When I'm doing a data analysis, one of the things I work hard to avoid is hard coding information into my visuals or into my text. What do I mean by hard coding information? Well, imagine that I had some type of statement in my visual or in my text that said something like the study had 350 participants. I wouldn't want to write that explicit 350 into the text or into the visual. Instead, I would want to use our code to generate that number. That way, if I have to add or remove samples, that will automatically update the number of participants in the study. You ask, how can we do this in R? Well, stay tuned and I'll show you how in this episode. Hey folks, I'm Pat Schloss and this is Code Club. In recent episodes, we've been taking another look at a supplemental figure that my lab published a number of years ago in a study looking at the variation in the gut microbiota of people with and without C. difficile infections. Now, you don't have to know anything about C. difficile infections or microbiology, but ordinations are a very common technique used in ecology. They're useful for taking highly dimensional data. We're talking dozens or hundreds of dimensions and reducing them to two or possibly three dimensions so that we can visualize them in a two or three D medium. We've talked about these types of approaches in recent episodes and the data that we've used comes from an approach used called non-metric dimensional scaling or NMDS. Metric dimensional scaling has a set of techniques called principal components analysis and principal coordinates analysis. In today's episode, I'm going to try to generate a plot using principal coordinates data for the same distance matrix that was inputted into the NMDS using PCOA. One of the things people like to do with PCOA is to use the percent of variation explained by each axis in those axis labels. Don't worry, we're not going to go all wonky talking about eigenvalues and eigenvectors reduction of dimensionality and things like that. I prefer NMDS because I think it does a better job of representing the data. Other people like PCOA or PCA perhaps because the x-axis explains the most amount of variation in the data and the second or y-axis represents the second most amount of variation in the data. The axes in NMDS really mean absolutely nothing. Anyway, what we want to do is we want to insert that percent explained into the axis label. Another thing that we'd like to do is that in the title, as I have it now, I've got my different treatment groups or patient groups colored to match the colors in the plot. The problem is that because I'm using HTML and CSS in the title, I'm using hexadecimal colors there and down in the plot, I'm using r's named colors. If I wanted to change the colors across all of my patient groups, it would get kind of messy. What I'd like to do is create variables for each of the three different patient groups so that I can define them in one place and have that populated elsewhere. So we'll see how we can do that simply using a package that I've actually never used before and I've just learned about called glue. Glue comes as part of the tidyverse and we'll learn a few elementary aspects of glue. And I think it's going to be pretty slick and a lot easier than other approaches that I've used for combining text and data. Before we dig too far into learning the glue package, I want to show you how I currently combine text and data. So there's a there's a function called paste. And we could say something like my name is, and I could then put a space and then I could say patch loss, right? And so that then paste it together, I could say name is patch loss. And then I could do something like paste my name is, and then I could put comma name. And then that would paste together my name is and patch loss. You see that it inserts a space. So paste concatenates the two strings by default with a space. So alternatively, I could use paste zero, right, to say my name is patch loss and that paste that together without any delimiter between the text. This works well, but it gets a little bit cumbersome because as you can see, this gets to be quite long. Alternatively, we could say library glue. And again, glue is part of the tidy verse. I could say glue. My name is, and then in curly braces, I could put name close curly brace, and it will then insert my name is patch loss. Again, that's pretty slick because we could say explained is 10.5. And then I could say glue pcoa axis one. And then in parentheses, I could have the curly brace explained. And then percent and then the closing parentheses, and then that will output pcoa axis one 10.5%. And that then could become our axis label. So let's see how we can do this in our within our Schubert pcoa.r script. So I'll start by loading library glue, along with all my other packages here. And I'll load these files that we've seen in the past. Actually, I want to change this nmds 2d to pcoa. And I'm going to change this to pcoa. And I'll probably just rename everything that's nmds to pcoa. And you know, I'll match the case because I think down below, I've got some capitalization issues going on with my axis label. So I'll run that. And what I now need to do is load my file that contains the percent variation explained on each of the axes. So I'll do read TSV. And this file is actually in raw data. As Schubert, break Curtis, where are you? pcoa dot loadings. So if I run that, I then see my data frame has access and loading. And so I'll say this is explained. Right. And I can then get, I'm going to create a variable called explained one and explained two, because what I'd like to have down here would be pcoa principal coordinate axis one and principal coordinate axis two. And then in here, I'm going to do, you know, percent explained by that and percent explained by that. Right. And so I'll do explained one as my variable for the percent explained on the x axis. And this will be explained. And I'll pipe that to filter. And then I'll get access is one. And I will pull, I believe this column is called loading. And so then if I look at explained one, this is a number, so 7.35%. And I will then round that to one significant digit to the right of the decimal point. So I get 7.4. And then I'll do the same thing for explained two, for the second axis, the y axis, the same thing. So 3.2%. So these loadings percent explains on the x and y axis are quite low. But for human microbiota data, they are very common. And so if you see really any patterns in the data, it's generally thought to be a fairly strong signal. All right, so now we want to use glue to insert this information.  So I could do paste zero, pco axis one. And then in here, I'll put quote. And now I'll put an explained one comma that, right. So this, well, my mouse is moving all over the place. Sorry. All right. And then I need a closed parentheses. Okay, so this is what I would do to put the percent explained in the x axis using pay zero. For the y axis, let's use glue and see what this looks like. So I'll wrap this in glue. And then in curly brace, I'll do explained two. Okay, so syntactically, I think it's a lot simpler than paste zero. Perhaps it's not that shorter. But it's it's much easier to read what's going on, I feel. So let's give this a run and see what it looks like. So good, we see that we have an ordination, it looks quite a bit different than our NMDS did. We see that we have separation on the x axis. Again, the x axis represents the most amount of variation explained in the data, followed by the y axis. And so we have our healthy individuals off to the right. They tend to be clustered more tightly than our patients or subjects with diarrhea and those with C difficile. One of the problems with PCOA is that you kind of get this this arc effect, which isn't really desirable. It's not super horrible here, but it doesn't look great. Again, this is one of the reasons I kind of prefer NMDS, because it gives you a better representation of the data in the number of dimensions that are available to you, which because we're on a screen is going to be two dimensions. Again, what's important for this episode is that we see that we can fairly easily insert the percent explained into the x and y axis labels. I really like how the glue worked. And so I think I'm going to replicate that back up here, instead of using paste, and make that axis one and explained one. And we'll double check that this looks right. So that all looks good. Very nice. So let's see another place that we can use glue. So as I mentioned, I have color hexadecimal for dark gray here of 999999. But I have gray down here. I can't use gray up here in the title because this is within the CSS code. So what I'll do instead is I want to make a variable that I will call healthy, healthy call healthy color, let's go and do that. And I will then do pound 999999. And so that's the hexadecimal. And I will also do diarrhea color. And I'll make that. Oh, where were you over here? So this was blue. And then I'll do case color, which will be ff 00000. Okay, great. And now what I can do to double check that this works is I can insert those colors down here. And so this will be healthy color. So I won't put it in quotes, because it's not a variable, it's not a string, it's a variable name. So healthy color, diarrhea color and case color. And I can copy this down to my scale fill manual. And so let's go ahead and make sure this all works. I think I forgot to load those and I'll generate the plot. And that looks pretty good. And so we'll come back and see the advantage now of naming it up here rather than down in the