presented based on the source (External orinternal) in matrixes below.

HCV 1-4 management objectives are: (1) HCV1: Maintain, protect individual species and population; (2) HCV 2: maintain large landscape; (3) HCV 3: protect overall ecosystem habitat orrare, threatened, or critically endangered refugia, and improve ecosystem value; (4) HCV 4:maintain and improve ecosystem services important to preventing floods, sedimentation, erosionand forest fire.

HCV 5 and HCV 6 management objectives are to ensure local and indigenous community havesustainable access to HCV 5 and HCV 6 attributes in the short to long term (strategic objective) and are not unexpectedly denied access to these value without their agreement (tacticalobjective).

7 SYNTHESIS OF HCV CONSERVATION AREAS AND MANAGEMENT AREAS

HCV management is basically an adaptive management effort to protect (mitigate the threat),maintain (fulfil the requirements to support sustainability), improve (the quality and quantity ofvalues) - of a HCV. The management strategy is not only through the management of the areathat is set aside, but can be management in all HKI concession areas while still paying attentionto the development objectives of the plantation (long-term economy). Keeping in mind the guidingprinciples of the HCV approach and HCVRN charter approach, and demanding accountabilityfrom the management unit in respecting the right of community FPIC, especially indigenouscommunities.

The management areas of HCVs in HKI are largely not allocated to a single HCV, but area'shared' areas of several HCVs. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate HCV managementplanning taking into account the provisions for protection of multiple values.

Table 17 summarises the area of each individual HCV and HCV management area per Estate and Block. Table 18 summarises areas of HCV Management areas identified that will need tobe managed in addition to the HCV areas themselves. Note that columns for each Estate shouldnot be totalled as the individual HCVs are frequently overlapping.

Table 19 and Table 20 summarise the land use recommendation for the PT HKI area. Table 19 sets out recommendations purely based on the HCV assessment (i.e. does not take into accountcurrent RKU zoning. Table 20 includes the addition of RKU realted conservation commitmentsinto the No Go area. Recommendations are grouped into the following categories:

1. Go Area refers to areas that can be developed by HKI without any HCV related

restrictions. This category includes existing plantations except where they overlap with

HCV or HCV management areas.

2. Go Area with Conditions/notes, this area can be developed with all provisions of HCV

management (land preparation, spraying and fertilizing):

Scrub and open land on steep land within HCV 4.2 (and not overlapping on anyother HCV). This area can be cultivated by complying with the rules of HPT, notusing heavy equipment and the forest floor must be closed. Conduct studies ofinvasive species for Acacia on the hill. Forest rehabilitation on hill if acacia isinvasive species.

Areas already developed by PT HKI on river buffer areas (HCV 4.1) and on steep land (HCV 4.2).

Non-natural vegetation areas in the sun bear corridor (this is included in the HCV1.3 Management Area) and can be planted paying attention to requirements ofanimal habits and food species (sunbear) and retaining connectivity – opening small parcels at a time.

3. The No Go area refers to areas recommended to be removed from planned development,and consist of the following :

a) HCV Areas (KBKT), excluding those HCV 4.1 and 4.2 areas mentioned above.

b) Other - areas not available to be utilized by the company for the following reasons:

Roads

3rd party development – oil palm, mines, farming areas

Additional conservation areas based on RKU (See Table 20)

77

Table 21 summarises the final land use synthesis. Selected key area statistics:

37,567 ha (38% of HKI area) recommended for conservation:

35% of Kendawangan (21,033 ha)

44% of Air Hitam (16,534 ha)

An additional 6,082 ha (6% of HKI area) is allocated to conservation under the RKU butis not identified as HCV in this assessment. If the RKU is able to be revised these areascould potentially be available for developement.

49,461 ha (51% of HKI area) is non – HCV and potentially available for development. Inaddition, 1658 ha (2 % of the HKI area) is available under the “Go area with provisions” category.

3,124 ha (3% of HKI area) is used for public roads and by various other 3rd parties.

The management area of HCV can be seen on maps 24 and 25.

