Summary
The objective of this study were, first to consider the integrated conservation and development project's (ICDP's) overall contribution to conserving Indonesia's biodiversity; second, to assess their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and replicability; and third, to identify lessons for future conservation efforts. The study was based on a limited number of site visits supplemented by case studies, interviews, and an extensive review of project documentation. The study found that very few ICDPs in Indonesia can realistically claim that biodiversity conservation has been or is likely to be significantly enhanced as a result of current or planned project activities. In fact, most of the attempts to enhance biodiversity conservation in Indonesia through ICDPs are unconvincing and unlikely to be successful under current conditions. Having come to these conclusions, the report also analyses the various ICDPs in Indonesia individually, including those on Sumatra, Java, Kalimatan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara Timur, and Irian Jaya.