text. What I'd like to do next then is use these colors in my title. So how do we do that? Well, like we saw with the axis labels, I can do glue, open parentheses, and I'll make sure I have a closed parentheses here. And then instead of that pound nine, nine, I'll do in my star, I'll do healthy color. So it's gonna be healthy. And then over here, instead of this hexadecimal, I'll do the curly brace. And this will be diarrhea color. Again, I'm sorry for all the diarrhea talk. And the reason my screen is all jittery is because I have this really long name and I think we can fix that using glue as well. And so then here we're going to have in curly braces, case color. Okay, so let's go ahead and give this a run. Hopefully I got those names right. And hopefully glue does what we hope it does. And sure enough, we've gotten our colors embedded into our title and into the figure directly using glue. Now, big deal, we didn't change that many places. Well, maybe I want to lighten the color a little bit. Let's go ahead and put BB, BB, BB for healthy color. So we'll make sure that's loaded. So I updated that one line, reran it. And now I've got a slightly lighter color of gray here in my points. And, you know, I could change the colors very easily say I want my diarrhea color to be green. We then see that we've got green, right? We've changed it one place and it gets updated both here in my title, as well as down here. This is obviously not what we want. Those of you who are red green color deficient can't see the difference in these colors now. So I'll go back to what we had before, which again was 00FF. And maybe I'll make this DD, DD, DD, and that gets us a little bit of a lighter color of gray. The downside then is that in the title, it's perhaps a little bit too muted. So I'll revert back. And maybe I'll stick with that 99 that we had in the very beginning. And there we go. So again, what we've seen here is that we could insert numerical data or data that's outputted from our error code into our access labels, we could insert information into our title, you could also imagine putting p values down here in the caption. Now one last thing that I think we can do with glue again, I've never used glue before this episode. So, you know, anything's possible is that my understanding is we should be able to use two backslashes to insert a line break in the screen, but that won't be seen when it's rendered. And so again, when we have a really long title or string, it's really nice to be able to break it up like this so that things aren't scrolling off the screen so much. Now this should not insert line breaks into the title. We've got that in here in these BR tags. So we'll see if this works again, I've never done this before. So this could be bad, but we'll see we'll learn together. And so that worked. And again, the advantage there is that I don't have to worry about things scrolling so far off the screen and it's much easier to edit when everything's in one window. So that looks good. And again, we can use that double backslash because we're already using glue. So that is a win. And I think there's probably more that we could learn about glue. But I think these couple of use cases already are really empowering and certainly easier than doing the same type of thing, but using paste. And I think this improves the readability of our code. And because of that, the reproducibility of our code. So one quick thought about this plot and critiquing it from what we've added today, that we've added this percent explained to our access labels, which is helpful, but perhaps only helpful to those that know what they these mean, we don't really have a descriptor anywhere on the plot for what the percentages indicate. Perhaps what we could do would be to remove this caption at the bottom to say that those represent the percent explained. But at the same time, the people are going to have to be up here, they'll say 3.2, what's that?  Again, if you remember my episode on kind of the Z, Z flow, that throws off the flow. So perhaps you could put something in as a subtitle, but that kind of throws off the flow of kind of seeing cool data. Maybe instead of putting it here in the axes, what we really should do is put it down in the caption that the x axis explained 7.4% of the data, variation of the data in the y axis 3.2%. And again, I'll leave that to you. Maybe you could rewrite the caption at the bottom here to include those numbers using our new glue function. See if you can give that a shot, and let me know down below in the comments how you fare. All right, folks, I hope you found that glue package and function to be useful. I know I'm going to try to use it in the future instead of paste zero. I get really confused sometimes with my quotes and my commas when I'm using paste and paste zero. I would really encourage you to try it with your own work as well. Let me know how you do. Let me know how you do with moving that information down to the caption. If you run into problems, holler, and we'll see what we can do to help you out. As always, if you're interested in this type of analysis, you want to learn more, really encourage you to check out riffimonis.org forward slash the minimal are there. I have a full tutorial series looking at different ways of visualizing working with microbiome data. It uses a different data set that we've looked at briefly before from the Baxter study. A lot of the stuff is the same. Hopefully you can think about how you will take what we've done here, use it with the Baxter data, and maybe even use it with your own data, hopefully. Well, thanks, folks, for spending your time with me today learning about this glue package and function. Like I said, I've never used it before. I look forward to using it in my future work instead of paste and paste zero. I think it's going to be a lot more elegant to use. So I don't have to worry so much about all the quote marks and the commas and making sure everything is paired correctly. I think it I think it really will be helpful and be a lot more elegant. And there probably more is more in the package that I just don't know about yet. That will help me in the future as well. And I'm sure it'll help you as well. Please let me know if it does help you. Let me know if you're successful in getting that caption modified to present the percent explained down in the caption rather than in their access labels. Please keep practicing. Tell your friends about Code Club so they can learn all this great stuff as well. And we'll see you next time for another episode.


aka on dating, my life isn't going to stand still. They pranked SA once before with a fake breakup all in aid of drumming up publicity for a song. So with the second round you can bet fans are having a hard time believing that Bonang Mathaba and aka are really overs. Especially considering that aka made the announcement on social media. As one does. Despite the weariness, aka is sticking to his story and in various interviews has spoken about the split, moving on and not wanting to talk about what went wrong because he would be less of a man. He was on real talk with Anil Mdota and when asked if he'd have another child, he said he'd love more children. And, of course, who would the baby mama be? I believe that I invested a lot in my last relationship. And I'm not saying that I'm going to move on and just go out there in the world and find someone, but I'm also not saying that my life is going to stand still. My life has to keep moving on. Yes it hurts. Yes, I still love her. For me and thinking of having kids, that's a very far away thought from here. aka and Anil joked that maybe he should consider dating a normal girl and the super mega said he's just like somebody who is honest, considerate, supportive, ambitious, smart, and has her own money. Chiwu. Not a long list then, and although Anil did joke that nobody would judge of the couple did get back together, aka said he wasn't here for the controversies and he was taking it one day at a time.


In May 2017, we organized an event at the Volksbühne in Berlin. Over the course of two days, the general public and DiEM25 members from all over Europe came together to discuss strategies on how to implement our European New Deal and to strengthen our pan-European bonds in preparation for future elections across Europe. Inside the Volksbühne's green salon, we introduced the seventh pillar of DiEM's progressive agenda. A much needed progressive technology policy for a democratic Europe. At the same time in the red salon, a series of presentations and workshops were given. Members from different countries shared their expertise on a wide range of political as well as practical topics. Other issues that we have to address and how we can address them. These workshops continued the next day at the Technical University of Berlin and were an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and discuss key issues and solutions in an open and collaborative manner. The highlight, of course, was the evening discussion on the main stage of the Volksbühne on how to bring the European New Deal to ballot boxes near you. More than ten guests spoke while being moderated by Janus Varoufakis and Srećko Horvat. Wonderful it is to be part of the same transnational organization without a confederacy in between us. One transnational organization, it really doesn't matter whether we are Greeks, Italians, Germans, Poles. This is, on its own, a great source of comfort. Speaking for myself. You can find the recording of the entire discussion and more on DiEM25's official YouTube channel and website.


