FORCLIME held a talk show at the Climate Change Indonesia 2011 Education Forum & Expo at the Jakarta Convention Center. Topic discussed was “The Role of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation”. The discussion covered the relation between Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) and sustainable forest management. In that context there was special focus on Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) using mobile cable yarding systems including their potential, cost/benefit analysis and challenges for implementation.  The guest speaker at the talk show was Dr. Yosep Ruslim, an expert on RIL and forest management planning.

Additionally, FORCLIME actively contributed on the Ministry of Forestry’s booth at the Climate Change expo. The Ministry of Forestry presented information related to the current status of REDD+ and REDD+ architecture.
