Panduan Registrasi AKKM/ICCA — Edisi Kedua

This second-edition registration guide, produced by Working Group ICCAs Indonesia (WGII) and authored by Kasmita Widodo, Cristina Eghenter, Cindy Julianty, Dewi Puspitasari Sutejo, and Aria Sakti Handoko, provides a comprehensive step-by-step process for indigenous and local communities wishing to register their conserved territories through the formal AKKM (Areal Konservasi Kelola Masyarakat) process. It is designed as a practical tool for community facilitators, NGO staff, and local government officers working with communities on ICCA documentation.

The guide covers the legal foundations for AKKM registration under both national law and international frameworks (including the Convention on Biological Diversity), the documentation requirements for establishing a community's governance, territory, and conservation activities, and the process for peer review by an independent panel. It also explains how registered AKKMs can be submitted to the ICCA Registry — the global database of territories and areas conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities — providing them with international recognition.

The guide reflects WGII's years of experience supporting communities through the registration process and incorporates lessons learned from the first edition. It is an essential operational reference for the growing network of communities, facilitators, and advocates working to formalise and strengthen community conservation in Indonesia within national and international frameworks.