Okay, I just want to say that at the moment I'm alone here, two meters socially distance, but I want to say firstly that I am really pleased and proud to be here, firstly on behalf of FAO and thank you to the Government of Indonesia and the International Topical Peatland Centre and all of the organisers for arranging this, and I especially want to thank everybody because for those who are here in person and the Government of Korea who has enabled this event to go ahead because we, this is one of the first big events, international events that FAO has been able to hold since the pandemic has started in the last two years and I think that we are realising actually many, many benefits and changes. We have had the, of course the pandemic has restricted us in our ability to have meetings, but it has also enabled many of our colleagues to join online and I'm really pleased to have welcomed those who are in the room here, but especially also to those who have taken the time and effort from hopefully around the world to be able to participate with us online. I see there is quite a few of you, so I hope you are actively able to engage in the, in the session here today. So today let me introduce myself really quickly. My name is Adam Durand. I'm the Chief Technical Advisor for several projects working in FAO based in Jakarta. We have projects on forest inventory, mapping and monitoring, but also in the last five years I've been able to learn about the incredible importance of Indonesia's peatlands and so I'm very pleased and excited to be part of this new initiative by the ITPC, that's the International Tropical Peatlands Centre, to actually launch a collaborative platform for knowledge sharing and for people to get together to share their experience and knowledge and all of us learn and increase our knowledge and ability to manage and understand tropical peatlands all around the world. So first of all I'd like to welcome you to the official title is called Could a Virtual Collaborative Platform Help Preserve Our Tropical Peatlands. It's hosted as I've said by the International Tropical Peatlands Centre, which is based in Indonesia, but it's actually reaching out to all people around the world because peatlands exist in so many countries and they've become increasingly recognised for their benefits on climate change, their importance for that, but also their biodiversity and livelihood benefits. So ladies and gentlemen the International Tropical Peatlands Centre Knowledge Platform aims to serve as a go-to place for people to be able to find information, upload and share their own information and learn from each other. The idea is that the platform enables people to share their knowledge and expertise and facilitates both the access to documents, lessons learned, discussions and transfer that knowledge and share it amongst our community of peatland researchers and anybody interested in it from an academic point of view or operationally in the field as we will hear from a number of speakers across those spectrums of people interested in peatlands today. So it's a platform where we can include information on publications, data sets, other communication products relating from peatland research, but we also hope that it will be an operational platform for companies, for organisations that are involved in land management that includes peatlands. We want it also to be international while of course we have a lot of Indonesian people here in the room and it was initiated by C4 which is based in Indonesia, but I believe and we know that there is a lot of knowledge about peatlands around the world and we want to share that with others. So those who are joining online, I think we have a great opportunity for that and it's particularly nice to be able to do it here at the World Forestry Conference where we have so many people from different countries joining us here. The actual collaborative platform is on the website and I'm sure that we will hear the link for that later. It has been going since it was soft launched in the middle of last year, but this is one of the first times where we really want to reach out to a lot of people and build the networks appreciation and understanding so that more people are able to engage on it. In this session today we're very honoured to have the keynote remarks being made by Dr Egos Giustianto. He's the Director-General of Sustainable Forest Management in the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry. He will kick us off with some initial keynote remarks which we're interested to hear and then after that you will be hearing from five expert panellists in their respective fields. Firstly, my friend and colleague Ibu Haruni Chrisnawati, the Lead Coordinator for the International Tropical Peatlands Centre. Then we'll also hear from others including Sufiat who's the Manager of the Data and Information Centre and the services provided by C4 and ICRAF based in Indonesia. We will also hear from Babak Mohamad Asgari, my colleague also working in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry who has done a lot of work on peatlands and in particular water issues and ecosystem values from peatlands. Then we will hear from Dr Choi Hung Soon who's the Director of Global Forestry Research Division who will be joining us online. And last but not least Dr Iwan Setiawan from the Deputy Director of the Corporate Strategic Relations from Sinemas in Indonesia. So before I begin our session I want to just have a few housekeeping notes for those in the room and also those joining online. The presenters will have 10 minutes each today and the session is being recorded so you don't have to scribble fast and take notes and I believe the presentations will be made available afterwards. And we want you to also share that afterwards if you find this meeting valuable for looking at afterwards. If you have any questions I would like you to take note of them. We will try and get through most of the presentations and have a question and answer and good discussion session at the end. And I would ask you to hold your questions because maybe they're answered by one of the other speakers during the event. So hold them till the end and if you want you can submit them to the chat feature if you're online and we can then read them out. We'll select them and read them out at the end of the session. So what we're aiming to do here with this conference platform is to present the platform, the new knowledge sharing platform and answering questions that you may have about how to use it or how you can contribute and get involved. If you've got a specific technical question please address it to one of the presenters so we know who you are expecting to answer it. So that's the kind of logistics of the meeting. It's a usual kind of hybrid Zoom meeting. I think most of us are used to that now and I won't hold you up much further other than to say I'm very pleased to welcome Pak Agus Giustianto who will be speaking on our keynote remarks. Thank you very much Pak Agus. The floor is yours. Thank you Adam. This is the English speaker Dr. Choi Jung Soon, Director of Global Forestry Research Division, National Institute of Forest Science, Republic of Korea. Dr. Haruni Krishnawati, Lead Coordinator of the International Tropical Pitland Centers, Secretariat. Mr. Mohamed Askari from the Ministry of Environment Forestry, Indonesia. Mr. Ivan Stiawan, the Beauty Director Corporate Strategic and Relations in Armas, Forestry, Indonesia. Mr. Viet Erlita, Data Information Service Manager, SIVOR, and of course the moderator, Mr. Adam Geran, CTA of the FAO Indonesia. Participant ladies and gentlemen, very good morning to all of you and thank you for joining the session. Basically here in Kofekshil, Kuikshil Convention Center and also for those who are joining us virtually. First of all, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the hard work and dedication provided by the International Tropical Pitland Center, Secretariat, the Ministry of Environment Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia and all partners involved in organizing this session called a virtual collaborative platform help pre-serve tropical pitlands at the site event of the 15th World Forestry Congress in SIL Republic of Korea. It is my great honor to have this opportunity to address this session, to recall the establishment of the International Tropical Pitland Center as an important platform for short-sought collaboration and to reflect our achievement and of working together for the past three years and to share our experiences and lessons learned in managing tropical pitlands to achieve our national development agenda while contributing to the international commitment including raising our climate ambition. Distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen, if I may recall in March 2018, global champions for climate action were scientists, policy makers, practitioners were brought together during the Global Pitland Initiative thought meeting in Brasoville Republic of Congo. Strong short-sought exchange commitments by Indonesian and Congolese governments were captured in the Brasoville Declaration on Pitlands as an outcome. The Declaration encourages cooperation between government sectors to protect the benefit provided by the tropical pitlands. Since then, partners and countries have been working together to mobilize political will and resources to protect the pitlands in Congo and the tropics based on the best available science. As a strong short-sought collaboration, the Ministry of Environmental and Forestry Republic of Indonesia hosted the ministers of Congo and government representatives from Democratic Republic of Congo for a working week and two loans, the International Tropical Pitland Center or ITPC in October 2018. The ITPC was built on the principle of true cross-sector collaboration and integration, wielding a resilient and holistic platform for science, policy and practice, and attracting the best minds working on research and practice in this field. The center encourages and brings together interdisciplinary scientists, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to work together on tropical pitland research and practice as a key input for policy making. Distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen, the establishment of ITPC will be an important platform for short-sought collaboration and advanced implementation of the UN Environment Assembly or UNIA resolution on conservation and sustainable management of pitlands. Indonesia and supported by other member states and relevant stakeholders have successfully convinced the UN Environment Assembly to agree on the resolutions, which also shows Indonesia's commitment to collaborate with the UN Environment's Member States and other stakeholders to provide greater emphasis to conservation, sustainable management and restoration of pitlands worldwide in support of the sustainable practice of the pitland management. This could be true capacity-building, knowledge-engined, synergized and collaborative actions in managing tropical pitlands ecosystem in a sustainable manner and safeguarding pitlands ecosystem services that evolve from the interests of irrelevant international organizations, member states, and other stakeholders. Distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen, since its inception in October 2018, the ITPC has hosted and