PEATLAND SUSTAINABILITY: STRATEGIES FOR GOVERNANCE AND FIRE MITIGATION

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of sustainable peatland governance, addressing the dynamics of socio-ecological tropical peatland management, the challenges encountered, and the risks associated with its utilization. An integrated assessment approach forms the basis for developing effective strategies by highlighting the key drivers of tropical peatland degradation and efforts to strengthen governance aimed at preserving the peatland ecosystem.

Furthermore, the book introduces a conceptual framework for sustainable planning that engages multiple stakeholders and employs adaptive scenario planning techniques. Through a case study from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, it illustrates collaborative efforts in peatland fire mitigation, the challenges faced during implementation, and relevant policy recommendations. With its systematic and practical approach, this book offers valuable insights for policymakers, managers, researchers, peatland users and communities committed to ensuring peatland sustainability.
