In order to ensure that the biosphere reserve can function in line with its designated purposes, Man and the Biosphere United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (MAB-UNESCO) conducts periodic reviews of biosphere reserves every 10 years. This periodic review process is set to be implemented within the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve (LLBR) in 2023 or 2024.
With the purpose of preparation for the periodic review of the LLBR, comprehensive data and information on the activities being undertaken in each zone (core, buffer and transition) are required. FORCLIME is supporting the Coordination and Communication Forum for LLBR Management in relation to the collection of data and the synchronization of integrated programmes in the LLBR during the 2021 - 2024 period. Against this background, an activity was held on Monday, 26 September 2022 at the Office of the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) for Central Sulawesi Province and was opened by Dr. Ir. Christina Shandra Tobondo, MT., the Head of Bappeda of Central Sulawesi Province, who also serves as Chair of the Coordination and Communication Forum for LLBR Management.
During the event, Regional Apparatus Organizations operating within the LLBR were invited to exchange data and information relating to the programs that are being implemented in each zone. In addition, discussions were also held to assess any obstacles that are being faced during the implementation of activities within the LLBR area. Through this activity, sustainable development activity data will be collected from various parties and is expected to provide an overview of the current state of the biosphere reserve, as well as inputs for the preparation of Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve action plans in the future.
