PT Hijau Alam Sejati – Peatland Restoration Feasibility & Due Diligence (Jambi)
PlanB conducted a comprehensive feasibility and due diligence study for a large-scale peatland restoration initiative with PT Hijau Alam Sejati in Jambi Province. The project covers a multi-village peat landscape with high fire risk, historic degradation, and strong livelihood dependence on drained peat systems.
The objective of the study was to assess the technical, social, environmental, and economic viability of long-term peatland restoration combined with community-based livelihood development and carbon finance.
Key components of the work included:
- Peat depth mapping, hydrological assessment, and fire risk analysis
- Land tenure, village boundary, and land-use diagnostics
- Carbon stock estimation and emissions reduction modelling
- Livelihood baseline and socio-economic vulnerability assessment
- Landscape-level restoration zoning and intervention planning
- Financial feasibility modelling for carbon, ecosystem services, and alternative livelihoods
- Governance and benefit-sharing mechanism design
The results provide a fully bankable foundation for peat restoration investment, aligning community livelihoods, climate mitigation, investor requirements, and long-term landscape governance. The project demonstrates PlanB’s ability to integrate ecology, finance, land tenure, and community systems into one coherent restoration model.
