This study intends to find out how the government collaborates in managing peat ecosystems in the Meranti Islands Regency. This study uses a qualitative methodology and data analysis approach using Nvivo 12 Plus software. The findings of this study indicate that collaboration between the government and stakeholders has resulted in progress on peat restoration in the Meranti Islands Regency because the number of forests and land fires in the Meranti Islands Regency tends to decrease due to this collaboration. Nevertheless, there are still some obstacles to the cooperation, especially the cooperation between actors which is still inadequate because it has not fully involved the private sector. This research contributes in the form of recommendations for improving peat ecosystem governance by increasing the participation of private entities. This study also proposes that further research can comprehensively map the involvement of each stakeholder in the management of peat ecosystems in the Meranti Islands Regency.
