Indonesia had been identified as the third largest GHG emitter w orld-wide. More than 50% of the emission w as rooted from LULUCF , and a large part of it w as related with peat burning, draining and conv ersion. As the second biodiv ersity rich country with largest tropical peat land in the w orld, but at the same time experiencing unprecedented forest extraction and forest conv ersion, Indonesia has a v ery important role in deliv ering some ecosystem services to the global community . Forest extraction and conv ersion are integral parts of land transformation that is often complex and non-linear , and more ov er , v ery v ariable across Indonesia. At the national lev el, landscape transformation is driv en by international market, global/regional climate, such as El Nino that leads to forest fire, and is an aggregated manifestation of local driv ers and activities. Integrated assessment of the impacts of LULUCF on emissions and habitat fragmentation within sev eral global priority ecoregion in Indonesia is necessary to find spaces for harmonizing efforts on climate change mitigation, biodiv ersity maintenance and sustainable dev elopment.
