        "summary": "Indonesia is shifting towards a new conservation financing model that aims to make 13 national parks financially self-sufficient by 2030. The government is introducing innovative funding instruments, including carbon and biodiversity credits, and treating natural ecosystems as a new asset class. This initiative seeks to reduce reliance on public funding by attracting credible private investment and fostering partnerships that benefit both the environment and local communities.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia is moving towards inclusive and sustainable nature-based\nconservation financing, according to Minister of Forestry Raja Juli\nAntoni. The country is developing a new approach to conservation\nmanagement that will no longer depend entirely on public funding, but\ninstead open up space for credible, high-integrity investment that\ndelivers real benefits for communities, nature and the climate.\n\u201cIndonesia is not just formulating a financing strategy. We are building\na new paradigm of conservation governance, where national parks achieve\nfinancial independence, communities become primary partners, the private\nsector plays a meaningful role, and the state provides a strong\nregulatory framework to ensure all mechanisms run accountably and\nsustainably,\u201d he stated. Following President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\ndirection, Indonesia has established a Task Force for Innovative\nFinancing for National Park Management and Iconic Species Conservation.\nThe task force targets at least 13 national parks and two iconic species\nconservation landscapes to reach a level of financial independence by\n2030. To achieve this target, Indonesia is implementing a dual strategy\nof regulatory reform and institutional strengthening, while also\nmobilising investment through the development of innovative financial\ninstruments and strategic partnerships. The country is also introducing\nthe concept of \u201cNatural Ecosystems as a New Asset Class\u201d, an approach\nthat views natural ecosystems as strategic assets capable of generating\nsustainable economic benefits while maintaining their ecological\nfunctions. Instruments being developed include carbon credits,\nbiodiversity credits, species bonds, ecotourism, bioprospecting,\nnon-timber forest product utilisation, and various public-private\npartnership schemes. This approach is expected to open new investment\nopportunities that support conservation while improving the welfare of\nsurrounding communities. As a key pilot project, Indonesia introduced\nthe Peusangan Elephant Conservation Initiative in Aceh, designed to\ndemonstrate that wildlife protection, habitat connectivity, and\ncommunity economic development can be integrated within a single\nconservation landscape. The Minister invited global investment\ncommunities, development partners, and philanthropic organisations to\ncollaborate in supporting Indonesia\u2019s conservation financing\ntransformation.<\/p>",
