Work Area: Bogor, West Java
Reporting to: Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist
Key Purpose of the Job
KELOLA Sendang is a ZSL-run project, working with the Indonesian Government, communities and the private sector across 1.6 million hectares in South Sumatra – an area roughly 10 times the size of Greater London. This landscape lies between two protected areas: Sembilang National Park – where the Sumatran tiger population has almost doubled to 32 individuals since the start of ZSL intervention – and Dangku Wildlife Reserve.
The name KELOLA Sendang comes from Indonesian Bahasa, and loosely means 'spring water' and 'partnerships for landscape management'.
In order to connect these two tiger habitats, we work with the private sector to promote sustainable production, including using ZSL’s SPOTT programme to increase transparency and corporate accountability, so that stakeholders can monitor and manage the risks of commodity production. We work with the government to push conservation up the provincial and national agenda, while supporting the national ‘Green Growth Vision’, and working to restore and rehabilitate degraded land.
KELOLA Sendang also works with 21 villages across the landscape to ensure sustainable livelihoods, especially so that they can strengthen their agriculture businesses while using land in an environmentally friendly way.
Ultimately, KELOLA Sendang focuses on building and managing a sustainable landscape, where all species that call it home (humans and tigers) can thrive!
The broad objective of the project was: Inclusive economic growth and community growth and prosperity, biodiversity conservation, forest protection and restoration and the ending of deforestation, peatland drainage and wildfires that reduces land-based GHG emissions.
The project outputs were split across the 5 pillars of sustainable landscape management: Conservation, Livelihoods, Production, Institutions and Knowledge Management.
