View Vacancy - Senior Biodiversity and Nature Officer, SEO, Jakarta
Indonesia is a biodiversity superpower. It is home to 10% of the world’s flowering species, 12% of the world’s mammals, and 17% of the world’s birds. This biodiversity is contingent on immense habitats, with the world’s third largest tropical forest and the world’s largest area of coral reef. Indonesia’s actions are therefore critical to maintaining global biodiversity and delivering targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). However, according to the CBD, Indonesia’s biodiversity is threatened by habitat degradation and fragmentation, landscape changes and overexploitation. The UK has identified climate and biodiversity loss as priorities that if left unchecked threaten the future of humanity. In Indonesia, the UK’s development programme has climate and sustainability at its core, with interest from ministers and senior officials across the UK government to forge a close partnership with the Government of Indonesia. This builds on the UK’s forestry and land use programme, the UK being one of Indonesia’s longest-standing partners in the forest and land use sector. This partnership was strengthened at COP26, with the UK affirming its long-term commitment to cooperation with Indonesia to support delivery of its ambitious goal for its forest and land to a net carbon sink by 2030. Within that context, the purpose of this job is to consolidate and grow the UK Embassy’s work to support the Government of Indonesia’s biodiversity and nature ambitions and priorities.
