Indonesia LESTARI Landscape Baseline Analysis 1990-2012

Description

This analysis was conducted to determine a baseline level of greenhouse gas emissions due to landscape degradation and deforestation from 1990 to 2012 for the six landscapes where LESTARI implemented activities. These landscapes were: Leuser, Katingan-Kahayan, Lorentz Lowlands, Mappi – Bouven Digoel, Sarmi, and Cyclops. The Green House Gas (GHG) emission baseline for the USAID LESTARI project was calculated using the Government of Indonesia (GOI) Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL) methodology. Users of this data should familiarize themselves with this methodology available at https://redd.unfccc.int/files/frel_submission_by__indonesia_final.pdf. Official GOI land use data and peat distribution data was used to calculate these changes that led to GHG emissions. This data was accessed through project partners for the purpose of defining the baselines, and measuring GHG reductions in LESTARI supported landscapes as a result of all stakeholders and managers improving management. LESTARI does not claim that these results were solely due to the project. GOI data is not publicly available.

21 These spreadsheets calculate baseline Above Ground Emissions in the landscapes. They include Land Use Change (LUC) matrices for all vegetation classes, gross Emission Factors and subsequent total above ground Biomass emissions for each reference period as per the FREL methodology. Each Sheet contains 7 reference periods used to create the baseline (1990-1996; 1996-2000; 2000-2003; 2003-2006; 2006-2009; 2009-2011; 2011-2012). https://data.usaid.gov/d/7crn-7966
21 These spreadsheets calculate baseline emissions from peat decomposition – below ground emissions - in the landscapes. They include Land Use Change (LUC) matrices for vegetation classes on peat land, annual emission factors and subsequent calculation of annual below ground emissions due to peat decomposition as per the FREL methodology. Each Sheet contains 7 reference periods used to create the baseline (1990-1996; 1996-2000; 2000-2003; 2003-2006; 2006-2009; 2009-2011; 2011-2012). https://data.usaid.gov/d/d9zz-dny6
21 This shapefile identifies areas within the 6 LESTARI landscapes where land degradation or deforestation occurred over several time-periods (1990-1996; 1996-2000; 2000-2003; 2003-2006; 2006-2009; 2009-2011; 2011-2012). https://data.usaid.gov/d/aens-tr32