participated in many international forums in its effort to promote sustainable management of tropical pitlands. Various knowledge sharing and actions have also been organized in collaboration with both international and national partners. I'm delighted that the ITPC is currently building a knowledge platform that can be used as a go-to place for information on pitlands, connecting knowledge and research to people. The platform can also be used as a tool for knowledge exchange and capacity-building. Act as a media for a community of practice on sustainable pitlands as well as help disseminate policy and best practice experiences on sustainable pitland management. The platform enables people to share their knowledge and expertise and facilitate the submission of access to documents, lessons, discussions, etc. to transfer experience and knowledge on tropical pitlands. The pitland knowledge platform serves as a go-to place where people can find and use publicly available knowledge and expertise relating to pitlands. To conclude my remarks, we welcome other countries with pitlands to join the ITPC. We wish we will be able to gather and exchange our knowledge and experience directly on the ground. ITPC welcomes the contribution of multistakeholders including international organizations, universities, research centers, and private sectors to support the short-sought cooperation and knowledge platform through the ITPC. I wish this session will provide a better understanding of synergize that derives from coordinated actions on pitlands amongst stakeholders, identify major gaps and limitations for safeguarding pitlands, and identify suitable policies and actions for implementation, for conserving, sustainably managing, and restoring pitlands that involve a multitude of actors. I thank you for your kind attention. Thank you very much Dr. Agus Giustianto for that opening remarks and for your guidance and inspiration for us to go forward with the session. As the opening is always the opportunity for a big picture view. Thank you for that. Ladies and gentlemen, now we've come to the part where we get into the more technical parts of the presentation. Without wasting time, I think we can move straight into that and I am very pleased to welcome the first presenter Dr. Ibu Haruni-Krisnawati. You have 10 minutes, the floor is yours. Thank you. She is the coordinator for the International Tropical Pitlands Center in Indonesia. Thank you. Thank you Adam for introducing me. Good morning everyone and distinguished speakers and also the moderator, audience who are joining us here in this room and also joining us online. Thank you. There will be the opportunity for me to share about the development of ITPC Knowledge Platform, Connecting Knowledge and Research to People. And I am Haruni-Krisnawati as introduced by the moderator, Mr. Adam Geran, coordinator for the ITPC Secretariat, but also I am the principal researcher. As mentioned earlier by the Dr. Agus Giustianto that ITPC Knowledge Platform is a go-to place for information on pitlands and provides space for users that you can browse, search and also contribute the variety of knowledge products. And the platform actually has two main users, a knowledge user and also the knowledge providers. The knowledge user can be researcher, academics, policymakers, students and all members of the public seeking reliable data to build and boost their own analysis for their own needs. And also for the knowledge providers, it can be research organization, government agency and private organization. The objective of the Knowledge Platform is first, it can be a tool for knowledge exchange and capacity building. And the second, it can act as a media for a community of practice on sustainable pitlands. Third, it can help disseminate policy and best practice experience on sustainable tropical pitland management. It can promote the birth of new knowledge on pitlands. It can enable secondary use by disseminating and communicating available knowledge of course on tropical pitlands and to increase the awareness and discoverability of pitland related open data. And of course, it will be a place to provide a platform on which to release, capture and showcase all relevant and publicly available knowledge relating to pitland information. The APTPG Knowledge Portal, if you can see here, this is the interplatform and how the people interaction. And this diagram here illustrates how people use the Knowledge Portal and how the portal platform interacts with other platforms. Who are the users and how the platform are interconnected, how to manage the contents update and et cetera. And alternative of how the updates are managed and when partners cannot afford. Next. This is the architecture of the platform consisting of knowledge repository and then expert directory. And in the future, would like to have the collaborative platform knowledge repository consisting of the outputs and activity related to the pitland information and also cover the metadata on publication, data set and et cetera. While expert directory kind of expert database providing profile of the expert and links to their work available online. Expertise group per subject and subject and also maybe some of you already familiar with legally but on specific subject. And this also be tool to enable people to reach out to the expert. And collaborative platform community of practice forum and maintain love of discussion for future friends, access privilege and tools to enable people to discuss, consult and share information at the end and thoughts. Next. And this is the entity of a relationship. I will not be talking about this, but this is the behind the scene how the platform has been developed. Next, please. And the most important thing of this platform is how we can build and we can interact with the expert and we have the structure of expert directory and scale consisting of education, qualification, how they position and whether they are members of the affiliation and also some other profiles that will be potential to be included in the expert territory. Next. And we have so far about more than 2000 authors or expert list in this directory. Of course, it can be more because we are having more interaction or more contacts with many, many authors, many experts on pitlands. And of course we need to comply with GDPR, general data protection regulations to get the permission from the authors, from the expert to add their details on the website. And this is just the example of how we can meet pitland experts. Next. This is, if we can see the expert by country origins or a lot of countries with pitland that can be joined here. And of course we are open for anyone, for the audience here to be part of this expert. So we can have the build of huge expert for the tropical pitlands. We can interact directly with the expert. Next. And this is just the expert information, which is being managed using FIFO. And this is actually open source software and an autology for representing scholarship and enable the discuss free of research and scholarship across discipline. I think our colleagues for the next speaker will be having a lot of experience based in Soviet. We're having more experience on this. Next please. And the information on the expert, it can be a profile skills related with books and all publication with each have altmetrics with score and citizen numbers and showing to highlight the popularity of the publication, how they serve the users. We can click for each author, for each expert. Actually this is just an example. Next. And the netbook. We can see this is still, if the expert or the authors already have a lot of netbooks, then the figures here can be like what we call it's complicated because they have a good netbook. This indicating that the expert of the author have a very broad network. And yeah, we can just later on in the ITBC website tropical pitlands.org. So we can see which expert, which author actually has been put or give the permission to to the ITBC to be put all their details in this. Next. And this is the map of science provides a representation of the research area of each profile as a map of sign. As you can see here the size of the bubbles indicates the relative numbers of paper in that area. And the colors indicate the subject area. And the connection on the maps indicate the co-author tendencies of author and each of the discipline. And we can see here the disciplines are grouped on the map by co-author tendency. I think for scientists, for researchers, for practitioners who have a very keen on knowledge on pitlands, I think will be great to have this kind of maps on it. Next. What we have done with ITBC with the current developments that's at the moment, we are still in the static mode as metadata. And the current feature is to encourage outputs discovery, expert finding and network analysis. And next, what we expect, it can be dynamics. So we will add have additional function and feature that meet the static directory becoming more interactive. So each expert's knowledge providers can interact directly with knowledge user. And knowledge user would like to have more interaction with the expert, with the actor directly can use this platform. This is the next step that we will be moving forward to the development. And of course, we are inviting data providers, knowledge producer to submit their work and make it available to the public under agreed data sharing protocols. I think that's all that next. Yeah, we can share regarding the development of knowledge platform on tropical pitland. Of course, we are inviting the knowledge providers, whether this is from researcher, from scientists, from policy makers like from private sector, from international organization, from the university, we have prof BamBam and other audience who can contribute to the discipline of course, under agreed data sharing protocols. And you can go to our websites, www.tropicalpitlands.org, you can find this information and you can meet pitland expert there. Thank you very much. Firstly, thank you for going through the platform and explaining to us right very clearly on what the platform is and how it works. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a slight change in the agenda that we have online. I understand Agus Giustanto has another important engagement, but he wants to do a small item just now in slight change in the program. So please allow Agus to come up. Thank you. Yeah, I actually really want to read this. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you very much for the present and apologies for the interruption to the flow of the program. But this is a really important document actually that Agus has just given, the operational plan for Indonesia's net sink in the agriculture, forest and land use areas. In fact, the forest, not the agriculture, but the forest area to 2030. So this is actually quite an important document that Indonesia has been working on. And the pitlands are going to form, I'm sure, an important part in achieving that very ambitious goal. So I look forward to reading the details about that as well. Sorry for that little diversion, but now I would like to get back onto the program. And I want to welcome our next speaker, Sufiet Erita, who is going to talk to us about the lessons learned from information systems on like the platform that we're talking about today. So Ibu Sufiet, the floor is yours. