Beginning with a dream to improve the community's livelihoods in his village, Mbah Trisno, a 73-year-old man, initiated a journey to lead a restoration team in Pematang Limau Village, Seruyan, Central Kalimantan. From 2022 to 2023, he and his team planted 8,749 tree seedlings on 55 ha of degraded land. Action for Sustainable Derivatives, through their collective impact fund hosted by Tides Foundation, provided support to Mbah Trisno, recognising his dedication to restoring the degraded land in his village (read more about the story of Mbah Trisno [here](https://kaleka.id/our-stories/mbah-trisno-age-is-no-longer-a-constraint-to)).

\
The project, supported through Action for Sustainable Derivatives’ Impact Fund, aims to find a model for upscaling community-based conservation and restoration efforts while ensuring sustainable production in four large palm oil-producing districts. These districts, Seruyan, Kotawaringin Barat, Sukamara in Central Kalimantan, and Ketapang in West Kalimantan, cover a total area of 62,578 km2, twice as large as Belgium.

\
Since 2022, ASD has been supporting 14 villages: [Batu Agung](https://kaleka.id/village/batu-agung), [Bumi Jaya](https://www.kaleka.id/village/bumi-jaya), Mojang Baru, [Pematang Limau](https://www.kaleka.id/village/pematang-limau), Ringin Agung, Sembuluh I, [Sepundu Hantu](https://kaleka.id/village/sepundu-hantu), [Suka Jaya](https://kaleka.id/village/suka-jaya), [Suka Makmur](https://kaleka.id/village/suka-makmur), Sungai Bakau, Sungai Undang, Tumbang Kalang in Seruyan District, [Mendawai Seberang](https://kaleka.id/village/mendawai-seberang) and Suka Makmur in Kotawaringin Barat District. These villages have been facilitated to implement sustainability initiatives, including protection of the remaining forests, application of fire-free agriculture, community-based degraded land restoration, and certification of the local commodities, including oil palm.

\
Among these fourteen villages, eight are in a dry lowland oil palm-dominated landscape, four are in peat swamp and mangrove ecosystems, and the other two are in the upstream area highly covered by secondary lowland forest. Details of the villages are visualised in Figure 1.

\
To date, our collaboration has had several impacts, including:

* Through Community Forestry and Village Regulation schemes, 5,258 ha of forest in Mendawai Seberang and Ratu Elok villages were protected.
* After an agreement with the local community was reached, 194 ha of degraded land in three villages, Mendawai Seberang, Sungai Undang, and Pematang Limau, were planted for restoration.
* A total of 610 farmers in 5 villages in Seruyan obtained RSPO certification, while in Ketapang, 114 out of the targeted 200 farmers in Ratu Elok Village were registered for the next RSPO certification process. All necessary legal documents and databases have been completed.

# The Journey

The collaboration between ASD and Kaleka started in 2021. It was a pilot project funded by the Estee Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation to support the development of an ASD pooled funding model to enable collective downstream palm derivative buyers to further finance the programme and scale its impacts.

In 2022, ASD and Kaleka aligned on an expanded five-year project plan for the Mosaik Initiative, which ASD intends to support through their Impact Fund through March 2027. The main project activities and achievements by June 2024 are :

Berawal dari mimpi untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat di desanya, Mbah Trisno, pria berusia 73 tahun, mengawali perjalanan memimpin tim restorasi di Desa Pematang Limau, Seruyan, Kalimantan Tengah. Dari 2022 hingga 2023, beliau dan timnya berhasil menanam 8.749 bibit pohon di lahan terdegradasi seluas 55 hektar. *Action for Sustainable Derivatives,* melalui dana dampak kolektif yang dikelola oleh *Tides Foundation,* menyediakan dukungan untuk Mbah Trisno dan sangat mengapresiasi dedikasi beliau untuk merestorasi lahan terdegradasi di desanya (baca kisah Mbah Trisno selengkapnya di __[sini](https://kaleka.id/id/our-stories/mbah-trisno-age-is-no-longer-a-constraint-to)__).

