Key features of the three forest conversion moratorium scenarios using the LUCES model to determine current and future landscapes as well as ecosystem service supply

No. Scenario Description Remarks
1 Business as usual (BAU) - Protection for peat forest from conversion activities on a company scale (2011–2014)
- Illegal conversion of peat forest on a community scale
- No change in road network and market prices is assumed during the 15 years simulation
- Settlement distribution change based on the change in land demand and centre of economic activities
2 Extended moratorium (EM) Similar to BAU, plus:
- Extension of the period for protection of peat forest from conversion activities on a company scale (2011–2036)
- New oil palm and timber plantations on a company scale can only be established on mineral soil
- Same as BAU
3 Moratorium plus livelihoods (MPL) Similar to EM plus:
- Increasing the market prices for NTFP, agroforestry products and community timber by about 15 %
- Local demand for timber can only be supplied from community timber plantations
- Support the NTFP market chain, agroforestry products and community timber products
- Increase illegal logging litigation
- Other conditions are the same as BAU
