*Peatland Hydrology Assessment in North Sumatera *
*(code: Peatland-NorthSumatera)*
The *Peat and Mangrove Ecosystem (PME) Project* in Indonesia is part
partnership between government of Indonesia and the Germany’s Federal
Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
The project focus on climate change “Mitigation, Adaptation through
Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods in Indonesia’s Peat and Mangrove
Ecosystems”.
*Conservation International (CI)* is the lead agency for implementing and
executing the project through works in partnership with stakeholders at the
national and local levels.
North Sumatra is one of our pilot provinces with a population of
approximately 14.5 million people. It is approximately 7.2 million Ha in
total area, of which 3.7 million Ha is forest area and 0.3 million Ha is
peatland area. The peatland conversion was counted almost 80% of peatland
have been drained and converted to palm oil plantations. Rapid
deforestation occurred during 2000-2012 with deforestation rates in forests
at over 3% from 2000 to 2005, increasing to nearly 6% from 2005 to 2010,
and decreased from 2010 to 2012 at 3%. If North Sumatra continued with a
business-as-usual scenario, it is estimated that by 2035 roughly 0.35
million Ha out of 1.9 million Ha of remaining primary forest cover, could
be lost – impacting animal habitats, biodiversity, land degradation, and
resulting in emissions of around 150 MT CO2e.
The key remaining forests are predominantly located in the west part of
North Sumatera across four districts: *Mandailing Natal, South Tapanuli,
North Tapanuli, and Pakpak Barat*.
This consultancy work will conduct pre-assessment and analysis of following
topics:
*A. Scope of Work:*
*Milestone 1: Baseline of watershed and hydrology system in the Peat
