Local Communities Start Kampar Rehabilitation
Members of the Teluk Meranti community together with NGO'S Greenpeace, Jikalahari and Yayasan Mitra Insani use sand bags to build a dam to block the drainage of peatlands.
The action, to start the ecological restoration of the carbon rich Kampar Peninsula, involves the completion of a dam to reflood the peat and the beginning of replanting nine thousand native tree seedlings in an area of degraded and fire-prone peatland. Since 2007, the Teluk Meranti community with NGOs such as Mitra Insani, Jikalahari and Greenpeace have dammed at least 23 channels to stop the pollution of rivers from the draining peatlands. They are calling for the Indonesian President to act by protecting the Kampar as part of a nationwide moratorium on all deforestation and full protection of peat, in order to meet Indonesia’s emission reduction commitments.
