A community-driven initiative to protect Central Kalimantan vital carbon sink
Pulang Pisau PRESERVE is a nature-based carbon project focused on conserving and restoring the unique peatland ecosystem of the Central Kalimantan region.
This project combines Wetland Restoration & Conservation (WRC) and Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) strategies to maximize climate impact. By restoring drained or damaged wetlands and reforesting degraded areas with native vegetation, the project enhances carbon sequestration, preserves critical water systems, and supports biodiversity.

The Challenges
Over the past 10 years, a 6 percent annual deforestation rate has placed
Pulang Pisau's peatland under serious pressure.
.webp)
Illegal Logging
Unregulated logging still occurs in the area because immense forest area complicates monitoring efforts. This continuous deforestation reduces carbon storage and threatens ecosystem balance.
.webp)
Forest Fires
Peatlands have become more fire-prone due to land clearing and canalization. Due to high carbon storage, parched peatlands become highly flammable, emitting locked carbon and threatening locals' livelihood.
.webp)
Land
Conversion
Pulang Pisau peatland has been continuously converted for commercial agriculture and development, weakening carbon sinks and hindering restoration efforts.
Activities
Rewetting, Revegetation, and Revitalization
All restoration efforts are guided by Indonesia's Peat Ecosystem Restoration Plan (RREG), ensuring compliance, credibility, and alignment with national climate and conservation goals.
.webp)
Hydrological Restoration
Restore the natural water balance of peatlands by closing drainage canals and reconstructing bore wells. These efforts help rewet the peat, reduce fire risk, and stabilize the ecosystem's carbon storage capacity.
.webp)
Reforestation & Revegetation
Replant burned and degraded areas with native tree and plant species to accelerate habitat recovery, enhance biodiversity, and improve water quality across the landscape.
.webp)
Fire Prevention & Monitoring
Deploy trained patrol teams and early warning systems to monitor vulnerable zones, helping to prevent wildfires before they start and protect long-term project integrity.
.webp)
Community Engagement & Livelihoods
Work closely with local communities through training and upskilling programs, creating alternative livelihood opportunities that reduce dependency on peatland exploitation and foster local stewardship.

Tropical Peatland: Globally Rare, Locally Vital
Key to Climate Stability and Biodiversity
Protecting Our Carbon Sink Frontier
.webp)
Without proper protection and management, peatlands risk transforming from one of the planet's most important carbon sinks into one of its largest sources of emissions.
Protecting Pulang Pisau Forest means safeguarding one of the world's most valuable natural carbon stores and advancing the global fight against climate change.
