Strategic Issue & Programme
General Strategic Issue: “Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration for Innovative Conservation of the Sumatran Rainforest”
Spesific Strategic Issue 1
Community Livelihoods and Pressure on Forest Resources.
Spesific Strategic Programme 1
Sustainable Livelihoods & Community-Based Conservation Initiative.
The ongoing low level of economic welfare among communities living around the forest often triggers extractive or illegal natural resource utilization practices. Therefore, alternative livelihood models aligned with conservation (such as agroforestry, farmer cooperative, and NTFPs) are needed to build conservation awareness from the grassroots level
Spesific Strategic Issue.2
Habitat Fragmentation and Wildlife Threats.
.
Spesific Strategic Programme 2
Integrated Wildlife Corridor & Habitat Restoration Programme.
The continuous reduction in the size and quality of natural habitats due to fragmentation and land-use conversion directly impacts the survival of protected wildlife (such as the Tapanuli orangutan and Sumatran tiger), forest restoration, land vegetation enrichment, wildlife conflict mitigation, requiring precise, science-based habitat management interventions
Spesific Strategic Issue.3
Multi-Stakeholder Synergy and Alignment
.
Spesific Strategic Programme 3
Sumatra Rainforest Collaborative Partnership.
The vast and complex challenges of rainforest conservation cannot be solved partially by a single entity ( Sumatra Rainforest Institute, government or institution alone), but rather demand strengthened synergy, vision alignment, and strategic partnerships among multiple stakeholders.
Spesific Strategic Issue 4
Digital Transformation and Data Governance.
Spesific Strategic Programme 4
Smart-Conservation Digital Transformation Framework.
The speed and accuracy of organizational decision-making are frequently hindered by fragmented data management systems, necessitating digital transformation and the integration of technology-based information systems such as geospatial information system, drone application – LiDAR, NDVI, AI – Deep Learning, etc.
Spesific Strategic Issue 5
Human Resource Capacity and Technical Competency Gaps
Spesific Strategic Programme 5
Organizational Excellence & Technical Upskilling Programme.
The dynamic challenges in the field (such as law enforcement/patrolling, GIS mapping, administrative-financial management, and community empowerment approaches) demand continuous technical competency improvement and ongoing mentoring for organizational personnel.
Spesific Strategic Issue 6
Operational Standardization and Work Culture
Spesific Strategic Programme 6
Institutional Efficiency & Professional Culture Standardisation
The need to enhance performance consistency, boost operational efficiency, and foster a more professional work culture can be addressed by institutionalizing clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as working guidelines for the organization management and project management.
