The purpose of this research are to uncover and describing the role and strategy of Kalumpang women in DA-REDD+ program, that facilitated by KFCP. Ecofeminism approach used to finding Kalumpang women strategy, of looking at and treating nature. This  approach is also intended to review the extent to which women's Kalumpang involvement in the DA-REDD+ KFCP. DA-REDD+ KFCP pilot project is one of the global framework related to climate change mitigation, saving the environment, by integrating the economics and sustainable prosperity through carbon stocks. The research was conducted in the Kalumpang village, Mantangai Kapuas District of Central Kalimantan Province, with an ethnographic approach. The data obtained by observation, participation observations, documentations, studies secondary data and in-depth interviews with informants who have been. The result showed  that  women are  involved in a small part  program,  nursery and planting activities (reforestation), especially when filling the soil and planting seeds into polybags.While  gender  equality issues  who was appointed by  KFCP  in the implementation of the program, has not been able to embrace all levels of society. Strategy  undertaken  by  women  Kalumpang  also varies  confront of  the REDD+ program.  There  are  so enthusiastic  to follow  each set  of activities,  some are  then left and returned at the beginning of the activity.

AbstractPeatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland rewetting effectively stops these CO2 emissions, but also re-establishes the emission of methane (CH4).Essentially, management must choose between CO2 emissions from drained or CH4 emissions from rewetted peatland. This choice must consider radiative effects and atmospheric lifetimes of both gases, with CO2 being a weak but persistent and CH4 a strong but short-lived greenhouse gas. The resulting climatic effects are, thus, strongly time-dependent. We used a radiative forcing model to compare forcing dynamics of global scenarios for future peatland management using areal data from the Global Peatland Database. Our results show that CH4 radiative forcing does not undermine the climate change mitigation potential of peatland rewetting. Instead, postponing rewetting increases the long-term warming effect of continued CO2 emissions. Warnings against CH4 emissions from rewetted peatlands are therefore unjustified and counterproductive.

Important forest fire prevention developments of the Lombardy, Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions are highlighted in this study and a certain number of activities considered able to improve the situation are proposed.
