    MEDIA ADVISORY

    APRIL Group to Discuss Landscape Approach


    to Peatland Restoration at World Forestry Congress
    DURBAN, 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 Indonesian pulp and paper company, APRIL Group, aims to highlight
    the importance of peatland forest protection and ecosystem restoration using the landscape approach at
    the World Forestry Congress 2015, where the company will speak at two sessions:
    Investing in sustainable landscapes for the triple win
    Tuesday, 8 September at 10:30am 12:30pm in Hall 1B
    Landscape approaches to restoring forests and other degraded lands
    Wednesday, 9 September at 19:45-21:00 in Room 12D; with the Indonesian Ministry of
    Environment and Forestry, and Fauna & Flora International (dinner to be served)
    Indonesias peatlands are one of the most sensitive ecosystems in the world and the Kampar Peninsula in
    Sumatra is one of the largest peatland areas in Southeast Asia. Its tropical forests are rich in biodiversity
    and support many threatened wildlife species, including the Sumatran tiger. As a deep peat landscape, the
    Kampar Peninsula retains exceptionally high carbon stocks. It is imperative that the Kampar Peninsula is
    properly managed to restore and conserve this critical peatland ecosystem.
    Launched in 2013, Restorasi Ekosistem Riau (RER) is a multi-year ecosystem restoration initiative that
    employs a landscape approach to protect and restore 70,000 hectares of peat forest. The RER license
    granted by the Indonesian Government is the first to be given to a private sector company, highlighting the
    critical role that the private sector plays in Indonesia's conservation efforts. Partners include Fauna & Flora
    International and local social NGO, Bidara, at Kampar Peninsula.
    As well as inviting the media to attend these sessions, Mr Goh Lin Piao, APRIL Group Managing Director,
    welcomes the opportunity to talk more about the challenges and lessons of sustainable forestry
    management in Indonesia and APRILs responses to these.