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. What I would like to share with you today is actually a proposal for us or for any of pitland actors to collaboratively working, and we want to to collaborate collaboratively working with us in the lesson learned database that is going to be implemented by ITPC. Thanks. Okay, so we know that the lesson learned information is always shared with us and then the information that we are trying to find on the lesson learned kind of information, what went well, what did not go well, what we can do differently or what can we do for the future project is always shared with us. But unfortunately, there's a problem with the process of transferring this kind of information. Usually or very often that information of lesson learned is published into a document, whether it is in a book, technical report, or working paper. The problem with that is that the information is not fully captured, and it's not fully analyzed, and it's not fully validated into a repository or into a deposited system. And then sometimes it is very difficult to find to extract the information. And because it is published in a document, whether it is in a book, working paper, or technical report, the metadata that we have often described about the document itself, but not about what is the lesson learned, what is the best practices that we have in that document. So with that current situation, sometimes we are unable to acquire the knowledge that we need. So the access to the lesson learned is limited because of the sometimes the information is confidential, and it's also only available for the small group of people. There's also the problem of the lack of systematic systematic documentation of the knowledge gained from the project, and the tendency of the organization to capture the information only for failure and the success. ITPC is proposing to you all to have a systematic process for capturing the information. What we are going to do is gain the knowledge gained from the Pitland project, put it into a lesson learned database. So it's not going to be in a format of publication. So we are going to have an enriched metadata specifically for the information of the lesson learned, what it is about, what's the problems. So it's not about the title of the publication, but it is about the title of the best practices. What is the problems, the metadata that we are going to have on the information system, the lesson learned information system, is about the lesson learned stuff. So we're going to have robust knowledge in a one single unified platform which we hope that it's going to break the silos in the knowledge sharing process. Probably we are not aware of the, while we are doing the knowledge sharing, we sometimes doing it inside in silos. So it's the knowledge except it's not really shared. So the document will be codified and documented. So the user will have a make sense to about the information and we are people will connect it through the lesson learned system. So you will have the information, not just about the lesson learned or the best practices, but you also have information about whom to contact for one specific problem. And the whole things will be standardized process on the lesson learned, using lesson learned by practitioner. So please note that those are going to key in the information is not ITPC, but you. Ibu Haruni has shared with you the diagram. I will give you a glimpse description of what it is about. So the knowledge platform structure is have 11 assets, what we call as an asset. One is publication, dataset, video presentation stories and all of that. And that are actually documented into different kind of databases, but we are going to integrate them into three profile. First is the collaborator profile, funder profile and the project profile. The lesson learned itself will embedded in the project database. So what are we going to provide to you is that a story, a full story of what it is about in one project that's specific about one topic or one keyword that you need. We would like to streamline the knowledge acquisition process. For your work practices and experience, you are going to process and reflect what the what the post project review and then you're going to the document information systematically into the information system that we are going to distribute access and use. Okay, next. To give you a glimpse about a kind of teaser about the structure of the lesson learned, the database is that it's going to have information about title and short description of the project and how can other replicate the success or improve the project. It's going to have information on best practices, which is categorized into topic cluster and supported by keywords. I think that's all from me. Thank you very much. That was a bit of a shock for me as well. I'm sorry. Thank you very much, Ibu Sufit, about that, telling us in more detail on the platform and some of the technical aspects of it. I think this is very useful to understand how it's intended to operate for the users, but the users and also for those who are going to contribute the information and the data. Without further ado, firstly, thank you for saving some time as well, because we are pushing the time, but I'd like to move on to our next speaker, Pakma Mohamed Askarri, from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. He is the head of the sub-directed for the sources of control of peatland and ecosystem degradation within the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Pakaskarri, the time is yours. Thank you. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Have a very good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depend on where you are right now. Thank you. Today, I would like to share the – could you help me, because something on my screen? Okay, thank you. Today, I would like to share the Government peatland knowledge platform, which is sharing of Indonesia's experience in peatland restoration. So basically that I would like to go through to the technical aspect of the experience that we have, then finally I will share the platform that we already established. It is ready to be integrated with the platform which already has been established of the ITPC. So that my presentation will be a quick background concept and achievement also the conclusion. So just as a reminder for all of us, so basically the black dot there is where the 180 countries have the peatland. The peatland only – the 3 percent of the world land, however, it's storing nearly 30 percent of its soil carbon, including from the tropical peatland ecosystem in our country, which is Indonesia, which is – Indonesia has the largest tropical peatland in the world, which is about 24.6 million hectares, which store 46 gigatons of the carbon. But we're still facing this challenge until today as the background. So thank you for the colleague from BC4. I take the – as the background picture here. The challenge that we still have right now until today is there's a huge or massive drainage in our country. So it drained the soil, drained the peatland, because 90 percent of the peat area consists of water. So we went dry, so it will create the dry peatland and easily to be burned by the local community when they open for the area. This is the map of Indonesian peatland area, where it lies in the 865 peatland hydrological unit, as we can see from this map. It has been divided into two functions. The first one is protection function, and the second one is cultivation function, and two of them is almost 50 to 50 percent. Regarding regulation, we have established at least about 32 regulations now regarding the peatland protection and management, which start from 32 years ago, which is through the CAPRES or present-day CL decree number 32 in 1990. Then now we already – he deregulated, so we just follow the regulation basically right now, because there has been so many knowledge has been spread out, and we have implemented so far. This is one of the long term. This is the first in the world, I think. I do believe we have national long-term planning for peatland protection and management until next 30 years, until 2049, so it has been stipulated to our minister, and also we have also the guideline, so that at the national level, we have a guideline and policy, and also that also for the professional level and also for the district level. Just to remain for all of us regarding the forest and land fire, there are three main contributing factors. The first one is the weather, but the weather is not in our control. It's under the control of the Almighty God, and the second one is the land itself, the peatland. So we have a very big challenge there, as I've shown before, and the third one is the human. So if we want to do a good protection and management of the peatland, we have to take in consideration these three factors, which is the biggest factor is the human being, so that's why we have to go to the human being. This is a concept that we say in our country, three R plus one. The first one is how to restore and preserve the water, bring back the water, because 90% of the peatland is the water, and how to restore and preserve the vegetation, because there's many areas has been land cleared, also from in the industrial area and also in the construction area and also in the community area. The third one improves the local community livelihood, because the community basically that yeah, they want to earn some money, so they just do the slash and burning. And the last one, of course, that we have to do also the law enforcement. That's the way we try to face our challenge in our country. This is some of the example that we have done so far. So we put the canal blocking to bring back the water, because the water in the peatland areas coming from the rainfall, so we have to stop it from running out from the peatland area. And also that we have done many rehabilitated vegetation, and also that we have some commodities we carry out, we try to plan in the community areas. This is the concept of the social transformation through what's so called in our Bahasa is Desama and Paduli Gambo, all self-sufficient and peatland care community, where we cannot leave the community. They already have known the very good knowledge on how to do the management of peatland area. Through this mechanism that we are in collaborative with the local government or local university, and then we recruit the two facilitator for each of the village, then we carry out the training for them, how to establish the institution framework for them, and also the rapid rural appraisal or E-mask identification of the problem and the situation analysis. And then we they will create what's so called the RKM or bottom up planning, what they want to do. So through this process that we have, there's an improvement of social economy and environment. Also that the behavioral changes, because normally that they do this lesson burning, but now that after the education, they already know how to do in the appropriate way if they want to use the area. This is some of the example that we do also the how to improve the water management in the congestion area, just showing us of the picture that I myself do so. This is a canal blocking the community area. What I've shown here that we can find all of the picture, all of the activities in the our website. So this is, you can see there, when we