Understanding the linkages between forests, peoples and climate changes are important in tropical country to appropriately reduce the impact of deforestation and degradation and enhancing the benefit to forests owner. The appropriate approaches is also needs to reduce the conflict among parties.
Papua as a part of the last remaining tropical forests in the world plays important position for future emission reduction of GHG. With large and virgin forests cover the island could store a millions of ton carbon. But ironically the large forests with high natural resources treasure not necessary align with the wealth development of Indigenous Papuan. Natural resources conflict are remain high. This is often appear as implication of the weak of local right recognition, lack of community participation and empty space of regulations to cover it. So it is acknowledge that avoiding the increasing of deforestation and degradation in Papua are about how you could helps community to find their right be recognize and get legal chance the manage their resources.
REDD+ as a new scheme to mitigate the impact of climate changes must also consider the rights issues. But the question then how to know who own the right over the forests? What tools we can uses to understand the linkage community livelihood with a forests? How should REDD working on the place where customary right claim are strong? This will trying to elaborate above questions. This was developed based on 3 years mapping experiences that Samdhana Institute and partners in Papua had. The paper in brief will provide a description about rights and how customary boundary mapping could become an suitable tools for Papua to address the right of land and resources issues.
