Climate-resilient tree species have been identified for reforestation in Indonesia, by analysing traits of around 250 species of trees and other plants.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has recommended selected climate-resilient tree species for reforestation in Indonesia. Species chosen are native to Indonesia’s Kutai National Park. Trait analysis of around 250 species of tree and other plants identified species resilient to increasing fires and drought conditions. Two fire-resilient species identified are the native palm Borassodendron borneense and the hardwood tree Eusideroxylon zwageri known locally as Bendang and Ulin. They are described as strongly resistant to fire. Other climate-resilient species identified included Croton argyratus, Endospermum peltatum and Macaranga gigantea. It is recommended they are planted in buffer zones around fire-prone areas.