put the canal blocking the water level is higher. And in the right and the left side that they, we developed also the demonstration plot. So until now that we already plan more than 67 commodities that has been grown in Petton area. Normally that we use the three generation of the plant, the first one can be harvested in the less than eight months, mostly on the vegetables. And then the second one is the second generation can be harvested from eight to 24 months, like a pineapple, something like that. And the third one is that can be harvested for more than 24 months. So that three generations of vegetation should be implemented in the community area. Otherwise they will keep burning. And for the last one that including the Jelutung, the Soraya Blangaran, whatsoever, many, many trees that has been also developed there. This is one of the product of the TECA PPG or Desamanduri Pelerigambut which is goes international at the G20 in Yogyakarta few weeks, few months ago. So this is the product. So that has been spread out and sell internationally in Bali. This is the achievement that we already have so far. So that through this moment as per of 25 April 2022, we have restored the hydrological function of the Petton area in the consistent area more than 3.6 million hectares. So it's a huge number. And also for the community area from the midst of environment forestry, 49,000 hectares, but including for the BRG, it's already 900,000 hectares for the BRG because they are larger because there are much more efforts on the non-consistent area. And also we have put the sum compliance point, more than 10,000 compliance point that we already have installed right now. This is a distribution of the area of the community area that we have done so far. So there's also that through this program, we achieved some of the SDGs goals involving the women and also some others. This is just the example that we can see directly through our website that as I said before, it's easily to be interlinked with the platform that has been developed by the ITPC. So you can see directly, this is the work we have done so far. So we can prove it to the world that we have done what we have said. As you can see here, this is the canal blocking on my left side here. This is the canal back feeling. So we put back the pit on the canal. And that's one is on my far way there. You can see that the blue dot there, there's some white soil back. You can see there. And this is also that has been installed there, the CIPALAGA, which is from our colleague from the BRG. This is a real-time monitoring in the community area. This is the automatic FDRS signboard in communities area that we have been installed in many places in our country. So this is a kind of simple buoy, something like that. So if they put the canal blocking, it will stop the water flowing out, then it will rise up. So it's free. I mean, it's safe, the area. So this is kind of a simple one. This is the correlation. You can see here, the water is before putting the canal blocking is more than one meter below the ground. But now it's rising up. Yeah, about 0.4, something like that. This is the SIMATAG. This is one of, I do believe this is the largest monitoring system in the world right now, because it lies in the 3.6 million hectares of the Qantas area, which is monitoring day-to-day monitoring also b-weekly. For the day-to-day, it's using the data loggers. But for the manual one, it's using b-weekly. So we have installed more than 10,000 compliance points. You can see here, the red color is the canal blocking. The blue dot is the manual one. The red dot is the data loggers and also the ombrometer. We have installed there. So it has been launched by the Ibu Mentri at the time. In three years ago, the Asan Passive Forestry at the time, also Ibu Haruni there. This is a new platform. But this one, I will not share that today, because it has not been launched. It will be launched soon, hopefully by 6th of June, the CPAC. This is the latest, the new integrated information system to monitor, to evaluate, to predict. This is a dynamic modeling, the real-time one. And I do believe this is the first time in the world. So you can see overlaid directly here, the water monitoring level in the consistent area and also in the community area, and also the hotspot and fire weather index, the drought code, whatsoever, and can be used when we have to do. And we can do also predict until the next 10 days, as you can see here. So we have integrated of the system. So it will be easily, as I said, to be integrated to the ITPC platform, if that's needed. This is just an example that mostly the hotspot now is not in the Pitland area, but in the mineral soil outside of the consistent area. You can see there, so that most of the hotspot outside of the consistent area, the blue color means that the water levels is flooded, so above the ground of the of the Pitland area. Okay, thank you. And this is some other examples. Okay, I will go through, okay, sorry, the time is up. So this is some of the achievement. The point that I would like to say today that Indonesia is ready to share its experience in Pitland protection management to other countries as a coherent action on elevating global climate change. And this is some of their website that you can access some of the information. And also I would like to thanks all of the collectives has been done collaborative for our country, including the GF, the IFAT, the KFC, the GIZ, also the FIAO for sharing the sepal for us. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Askarri. And my apologies for cutting you off because you had a lot of really interesting information and I hope what the slides will be available and people can look later at that information. I hope if that's okay. And I also wanted to keep the time at the end for allowing people to ask questions because what you presented was so interesting. So without further ado, though, I think we do need to move on. And I hope we have our colleague online. I hope our Korean colleague Choi Hoon Soon is available. Can I confirm that he can hear us and we can hear him? Yeah, I can hear you. Very good. We hear you very clearly and we look forward to your speech. Let me just introduce you. He is the Director General, the Director of the Global Forestry Research Division within the National Institute of Forest Science in Korea. We are very pleased to have him as one of our speakers here today and we look forward to the presentation. If Pa Anga, if he had slides or is he sharing remotely? Okay, we're going to share the slides from here. So we hope that you can all see them online. Dr Choi Hoon, can you see them? Yeah, I can see my friend. Okay, and we can hear you clearly. The floor is yours. Over to you. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Hyun Soon Choi, working in Nifos in Republic of Korea. I'm very pleased and honored to present in this wonderful session on a very important topic. I'd like to thank you, Adam, a moderator from FAEUR, and Dr I was used to another Director General of SFM and MEF Indonesia. In fact, there are no pitlands in Korea. So the pitland is a very strange, strange environment to Korean forest or ecosystem researchers. Nevertheless, we have been closely cooperating with Indonesia in the forest field to actively restore pitlands. Next slide, please. Can you? Okay, and next, please. Yeah, pitlands also play a very important role in carbon absorption. So protecting or restoration protect, pitland is very crucial. At the same time, it is also very important to device measures to prevent present negative effects of pitland protection on local livelihoods. Today, I would like to explain the research contents and plans of the pitland in cooperation with the C4. Unfortunately, we have not yet established a deep partnership with ITPC. However, we expect to closely collaborate with ITPC in the future as pitland research proceeds. Today, I will tell you the contents of our research that we have been conducting to product and restore pitlands in Indonesia through a joint project with the C4 in Indonesia. Next slide, please. Okay, I think you know this better than I do. Simply speaking, the important thing is pitland has high carbon storage capacity. It is more than 10 times higher than that of normal soil. This means it has a high potential to contribute to carbon neutrality. The area of pitland in tropical areas, including wetlands and forests from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Central Africa is 42 million hectares, and it is estimated to have accumulated about 148 giga carbon dioxide tons. Next, please. In particular, 47% of the world's tropical pitlands are found in Indonesia. They are used in the form of a wide pitstone and pitstone forest in the lowlands around the major rivers. But as you see this figure, pitlands are particularly vulnerable to damage from slash and bun, forest fires, drainage, and pretension expansions. Issues relating to food security, moreover, are continuing to threaten pitlands. Therefore, preventing pitlands degradation and maintaining important sources of carbon storage is crucial to fighting and resisting climate change crisis. Next, please. This picture shows the collaboration with the NYFOSNC for, as well as other partners involved in this research project. To save time, I'll just skip this part. Next, please. From this point, I will go over the details of our research and what I've been doing so far. Please note that this content is based on research that was conducted over the course from last year to the present. So it is done yet complete and ongoing. It includes research that will be carried out in the next four years, in totally five years. Next, please. The title of our research project is a study of the ODA application through a community development model near pitlands in Indonesia. And we wish to achieve the following goals through this project. One, technological development of the pitland greenhouse gas reduction assessment and development of a community development model for the restoration of the forest pitlands around the site C4 and NYFOS joint research science and technical demonstration of the ODA project for Indonesian pitlands. You can see the main subject of this project. Next, please. This is an overview of the project. As you can see, our end goal is to create a forest for the recovery of pitlands and evaluating the amount of greenhouse gas reduction that can contribute to the NDC and developing a model for community development. Next, please. Yeah. Our research site is a pedigree village in South Sumatra province in Indonesia. As we all know, because of the pandemic last two years, our research could not go to this site, but we expect to be able to go this region in this summer season, June or July. Next, at the beginning of the study, we faced difficulties from afforestation in the pit area due to COVID-19 pandemic last year. Nevertheless, in cooperation with the C4, we were able to make incremental progress through regular online meetings. We selected a species such as Neampollon and Malapari that would adapt and grow well in our selected area. Currently, we have prepared a construction site about 10 hectares for afforestation. Originally, afforestation was scheduled for early this year, but it has not been carried out because the water has not drained in this area. We expect it will be possible to plant trees