Supporting effective on-the-ground conservation and human wellbeing
2023Also available in:
No results found.This critical forest biome region includes 32.3 million hectares of intact forest landscapes from what were once much larger, continuous expanses of tropical forest. Spectacular endemic wildlife include the Tiger, Orangutan, Saola, Cat Ba langur, Giant ibis, Mekong giant catfish, Spoonbilled sandpiper. These forests also provide essential wintering grounds for numerous migratory birds. They store enormous amount of carbon with positive effects on climate stability that go beyond their carbon sequestration potential, providing water and other essential services to more than 50 million people. Many of these areas are managed by indigenous and local communities. Indo-Malayan forests are also among the world’s most threatened – more than 17 million ha of primary forest have been lost in the past 20 years alone, largely due to agricultural expansion, mining, illegal logging, and infrastructure projects. To help conserve and protect these remaining forests for present and future generations, the GEF-8 cycle of funding includes a dedicated Indo-Malaya Critical Forest Biome Integrated Program that provides incentives and resources for Indo-Malaya countries to program a portion of their GEF STAR allocation towards conservation of these forests. -

Regional Coordination and Technical Support Project: Information Paper
2024Also available in:
No results found.Regional Coordination and Technical Support Project (RCP), will serve as a regional framework to leverage political and technical engagement at regional level. Specifically, one core objective of the RCP is to facilitate regional dialogue and exchange on a regional vision on the conservation and sustainable use of primary forests of Southeast Asia plus Bhutan and Papua New Guinea. Other activities include technical assistance, knowledge exchange, establishment of a regional knowledge and learning hub on primary forests, and the convening of a primary forest investment forum. By engaging as political partner in the RCP, AMS / ASEAN the project will not only shape the regional vision on primary forests but also leverage additional resources and expertise in support of the region’s primary forests as well as in support of meeting AMS’s commitments under the UN Forum on Forests, the UN Climate Convention and the UN Biodiversity Plan – thereby positioning the region as a leader in global forest stewardship.
