Hutan Harapan Rainforest project governance: process, challenges and recommendations

File: HH Governance Case Study (2021)

  • Hutan Harapan is a rainforest conservation project in Jambi, Indonesia initiated in 2001 by private actors. The Indonesian government has enabled such private-led forest conservation activities on state land since 2004 through the issuance of ecosystem restoration concessions (ERCs).
  • Parts of the project territory are claimed by local indigenous group and other local communities, and overlapping authorities between national and sub-district governments contribute to further dispute regarding access claims.
