Abstract
East Kalimantan province has 8.5 million forest area with mangrove coverage at least 174,000 ha (MOEF 2015), placed the province as one among five provinces with largest mangrove area in Indonesia. Based on available data, it is estimated that mangrove conversion activities from 2004 to 2015 had potentially contributed around 20% of carbon emission produced from all East Kalimantan land conversion.
