Reforestation in an Indonesian national park area; a success story Thousands of hectares of land inside Mount Gede Pangrango National Park in West Java, Indonesia, had been utilized for decades by farmers, and government-owned monoculture forestry enterprise. A reforestation project helped bringing the area back to its function in ecosystem service, as well as providing alternative, sustainable livelihoods for the farmers. The project, together with all the community empowerment efforts, started in Sarongge village, Ciputri, very close to national park area, in 2008 . Within five years, awareness and assistance were given to farmers and villagers before they were ready to leave the park. "Forest will be forest again and be conserved if the farmers of its surrounding area have their basic needs fulfilled, " said Director of Green Radio, Tosca Santoso, also intiator of the reforestation project, as quoted by Indonesian media Portal KBR on Jan 11, 2013. The project committee invited tree adopters to participate in reforestation. They also gave farmers-villagers trainings to start alternative livelihoods: ecotourism tour guidings, goat and rabbit farm, hand soap production, organic farms outside the area, or coffee planting and production. August 2013 was the deadline for farmers working in the park to leave the protected area, but other project activities were continued. Those who still want to work in agriculture were rewarded with a new land. Indonesian Ministry of Forestry and Perhutani—government enterprise—gave a clearance and facilitated the farmers to utilize a vast, new area a few kilometres away, within the same subdistrict.
