Lowongan Kerja LSM | NGO

The ultimate goal of the conservation work between FFI-IP and PT Holcim is to improve protection of limestone and lowland forest in Nusa Kambangan with two stake objectives of (i) develop a conservation plan for Nusa Kambangan; and (ii) develop a management plan for the Conservation Zone/ Green Belt in the Holcim Contract of Work Area.To achieve the conservation goal for Nusa Kambangan Island, a rapid and comprehensive biodiversity inventory need to undertake through the HCVF approach. Holcim has designated a conservation area in the form of a coastal green belt (forest covered limestone hills between the quarry and the coast) no conservation management plan for the green belt has been defined yet. The current biological monitoring system based on the initial environmental impact assessment does currently not provide sufficient information to monitor biodiversity (e.g. monitoring for bats and cave invertebrates does not identify species) of improve biodiversity management for the forests in the designated conservation zone. As the quarry is legally converting remaning intact limestone forests. Holcim's committment to conservation at the landscape level is off-setting the direct impacts of it's operation as well as mitigating any potential indirect impacts of it's operation in the surrounding landscape.