\
Proyek yang didukung melalui dana dampak kolektif *Action for Sustainable Derivatives* *(ASD)* ini ditujukan guna mencari model untuk peningkatan upaya konservasi dan restorasi berbasis masyarakat sembari memastikan produksi berkelanjutan pada empat kabupaten penghasil kelapa sawit terbesar. Kabupaten-kabupaten yang terdiri dari Seruyan, Kotawaringin Barat, Sukamara di Kalimantan Tengah, dan Ketapang di Kalimantan Barat, berada di wilayah seluas 62.578 km2, dua kali lebih luas dibanding Belgia.

\
Sejak 2022, ASD telah membantu 14 desa, di antaranya yaitu __[Batu Agung](https://kaleka.id/id/village/batu-agung)__, Bumi Jaya, Mojang Baru, __[Pematang Limau](https://kaleka.id/id/village/pematang-limau)__, Ringin Agung, Sembuluh I, __[Sepundu Hantu](https://kaleka.id/id/village/sepundu-hantu)__, __[Suka Jaya](https://kaleka.id/id/village/suka-jaya)__, __[Suka Makmur](https://kaleka.id/id/village/suka-makmur)__, Sungai Bakau, Sungai Undang, Tumbang Kalang di Kabupaten Seruyan, __[Mendawai Seberang](https://kaleka.id/id/village/mendawai-seberang)__ dan Suka Makmur di Kabupaten Kotawaringin Barat. Desa-desa tersebut telah memperoleh dukungan dan fasilitasi untuk menerapkan inisiatif berkelanjutan yang meliputi perlindungan hutan, pertanian bebas api, restorasi lahan terdegradasi berbasis masyarakat, dan sertifikasi komoditas lokal seperti kelapa sawit.

\
Di antara keempatbelas desa tersebut, delapan di antaranya terletak di lanskap dataran rendah yang didominasi kelapa sawit, empat desa memiliki ekosistem rawa dan mangrove, sedangkan dua lainnya berada di daerah hulu yang sangat tertutup oleh hutan dataran rendah sekunder. Detail dari desa-desa tersebut tergambar pada Gambar 1.

\
Hingga saat ini, kolaborasi ASD dan Kaleka telah memiliki beberapa dampak sebagai berikut:

* Melalui skema Peraturan Perhutanan Sosial, hutan seluas 5.258 hektar di Desa Mendawai Seberang dan Ratu Elok dilindungi.
* Setelah kesepakatan dengan masyarakat lokal tercapai, lahan terdegradasi seluas 194 hektar di tiga desa yaitu Mendawai Seberang, Sungai Undang, dan Pematang Limau telah ditanami untuk restorasi.
* 610 petani dari lima desa di Seruyan telah memperoleh sertifikasi RSPO, sedangkan 114 petani dari target 200 petani di Desa Ratu Elok di Ketapang telah terdaftar untuk proses sertifikasi RSPO selanjutnya. Seluruh dokumen dan database yang diperlukan telah rampung.

Sebuah Perjalanan

 \n Kolaborasi antara ASD dan Kaleka dimulai pada 2021. Kolaborasi ini merupakan proyek pilot yang didanai oleh*Estee Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation* untuk mendukung pengembangan model pendanaan gabungan ASD yang memungkinkan pembeli produk sampingan sawit hilir kolektif untuk membiayai program lebih lanjut dan meningkatkan dampaknya.

 ![](https://petani.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/partnerentity/3bafba38-20e4-4857-b3cf-6a5e600abd15.png)Pada 2022, ASD dan Kaleka menyelaraskan rencana lima tahunan untuk Inisiatif Mosaik yang mana ASD ingin turut serta membantu melalui dana dampak kolektif  hingga Maret 2027. Tujuan utama dari aktivitas proyek dan capaian per  Juni 2024 adalah sebagai berikut: \n
