The development of the Peatland Stewardship Village (DMPG) is an effort to restore the peat ecosystem that involves the community independently to increase knowledge, awareness, abilities, and skills. The construction of the DMPG carried out by the Peat Ecosystem Protection and Management Working Team (TKPPEG) Semangat Baru in Teluk Panji III Village received good appreciation from the community and regional stakeholders because of the participatory community empowerment approach in developing the DMPG. TKPPEG Semangat Baru always involves the participation of the community and related stakeholders in the DMPG development process, starting from socialization, group formation, preparation of IMAS and RKM, exposure, implementation of RKM, partnerships, and collaboration. Overall, the TKPPEG Semangat Baru institution is still included in the "Developing" category because the role of the community and support from the Provincial and Regency governments has not been maximized. The Community Work Plan (RKM) from TKPPEG Semangat Baru was successfully implemented through activities that support efforts to improve the environment, gradually improve the economic conditions of local communities, and improve social status, which impacts the restoration of peat ecosystems.