8 FURTHER DISCUSSION

The HCV Assessment has shown that a significant area of the HKI estate is required for conservation of values in the landscape and maintaining socio-economic development (46,772 hectares) but a largearea is available for rubber plantation development (51,119 hectares). Considering the sustainabilityorientation of HKI, Sampoerna Agro and New Forest Asset Management this division between socialneeds, biodiversity and environmental service conservation and economic development seemsbalanced. Communication of the approach taken here are the creation of a sustainable landscape plan is a significant step for West Kalimantan and Ketapang District in particular where rampant conversion has been the norm, and environmental and social “needs” have been retro-actively addressed andhave mostly been already lost.

While the current plan proposed in this document is probably adequate, there are several areas forimprovement. Peat land and its extent in the landscape has been defined through direct observationand remote sensing. Not all areas of potential peatland were visited due to time and resource constraints. In addition, the overlap of the government peat land map and that documented in the field by the survey team require further verification. In order to avoid any scrutiny from civil society orgovernment, those areas define as peat by the MOEF should be surveyed and finding submitted to theMOEF before any decision to develop those areas is made.

Areas have also been set aside to support conservation of charismatic species such as Orangutanboth as HCV 1.1 and HCV 1.2 (Sungai Tengar, Kendawangan estates). From the secondary data, the orangutan distribution area goes into the HKI area. The assessors have applied the precautionaryapproach here and assumed that orangutan are present in the landscape due to historical records(even though they may already be local extinct in the concession boundaries). While it may seem oflow importance for HKI to implement orangutan surveys outside of the HKI boundaries, it would be aprecaution to document the status of this species in the peat swamps now before further developmentnearby, and potentially avoid blame by civil society if orangutan is found to be extinct in the landscapein a number of years. Working together with a credible local orangutan NGO such IAR in Ketapang would provide rigorous and reliable data on orangutan status in Sungai Tengar, and managementrecommendations for their conservation if found extant in the landscape.

Planning sustainable landscape is only the first step toward achieving that goal. The greatestchallenges lie ahead with implementation - management and monitoring. Several key aspects to implementing the sustainable landscape vision presented here will involve:

1) Communicating HKI’s sustainable landscape vision - areas to be planted, conserved orsafeguarded for the community. Communication should happen at multiple levels and includecommunities, local, district and provincial government, NGOs and CSOs, and certification bodies / other interested parties. Valuable partnerships with key institutions or organisationscan be identified when communicating the companies vision for sustainability.

2) Engagement with the community - As the primary stakeholder that will be impacted by thisplantation development project, engagement with communities needs to be improved. The community as a partner, rather than a recipient of assistance and aid from the companies CSRprogram, is essential to achieve sustainability as many threats to conservation and plantationdevelopment come directly from communities – or from their ambivalence to mitigate or actwhen threats arise (such as fire). CSR programs can be based on the management andmonitoring recommendation provided in this HCV assessment and can reduce costs andincrease effectiveness of any community initiatives. Having a balanced plan that clearlyidentifies areas for community development is an opportunity for achieving meaningfulengagement. However, the plan does not include any community tenure studies and this shouldbe implemented as a matter of best practice to further refine the plan at the community / clan /household level, as well as provide a platform for community engagement.

3) Internal capacity to Manage and Monitor – Staff capacity is to implement the vision forsustainability from higher management with HKI is essential. While the HCV assessors have

84

carried out some capacity building and training in HCV identification, management andmonitoring, more is needed.

4) Prioritize HCV Management – The number of recommendations provided for HCVmanagement and monitoring is exhaustive. Therefore, in order to build capacity on an everimproving trajectory, the company needs to identify priority HCV managementrecommendations through a thorough risk assessment and work on these before embracing other management recommendations for HCV at at lower level of risk.

5) Institutionalizing HCV Management and Monitoring – a key part of capacity building of staff isupdating and improving applicable Standar Operating Proceedures / Work Orders thatcommunicate HCV management and monitoring effectively. Updating and improving on SOPshould be an ongoing process with lesson learned through adaptive management incorporatedinto how the company operates to maintain and enhance HCVs within the landscape.
