        "summary": "Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni announced Indonesia is developing a new paradigm for conservation financing that reduces reliance on public funds by attracting credible private investment. The government has established a task force targeting financial independence for 13 national parks and two iconic species conservation landscapes by 2030. The strategy includes introducing 'Natural Ecosystems as a New Asset Class' and developing instruments such as carbon credits, biodiversity credits, and conservation bonds.",
        "content": "<p>Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni stated that Indonesia is moving\ntowards inclusive and sustainable nature-based conservation financing.\nIn a statement received in Jakarta on Friday, the minister emphasised\nthat Indonesia is building a new approach to conservation management\nthat no longer depends entirely on public financing, but instead opens\nspace for credible, high-integrity investment that delivers real\nbenefits for communities, nature, and the climate. \u201cIndonesia is not\nmerely drafting a financing strategy. We are building a new paradigm for\nconservation governance, where national parks achieve financial\nindependence, communities become key partners, the private sector plays\na meaningful role, and the state provides a robust regulatory framework\nto ensure all mechanisms operate accountably and sustainably,\u201d said Raja\nJuli Antoni. As part of President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directive,\nIndonesia has formed an Innovative Financing Task Force for the\nManagement of National Parks and Iconic Species Conservation. The task\nforce targets at least 13 national parks and two iconic species\nconservation landscapes to reach a level of financing independence by\n2030. To achieve this target, Indonesia is implementing a dual strategy\nthrough regulatory reform and institutional strengthening, while\nsimultaneously driving investment mobilisation through the development\nof innovative financial instruments and strategic partnerships with\nvarious parties. Furthermore, Indonesia is introducing the concept of\n\u201cNatural Ecosystems as a New Asset Class\u201d, an approach that views\nnatural ecosystems as strategic assets capable of generating sustainable\neconomic benefits while maintaining their ecological functions. Various\ninstruments currently being developed include carbon credits,\nbiodiversity credits, species conservation bonds, ecotourism,\nbioprospecting, non-timber forest product utilisation, and various\npublic-private partnership schemes. Raja Juli Antoni said this approach\nis expected to open new investment opportunities that support\nconservation while improving the welfare of communities surrounding\nconservation areas. As a primary pilot project, Indonesia introduced the\nPeusangan Elephant Conservation Initiative in Aceh.<\/p>",
