Application of IPCC Guidelines in Meru Betiri National Park forEstimating Reference Level (RL)

ABSTRACT

Meru Betiri National Park with ± 58,000 ha as ITTO project for DA REDD would provide information required by international standard related to credible, measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) system for monitoring emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Setting reference level or baseline for GHG emissions is among the more challenging issues in implementing REDD+ projects. Reference level was set based on estimation of carbon stock from ground measurement through establishment of 40 permanent sample plots and remote sensing data to analyse land cover change. Carbon stock in MBNP varied from 28.7 to 166.63 ton C/ha with the highest carbon stock in secondary forest. Estimation of emission was carried out using IPCC Guideline 2006. The analysis showed that there was sequestration or no emission during the period of analysis in
1997-2010. The sequestration during 1997-2001 was 211,715.56 ton CO2 eq/year, in 1997 and
242,460.05 in 2010 with annual average of 226,158.75 ton CO2 eq/year. Sequestration in MBNP
during the period of 1997-2010 was mainly contributed from low deforestation rate and even
there was land changes from other land to forest land due to activities in rehabilitation zone.
Meanwhile, from the official report, there were small figures of logging and fires as sources of emission. Reference level as Business As Usual (BAU) for emission up to the year 2020 was estimated based on average emission from 1997-2010. Regression analysis was performed to identify the relationship, however there was no model fit for the existing data. Therefore, scenario of emission from MBNP in the future was made based on anticipated deforestation and population growth. Based on forecasting analysis in BAU, CO2 sequestration will increase during
2010-2020 from 242,460.05 ton CO2 eq in 2010, to 264,420.40 ton CO2 eq in 2020, with an
average of 253,440.22 ton CO2 eq/year. These preliminary results showed that carbon emissions
in Betiri Meru National Park were negative or sequestration, due to small rate of deforestation
and vegetation growth. Therefore, for national park as conservation area, REDD+ should be
focussed on maintaining conservation or biodiversity and improvement of community awareness and welfare. Voluntary standard of Community and Climate Biodiversity (CCB) is available for REDD+ project focussing on biodiversity and social safeguards. Information on important flora and fauna as biodiverity in MBNP is also included.