after May or June. As I mentioned earlier, the selected species are Neampollon and Malapari. They were selected because they were used as an epiculture, biofuels, and medicine, and they are used because of their survival rate, rapid growth, and adaptability to devastation. Next. Second, the classic of land cover with the satellite images. A land cover was classified using satellite images. As you know, C4 provides pitland information and forest coverage change information, but we need to calculation of cover storage. We need to build Lulushev metrics exactly. So we use land cover maps provided by CGRS and S3, which are widely used internationally. The classification system of CGRS was modified to meet the 10 classification criteria of S3 land cover. And finally, through overlapping analysis with the C4's pit map, the matching point between CGRS and S3 land cover was extracted. So the most right map is the pitland area that was finally extracted. Through this, we will produce a pitland cover classification manual this year. Next, please. Third, research on community development. It is very important in terms of governance to carry out this project so as not to damage the lives and traditional knowledge of local communities. I'm sorry, but in this slide, there was some error. Sorry, I could not change this file. We tried to conduct a survey on whether the major social change of residents in this area, risk factors, and what are the important factors for the restoration of the pitlands. But the survey itself was too difficult to the COVID-19. The survey was very, very impossible and movement was almost impossible. But however, we know that following methods are very, very important in respecting traditionally accumulated knowledge and perceptions. We need to strengthen capabilities for financial support, processing, and technology. A pitland restoration model that maximizes local income is preferred through, is terribly mentioned about corporate system among regions, local governments, and local academies and donors. In addition, we will conduct a survey to identify crops preferred for the regional development model through the usable CVM method. Next. So, we found that local community's willingness to accept preferences and access to markets were all important considerations in developing this business model. Specifically, we would like to apply the agro-silver culture and agro-silver fishery model. As you know, agro-silver fishery model is to integrate agriculture for its tree and fishing to provide a way to make a living for the communities. Agro-silver culture model is a way of putting more weight on the restoration of native vegetation. Based on research cases such as soil reemergence, pit soil and forest restoration and revitalization of a local livelihood in the two mothers, we will apply this model through the case analysis in this year. Next, please. I don't have enough time, so when it comes to achieving SDGs, we expect that bitter land restoration will contribute positively to these goals. In addition, as a means of use for this, the concept of MBS is now in the spotlight. Next. And next, please. Yeah, to evaluate whether the expecting development model is based on MBS, we will need to check the survey period and subject, verify the severe results, and derive an evaluation results for IHC and the eighth criteria. So, I don't have enough time, I'll skip. Next, please. Yeah, next, please. Yep. As we all know, the global pandemic had a prevent as from visiting the study region in Indonesia. So, we mainly had to depend on regular video meetings and emails to conduct research and maintain contact with the C4M partners. Even this development, our plans are one, is maintaining continuous partnership with the C4 and two, evaluating ecosystem service value according to land use change scenario. And finally develop measures to expand the local residential participation and expandability to ODA projects for pit land restoration. As I conclude my presentation, I'd like to thank C4M partners once again for their dedicated cooperation. And I recently visited the ITPC homepage on the web several times. The platform is very well made, and the directory structure was very excellent. Especially, I think the pit knowledge and expert's directory was very wonderful. However, I hope that it would be more better if there are researchers, emails, or other contact information in expert direction. And we hope that our research materials can be shared more widely in our future cooperation with ITPC. Our researchers will also work toward this goal with the ITPC in this area. Finally, I will express my deep gratitude to my team member, Nochoi Aranyang, and other researchers. And also thanks to Dr. Himner in C4M. Okay, next please. Thank you for your attention. Dali Makasi. And Dali Makasi to you, Dr. Sun. Thank you very much for that presentation. I think this is an exact example of how something like this collaborative platform can allow international researchers with high quality science to come and to collaborate with other countries. Indonesia is a leading example, but I hope from the FAO side, through partnerships like the Global Pit Lens Initiative, we can also share this knowledge with other countries. Bearing in mind, we have limited time left. We are running a bit over, I'm sorry. But I will move straight on to our final speaker. Iwan Setiawan is the Deputy Director of Corporate Strategic Relations for Cinemas, Forestry and Indonesia. He is also online and I'm checking that he can hear us and speak. And we set up the slides so you can start. So please test your sound, Iwan. Yes, thank you. Can you hear? We can hear you very clearly and see you. And over the floor is yours. Thank you. Thank you very much. You have 10 minutes and we would like to be quick if we can to allow time for speakers. Question? Yes, thank you. Good morning everyone. Thank you for the opportunity that we can join to this event today. I will present about the experience of our activities in the field. So my presentation is technology implementation and commitment involvement, community involvement on sustainable pit lane management. So this presentation will describe how the FPP use technology for manage the pit lane and how we involve the community to work together to manage the pit lane in landscape, of course. Next please. Yeah, thank you. Next please. Yes, this is for introduction. For information that FPP Cinemas has already set up the sustainability roadmap vision 2030. The roadmap is the continuing of previous SRV 2020 that has been launched since 2013. And also we have for conservation policy that also launched in 2013. And we set up our SRV 2030 in order to support the achievement of Indonesian NDCs as well as the effort to tackle the climate change. So our effort will focus on three pillars. The activities covered in the production of forest and of course the people. The target is we will reduce about 30% of carbon footprint in 2030, protect and conserve more than half million hectares of forest and also improve the living of millions of people that live around our concession. And about the first conservation policy itself, it is launched in 2013. We have commitment to protect the high conservation value and high carbon stock natural forest. And also we will have responsible pit lane management and social commitment. And also we will have responsible traceable global supply chains. Next please. For the, yeah, this is the achievement of what our roadmap is. It's from fiber sourcing, of course. We already have 100% of our fiber supply is from sustainable managed plantation. And then 40% of our fiber is come from recycled material. And all of the 38 of plant, our public supplier concession are completed with ISF and with its integrated sustainable forest management plan. And also we have zero natural forest conversion by IPP since 2013. And for emission, we already 29% of carbon density decrease compared with the baseline. And then this is the number that maybe we can look in advance. Also we have restoration of next place for a forest station. We have 24,000 hectares with progress restoration. And then the conservation and biodiversity we conserve protect more than 500,000 hectares. Next please. Maybe we can skip the next. Now we talk about the pit lane management. So what we are doing is, of course, we need to identify the pit lane itself. And where is it, the location of our area. So we since 2015, actually before we also already identified, but it is doing particularly by its concession. So the method of our surveys, of course, the most we do is doing a terrestrial survey. This direct measurement from field using our optical survey equipment to determine the topographic and drilling to identify the pittiness. And then the next we also use the remote sensing survey use radar or LiDAR to get the topographic information. And of course, after that we can combine the result of the terrestrial and remote sensing surface. So this will be get more efficient method. Next. So this is what we have done in 2015. Because our concession is sliced from in the three provinces in Sumatra, this covered Rio province, Jambi and South Sumater province. And we know that in the our surrounding area is also pit. So we doing the LiDAR survey with aeroplane. And we have more than 11,000 kilometer flown over East Sumatra and West Kalimantan in 2015. And then we interpreted in the protest the survey. So we can collect the topographic map for the East Sumatra. This is covered more than 4.5 million hectares. So in the right figure, we can see the color of topographic. So the red one is the highest place and then gradually going to the sea with the color. So the green and the black is almost zero from a mean sea level. So now we can understand, we know that where is our location is in the pit landscape compared with our surrounding area. Next please. So if we make a long profile from north to south, so it is come from Rio, Jambi and South Sumatra province, we will know that there are many domes, many pit domes in the north east of Sumatra. In Rio we can define about four pit domes. And then in Jambi actually there's only a small area. And in the border between Jambi and South Sumatra, there is one dome, it's in Burpak and Sembilang and South Sumatra, there is one dome. Not only in the topographic, the black one, the black line, we also in the green line, we identify the height of canopy that cover in that area. So actually we can identify that actually from the every dome, actually there is still covered by a good vegetation in location. So based on the lighter, we can see that actually the pit dome in Sumatra is actually in a good protected and the canopy is still covered by high canopy. So it means that it consists from the natural forest. So next please. So based on the topographic area, so we need to manage the water level because we are working in natural production forest, the government natural production forest. So we need to have planned it to develop industrial plantation forest in the in the VF obligation. So we need to manage the water level that should be different between the natural area and then also in the buffer zone and also in the production forest. So every difference of 50 centimeter, we set up a different zone. So every zone, we every water zone, every water zone, we can manage the water because there is a similar head. So we can