As a follow-up to the process of compiling data for use in periodic review document, as carried out through several meetings, the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve Management Coordination and Communication Forum (FKKP) held a meeting with all its members on 10 September 2024 at the Central Sulawesi Provincial Planning Agency (Bappeda) office. The meeting, supported by FORCLIME, was led by the Regional Secretary of Central Sulawesi Province, Dra. Novalina, MM., and aimed to:

- Provide the prepared Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve Periodic Review document to all members of the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve Communication Forum (FKKP).
- Provide information about the various activities implemented by each Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve FKKP member.
- Provide insights into the vision of the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve to all members of FKKP.
- Submit the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve Periodic Review Document directly to the Chairperson of the Man and the Biosphere-United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation Programme (MAB-UNESCO) Indonesia National Committee, Prof. Dr. Ir. Maman Turjaman, DEA.

The meeting resulted in a final draft document of the Periodic Review of the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve, which will subsequently be discussed at a meeting organized by the MAB-UNESCO Indonesia National Committee in mid-September 2024. Six other biosphere reserves will be invited to attend the meeting in addition to the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve. These six reserves are also in the process of completing their periodic review documents and encompass the Taka Bonerate, Leuser, Siberut, Bromo Tengger Semeru-Arjuno, Komodo and Tanjung Puting Biosphere Reserves. The final document will ultimately be submitted to the MAB-UNESCO Programme through the MAB-UNESCO Indonesia National Committee.
