This module provides technical guidance on implementing revegetation of tropical peatland. The module describes technical aspects of revegetation degraded tropical peatland range from establishing activity goals, activity scope, time schedule, material and tools, personnel, and working procedure. Five technical aspects discuss within this module, those are: i) development and preparation of seed bank building and its supporting facilities; ii) preparation and recruitment of seedlings of peat swamp forest seeds, including its nursery; iii) land preparation and its planting activities; iv) monitoring of seeds on nursery and planted seedlings on the ground; and v) maintenance of planted seedlings.

Composition of agroforestry-based paludiculture delivers varied ecosystem services, products as well as environmental impact reduction. There is still a lack of knowledge about the agroforestry composition on rewetted peatlands. The objective of this study is to assess different compositions of agroforestry-based paludiculture for sustainable peatland management in Indonesian tropical peatland. The study methods are paludiculture species identification, provisioning services and valuation, stakeholder analysis, scenario analysis, and multi-criteria analysis. 16 potential paludiculture species were identified, namely Manggis (Garcinia mangostana), Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum.), Kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.), Bitter melon (Momordia charantia), Sagu (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.), Jelutung (Dyera costulata), Rotan (Calamus sp.), Gelam (Melaleuca cajuputi Powell), Gemor (Nothaphoebe coriacea), Ramin (Gonystylus bancanus), Tengkawang (Shorea spp.), Kemiri (Aleurites moluccana), Sindur (Sindora velutina Baker), Tuwa areuy (Derris trifoliata), Areuy carulang (Spatholobus ferrugineus), Ekor kucing (Uraria crinita). Three scenarios are developed: economic focus, biodiversity conservation focus, and nitrogen fixation focus. There are at least 14 primary stakeholders in the Indonesian peatlands. Private sectors and Governments are more aligned with economic focus. NGOs and Research Institutes are more aligned with biodiversity conservation focus scenario. Civil societies are more aligned with nitrogen fixation scenario. The result of the multi-criteria analysis showed that the economic focus scenario is the most recommended option for agroforestry-based paludiculture, and biodiversity conservation focus can be the alternative scenario. Hence, these two scenarios can go hand in hand for sustainable peatland management. The concept of agroforestry-based paludiculture can change the social dynamics around the peatlands. Further field experiments are urged to investigate the possibility and probability of these agroforestry-based paludiculture species.
