“…This unit can consist of several peatland ecosystems that have hydrological connectivity. 54 A previous study shows that the early indicators of recovery in restored peatlands start appearing two or three years after the restoration steps were carried out (Budiman et al 2020a); the integration is explained in Appendix M.…”

“…However, no canals were blocked at the beginning of the project, even though the canal-blocking technique had been introduced in previous restoration projects in Banyuasin and Muba. The failure to block canals and encourage rewetting reduced the effectiveness of the restoration (Budiman et al 2020a). 62 The failure can be attributed to the project' s limited resources 63 and the absence of knowledge transfer across projects, which in turn resulted from the fragmented implementation of restoration during the 2000s.…”

This study assessed critical aspects in the governance of peatland restoration in South Sumatra and its possible impacts. This province has experienced dynamic land-use change and fires on its 1.2 million hectares (ha) of peatlands since 1997. Our study draws on qualitative, spatial, and quantitative data; interviews with key stakeholders; direct observation; academic literature; experimental modeling; open data platforms; and reviews of policy and project reports. These data were analyzed with the help of theoretical frameworks describing the vulnerabilities and risk governance strategies (Giesen and Sari 2018;Renn 2017;Simon and Dooling 2013).Vulnerabilities exist in political and material forms; thus, risk governance is needed. Political vulnerability is the inability of policymakers and stakeholders to deal with the complexity of governance that often results in poorly judged interventions and leads to unintended impacts, such as wildfires, on peatland. These impacts are known as material vulnerabilities. Governance reform, such as better data for planning, suitable institutional arrangements, and more coordination and enforcement in implementation, is needed to stop these vulnerabilities. These topics are included in the risk governance framework as a strategy to cope with the uncertainties inherent in complex socio-environmental actions such as peatland restoration. The risk governance framework covers aspects within the governance cycle-from planning to implementation and monitoring. It includes evaluating policy and governance practices that cause vulnerabilities, understanding stakeholders' perceptions of risk, creating robust institutional arrangements, assessing and evaluating risks, implementing risk management, monitoring, and communicating and coordinating all aspects.By using those frameworks, we evaluated the governance of peatland restoration and developed recommendations for improving risk governance strategies to prevent fires. We offer a new direction for peatland stakeholders-such as the government, plantation companies, and civil society groups-to improve the performance of policies and peatland governance in Indonesia, and perhaps in other tropical countries, to support sustainable peatland management to mitigate climate change.

“…In rural areas, for example, peat habitats provide easy access to freshwater sources which are used for everyday needs and agricultural irrigation. With aims of supporting ecosystem restoration, results from Budiman et al, [33] indicate that revegetation of peat habitats often produces ineffective results. Furthermore, there are trade-offs between restoration methods and the need to provide short-term economic benefits for local communities through horticultural practices, therefore strategies that try to combine these two activities are often ineffective.…”

The majority of regions in Riau Province are coastal areas and many communities live on land that is dominated by peat. Peat ecosystems have unique characteristics, as they are classified as wetland areas, while also possessing regions of terrestrial land. Poor maintenance of these ecosystems can cause a variety of issues such as forest fires, drought, flooding, biodiversity loss, increasing emissions, climate change, and social community changes. The purpose of this paper is to formulate a model of peatland utilization based on local wisdom and community welfare, in an effort to support the sustainable management of peat ecosystems in Riau Province. The main commodities of the coastal community are agriculture, coconut, rubber, oil palm, sago, coffee, cocoa, areca nut. Therefore, an understanding of the use of peatlands is needed. This is to prevent damage to the peatland ecosystem, maintain biodiversity, store carbon, produce oxygen, and manage water. Policies and strategies for managing the peat ecosystem are carried out through the development of socio-economic and community culture to realize people's welfare based on local wisdom. The management and use of peatlands have contributed to the economy, even as the main source of livelihood for coastal communities. Utilization of peatlands based on local wisdom can maintain a sustainable peat ecosystem.

“…With this technique, the restoration efforts can be carried out and community income will also be maintained [6][7][8]. Several native peatland plant species have been used in paludiculture for degraded peatland restoration, such as sago (Metroxylon sagu), Shorea balangeran, jelutong (Dyera polyphylla), and others [9][10][11][12].…”

Assessment on the Suitability of Planting Non-Native Peatlands Species Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & Grimes in Rewetted Peatlands

Sengon (Falcataria moluccana), a fast-growing timber tree that naturally grows on mineral soils, is currently promoted in peatlands. This study aimed to (1) experimentally test the response of sengon seedlings in waterlogged conditions in the nursery; (2) describe and analyze the biophysical condition of a sengon plantation and its growth; (3) describe sengon farm practices on peatlands; and (4) identify key actor’s perception on planting sengon on peatlands. This study combined an experiment in nursery, field measurements, and key-informant interviews. The nursery experiment showed that peat soil affected seedling’s growth: survival rates decreased by 25–33% after 3 months of inundation. Sengon growth at age 1–5-years-old in peat soil was slower than that on mineral soils. Sengon growth in peatland was influenced by peat depth and peat maturity. Sengon plantation in Central Kalimantan was driven by market availability and industrial wood demand. Fourty-three percent of respondents thought sengon does not grow well in peat soils, but 57% of respondents thought that additional soil treatment will enhance site suitability. Based on key-informants’ experience, 64% disagree with sengon development in peatlands. Our study provides evidence that sengon is predominantly not suitable to be planted on peatlands. Therefore, cautions need to be taken when planting sengon on peatland areas.
