<p>Our programme with Indonesia helps it to achieve low carbon growth and reduce poverty
by managing its forests, land and natural resources in a sustainable way, and assists
the country to meet its emissions targets. As part of this the UK supported the development
of a Provincial Spatial Plan in Papua which was agreed in 2013. The spatial plan commits
to preserving 90% of forest cover by 2100. The UK is providing support to the Papua
Provincial Government to ensure effective implementation and monitoring of the Spatial
Plan. If this target of 90% is realised, the spatial plan will preserve around 28
million hectares of natural forest. As with all projects, performance against indicators
is published on an annual basis. Multilateral forest programmes, which the UK supports
through the World Bank, and a centrally-managed programme, which assists the Indonesian
government to tackleillegal logging, also contribute towards efforts to halt deforestation
in Indonesia.</p>
