The Kalimantan Forest Climate Partnership (KFCP) is a REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) demonstration activity taking place in the Kapuas District in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
This project is being conducted together by the Australian Government and the Indonesian Government, which has selected an ex-peatland development site as the site of the demonstration activity.
The recognition of ancestral territories is still a major problem for indigenous peoples in the area. This is in spite of the fact that the REDD demonstration activity is taking place on the Dayak Ngaju indigenous people's territory.

Indigenous Peoples Facing Climate Change and REDD
Climate change has already had an impact on the lives of people all around the world. The changing climate is because of human activities which have damaged the condition of the natural environment.
Despite contributing very little to the causes of global warming, indigenous peoples are those who are suffering from the impacts of climate change.
In order to prepare indigenous peoples to face climate change, AMAN has started to educate people about climate change in a various indigenous communities in Indonesia. AMAN has also invited indigenous peoples to participate in reducing the impacts of climate change by protecting forests in accordance with their customary regulations.
Indigenous peoples are also being prepared to face climate change mitigation projects as REDD.
Indigenous Peoples and Local Wisdom_Saving Indonesia's Forests
Indigenous peoples and their local knowledge are working to save millions of hectares of forests in Indonesia in the form of indigenous forests.
For the Dayak Kuatantn in Pendaun village, West Kalimantan, 'Torunth' or the forest is their heritage.
Through deliberations on their customs, the Pendaun community sets aside some areas of forests as 'Tanah Colap' or 'cold ground' - sacred forest.
In Ngata Toro, Central Sulawesi, the Lore Lindu national park was declared in 1992. The Toro community's existence cannot be separated from the national park. The Toro indigenous peoples have guarded and preserved their ancestral forest which has existed long before the national park came into being. Through their customary institutions and regulations, the Toro indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with their forests, which now fall within the boundaries of the Lore Lindu national park.
