This paper develops an optimization framework to decide where reforestation and afforestation should happen first in Belitung Island to deliver the biggest gains for people and nature. The team integrates spatial data on land use, degradation, and ecosystem services\u2014carbon storage, water regulation, habitat quality\u2014then runs scenarios to identify high\u2011impact restoration zones under real\u2011world constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings show that targeting mosaic landscapes\u2014mixes of degraded forest, shrubland, and idle concessions\u2014can maximize co\u2011benefits. Prioritized areas simultaneously lock away significant carbon, buffer communities from floods, and reconnect habitat corridors. The framework also highlights trade\u2011offs: for example, maximizing carbon alone can shift plantings away from zones that most reduce flood risk. By making these trade\u2011offs explicit, the model supports transparent decision\u2011making among local governments, businesses, and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, the study is designed for policy uptake. It uses widely available datasets and open\u2011source methods so the workflow can be replicated by district planning offices. Stakeholders can adjust weights (e.g., to emphasize water security or biodiversity) and update inputs as better maps arrive. That flexibility matters as Belitung navigates post\u2011mining transitions and develops eco\u2011tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By focusing on outcomes people feel\u2014safer villages, cooler microclimates, better water quality\u2014this research links ecosystem restoration to daily well\u2011being. It directly advances SDG 15 (terrestrial ecosystems) while supporting SDG 13 (climate mitigation) and SDG 11 (resilient, green towns and cities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
