The Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF) opened
a program in the SE Asia and Pacific Region in January
2003 with the establishment of an office in Jakarta,
Indonesia. The focus of the Indonesia/SE Asia program
is on Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) promotion, training,
and demonstration.
Training Modules have
been developed around specific activities and are
delivered on request, to forest concessions throughout
the country. Although the majority of TFF’s
training activities have been in Indonesia, some extension
work has also been done in Sarawak and Perak State,
Malaysia.
TFF-Indonesia, publishes an occassional newsletter RIL & Certification in both English and Bahasa Indonesian.
TFF has also developed technical procedures
manuals as “how to” guides for the implementation
of key aspects of RIL.
In 2003, TFF developed a pilot project
in forest-market linking.
This project combines the issue of legality with the
adoption of RIL. Through the establishment of an independently
audited chain-of-custody. This pilot project has now been expanded and strengthened and now encompasses all key aspects of TFF-Indonesia activities.
In early 2004, TFF started implementation
of a certification support
program in
partnership with a Dutch consulting company. The project,
has been highly successful in assisting two forest concession to achieve FSC certification.
In the past, the Indonesia program has received donor
support from USAID, USDA-Forest Service, ITTO, Home
Depot, Association of Indonesian Forest Concessionaires,
and private industry donations.
Currently, majority funding for
TFF’s Indonesia program comes from a number of private sector initiatives representing major exporters as well as Indonesian forest companies.
TFF also receives contracted funding from The Nature Conservancy and specific project funding from WWF.
