The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. We work to shape a future worth living in over 120 countries around the world.
Indonesia is one of the 17 mega-diverse country, with 2 of the world's 25 hotspots, among other ranks of the word's center of flora and fauna diversity. Prior to CBD ratification, in 1993, Bappenas and KLHK introduce Biodiversity Action Plan for Indonesia, followed by several revised documents known as Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP) and now in the process in updating the post 2020 IBSAP. Over the past decades, integrated management on terrestrial and coastal-marine areas has been gaining attention of the Government of Indonesia, particularly in regard to Blue Economy and biodiversity management. However, on-the ground implementation is a complex and formidable task that still becomes an issue to be solved. The increasing development by the time decreasing the environmental quality. Sectoral and silo approach according to each jurisdiction may no longer be applicable. Instead, collaborative, integrated, and transformative approaches are keys to achieve sustainable development at various scales. The current national agenda, for instance, highlighted the green economy transformation and observed the nexus between climate, biodiversity, and development. The integrated management of land-and seascape in Indonesia is therefore, one of the keys to support the sustainable development.
The project "Land-and Seascape Solutions for Indonesia (LASSO)" aims at developing and deploying an ecosystem approach for land and seascapes in at least three regions in Indonesia. As such, its focus lies on biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration, including efforts to strengthen the sustained provision of eco-system services, strengthen blue and green economies as pathways to sustainable development, including agroforestry, aquaculture, and the promotion of ecotourism. LASSO promotes enhanced climate-resilient livelihoods through public-private-people partnership (PPPCP), policies and investments and facilitates learning among partner provinces and scaling-up to others using an inter-provincial knowledge sharing platform. This project is a partnership between the Government of Germany (BMUV) and the Government of Indonesia (BAPPENAS) and will be implemented by a consortium consist of GIZ, ICRAF, SNV and Yayasan KEHATI Indonesia.
