Rehabilitating the degraded forest areas
1. In 2018, APP has completed the
development of restoration strategy for
mineral and marine clay throughout APP
suppliers concession areas.
2. APP has also built permanent sample
plots to monitor the vegetation growth in
the restoration areas.
3. In 2019, APP target to implement
restoration works in up to 30,000
hectares of degraded forests across its
suppliers’ protected and HCS areas, which
also includes the work to conserve rare
local tree species.

Peatland Management
• Using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Technology to map out
peat distribution. Based on quick scan of the LiDAR mapping data, in
2015 APP retires 7,000 hectares of commercial plantation on peat for
restoration purposes.
• Building more than 5,000 canal blocks in perimeter canal to protect
natural forest bordering the production area.
• Water management for peat ecosystem conservations – analysing
water tables, rainfall data and combining with field survey data to
development water management and guidance for pulpwood
suppliers.
• Design of methods and pilots for flood-tolerant alternative crops -
research into alternative species and mychorizae.

Progress in peat management
• APP has been working on research on alternative
species which can grow well on peat and can be used
for production purpose.
• Trials are currently on-going on the 9 alternative
species that have been identified
• The challenge is in finding more tree families to
be used for research, due to short and limited
fruiting season and accessibility
• Further exploration to collect more tree varieties
continue in various forest areas in Sumatra and
Kalimantan.

APP Restoration Partners
We worked together with the following agencies under the Ministry of Environment & Forestry:
o Center of Research & Development (Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Hutan) to develop mychorrizal research
o Research, Development & Innovation Agency (Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Sosial Ekonomi Kebijakan dan Perubahan
Iklim/P3SEKPI) to plan ecosystem restoration study and assistance
o Balai Besar Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi dan Pemuliaan Tanaman Hutan (BBPPBPTH) to develop rare local tree
species for restoration
And also with academician and other organization:
o Gadjah Mada University to identify best management strategy for peat restoration purposes in the retirement area
o Global Environment Center (GEC) for implementation programs in Kerumutan Landscape (still in discussion)
o Gerakan Masyarakat Cinta Desa (Gecinde) for implementation in Muba area, South Sumatra.