manage the water level in every zone regularly. So next please. Sorry to interrupt, but we've reached the 10 minutes. Could you, if you have a final conclusion inside, could you just move to the next? Next please. Yes. Yeah, this is, we have shown the previously, previously, yeah, yeah, this is the, we based on our data, we interface with the fillets outside of our concession. So there are, we help, next please, we help the fillets to define water management in their area. We create the water sonation in fillets. So the people can manage the area is correctly, yeah, next. So we have. Is this your final slide? Next one, the conclusion. So we will get to the conclusion, please. Conclusion. Thank you. This is the conclusion. So we, we will have a benefit for every stakeholder for company for fillets. And also, so the conclusion is, we need to manage the land as in landscape approach. So we need collaboration from multi-sector. And of course, we need improvement to, to capacity building to the fillets. I think this is the, the share of our experience. Thank you for the opportunities, thanks back to you, Adam. Thank you. Thank you very much for, for, and I'm sorry for cutting you off, but I do want to leave time for some questions because we've had so many interesting presentations with so much information. And thank you very much for sharing that with us. So now we, we do have time. We have five minutes for some questions. I'm sorry, that's less than we anticipated. And I see some, some hands already got three hands up. Can I also hang up? Can you monitor and see who is putting their hands up or questions in the chat? Because I haven't looked at those. So I'm going to need to look at those first. So if you don't mind, I appreciate those who have here, physically in the room. But if you want to go first, and then I recognize the lady had her hand up. And I think the colleague from the back. So we have three questions here. I apologize for the colleagues online. I hope we can answer those through the chat, if not already done. Thank you. Pat. Okay. Thank you very much. My name is Bambahir Sarjo. I'm from IPV University, working on forest fires and also greenhouse gas emissions. I have two questions. First, to Prabharoni and also next for Pascari. Thank you very much for your excellent presentation for Prabharoni. But the question is, you know, actually there is many, still many researchers, many group, big group that produce research, result of research. Then how can you encourage those groups? For instance, like my group, for instance, we are working on fire for pit pyre to sleep for 10 years, funded by NASA, and also working Max Plan, et cetera. I think it's better to share our publication, our result to your platform. Second one to Pascari. Again, thank you very much for excellent presentation. Even you say that you have, you know, the model that maybe number one in the words. My question, simple question is how we guarantee all those things could be on the track for the next several years. Because sometimes, you know, if there is no touch to this project, then everybody gone somewhere. So maybe you have some suggestions. Thank you very much. Okay. Thanks for the question. Do we want to respond quickly now to those two points? I'm not sure who's going to respond on Ibu Huruni, perhaps on behalf of the, how do we encourage the researchers? And then Pascari, if you could get ready for responding quickly. Thank you. So Ibu Huruni, do you want to come here or take the mic there? Thank you for your question. Be visible if you stand so that you can see yourself in the thank you. You either come here or stand. So you're in the Yes. That's good. Now we can see you. Thank you for your question. It's a great question. That's we are expecting by sharing this platform that we are developing. We would like to encourage and of course, invite the Pitland or expert Pitland people to contribute to join this platform. And of course, we are really very welcome. And as we mentioned earlier, this will be related with GDPR like a general boy college data protection regulation regarding the details. If they already give permission, we would like to put everything there. But at least the public, the public's data can be put there. And thank you for your collaboration and we would like to follow up this later on. Thanks, Adam. Okay. Thanks, Ibu Huruni. Pascari, please. Thank you very much for a very good question from Professor Bambang Hero. So basically that now we are on the way to establish the team who will day to day monitor the activity of the website. And hopefully that the website will be used as our website, not our, I mean, that can be used also for the public. But of course, there's some limitation of the access but for the public, yes, there will be. Thank you. That is very good news. I think this is one fantastic result already of the collaboration opportunities. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, we do, it's 11.30 and I'm aware that we have come to the official time and but I don't want to stop the discussion. The room is still available here and I hope colleagues online you can stay if you want. I still see quite a few people here. So if you allow us, I will continue with the two questions. I see the audience is still interested. So if we can have the next question from Ibu. Yes, please. And then the next question get ready. And then, Anger, can you tell me if there's questions online? Thank you very much. My name is Rila Stari. I work for National Research and Innovation Agency. I will have one question to Choyong. So as you mentioned before, the the species that you will plant in the project is included Nyampung. I do believe that Nyampung is also suitable for a pitland. However, in some area in Sumatra, the market is still not exist. But if we could build this kind of market, it will be very valuable, especially for the community who live around the pitland. So what is your opinion about that one? Because the market is still available in Java but not still exist in Sumatra. And as your limitation that you mentioned before, it is related to the restriction to go to the survey. But I do believe that because you have some project collaboration with Alhaka Palembang, it will be more efficient if we could like go through that area so that it will be more efficient. Thank you very much. Thanks for the question. My apologies. Was that directed to somebody in particular? Oh, Pat Choy. Thank you, Pat Choy. Please answer. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for your question. As I mentioned in my presentation, we have been collaborating with CIFR in Indonesia. And because we don't have some information about Indonesian species, so we only have to receive the concept or the knowledge from the Indonesian researchers. So you mentioned that Malapari is not, you have some some option or some source of the Malapari species. And okay, we we will meet the CIFR partners and selection species is very important. So we we will meet our researchers and discuss about that. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Sun. The next question, please, from the floor. And then we have three questions from the online audience if we can take just those three. Thank you. Okay. Thanks, Adam. My name is Satri Oadiyu Jaksono. I'm from the European Forest Institute. My question is actually for Ibu Sufiit and maybe to Ibu Haruni as well. Ibu Sufiit, because you were talking about knowledge management and there are many different types of knowledge. I mean, yes, there is this knowledge from the experts through publications and so on. But then there are also knowledge that is processed by local communities and practitioners that are used to pitland restoration have been conducting that for years. There's also another type of knowledge which is tacit knowledge that is often difficult to express. So are there plans through the knowledge platform to capture those kinds of knowledge? And if so, can you tell us more about ways to do so? Thank you. Thank you, Agus. Well, actually, the plan is for the last one, for the tacit knowledge. We would like to document all the tacit knowledge through the lesson learned. So when you're asking about those three kinds of knowledge, the knowledge from the local knowledge and then the tacit knowledge and the knowledge from the publication, the knowledge from the publication is already implemented from the repository. These two actually will be implemented or recorded through the one that is going to be implemented, the system that is going to be implemented. It's not there yet. So we can't show you on how it is going to be. But we are going to reach all the partners and collaborators and also organization that is interested to build this lesson learned information system. So it's going to be more, the information is going to be, I mean, not the information, the structure of the data is going to be what we are needed now. And we hope that it can answer all the question, not just about the local knowledge that we gain from the project, but also the tacit knowledge that used to belong to not just individual, but also the small group of people like project teams or a specific organization. I hope that helps. Thank you for that answer. And I know I did promise to try and get the online questions. And there are three of them. And I hope that the two of those questions have been directed to Bhaskari. So I hope he might have a few minutes to perhaps even reply in the chat. I don't think the Zoom meeting needs to be closed. But I do want to just read out one part of it because I think it's really important for those in the room who haven't seen it. The start of the question was from Busti Anshua Anchari. He says, good morning. I would like to congratulate Bhaskari for his good presentation. And he has a question about the canal maintenance blocking infrastructure. I think this and the other online questions to Bhaskari, we will try and answer online. I am aware that some of the key people in this present, in the from the panel, also have some other meetings starting very soon that they have to go to. So I think at this point, I'm encouraging us to answer the questions that are online with an online response. And I apologize for for cutting that short. But I think we've had a very stimulating session generated justified by the questions coming in. And I hope they can be answered online. So from from that point of view, given that we have gone over time and I apologize for that, if I've not been able to keep to time doing due to so much information to share, let me just say in wrapping up that this has been actually a really interesting session for me as well, to be able to learn about the collaborative platform. And I hope that we're also able to contribute our FAO information on that. And I would like to say thank you to all the presenters who have presented today, and all of the participants who have been contributing and actively participating online. And finally, we come to the end of this session. And I really look forward to all of those who are interested in this collaborative platform to get actively engaged to sign up to contribute your information where possible, and also to learn from what is on the on the session. So in in final final, my final words are that we do have a small gift for the presenters. Please come forward at the end and we'll have a group photo. Thank you.
