| Description | The project will secure the future of Kerinci-Seblat National Park (KSNP) by integrating park management and conservation with local and regional development. Park mgt./protection will be strengthened, based on collaborative linkages with buffer-zone communities, and local NGOs and govts. The project will stabilize land use outside KSNP by promoting activities consistent with park conservation objectives, and by improving local land use to relieve pressure on KSNP. Biodiversity assessments in forest concessions surrounding the park will assist better mgt. of a permanent buffer zone in these areas. The project will strengthen regulatory guidelines for inter-provincial, regional planning; improve local and govt. conservation awareness, provide training and extension to villagers, park and local govt. staff. |
| Implementation Status | The GEF grant was extended until December 31, 2002. After 6 years, even though the Park has been gazetted, and received substantial resources for protection, the threats are more serious. The greatest threat remains rampant illegal logging followed by local governments ignoring national laws and building roads through the park, threatening the integrity of the forest, the park and its large mammal populations. Latest Bank’s mission highlighted several major achievements of the project, i.e. completion of action plans for improving concession management in each buffer zone concession, budget allocation increase for the Park management, the Visitor Center is fully functioning, and Village Conservation Grants which funded economic and income generating activities has been distributed to 72 villages around the Park. |
