Indonesia to restore peatlands and mangroves for major economic potential

This initiative could generate carbon trading revenues ranging up to US$11.3 billion per year

Indonesia is positioning peatland and mangrove restoration as a key driver of sustainable investment, recognising its significant economic and environmental benefits. This is reported by Vietnam News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

According to the Indonesian Ministry of Environment, rehabilitating these ecosystems not only contributes to emissions reduction but also opens substantial opportunities in the carbon market.

Director General of Environmental Pollution and Degradation Control, Sigit Reliantoro, revealed that ongoing peatland restoration efforts cover approximately 4.1 million hectares, with the potential to cut emissions by 302.9 million tonnes of CO2 annually.

This initiative could generate carbon trading revenues ranging up to US$11.3 billion per year.

Sigit Reliantoro also highlighted the economic advantages of mangrove rehabilitation, which requires an estimated US$3,900 per hectare but could yield up to US$50,000 per hectare annually when combined with silvofishery, a sustainable aquaculture method that supports mangrove conservation.

With around 3 million hectares of mangroves, Indonesia has a strong foundation for carbon offset initiatives and trading, the source claims.

These restoration projects align with the nation’s long-term vision for a sustainable economy, balancing environmental protection with economic growth.
