The Chosen President of the Republic of Indonesia Don't Make Social Forestry a Development Gear
Dahniar: The President must explain the position of PS in Indonesia's development
Jakarta - The Government of the Republic of Indonesia, through the President and relevant Ministries, must explain the position of Social Forestry (PS) in Indonesia's development. Whether PS is only limited to accessories in the development of Indonesia or also just as a flavoring in the NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) target, to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 29% by 2030.
"If PS is put in its real position, the answer is not in KLHK, but in the Indonesian President," said Dahniar Andriani from the Association for Community-Based and Ecological Law Reform (Huma), at the Stakeholder Strategic Meeting: Strengthening Social Forestry Contributions to Support the Achievement of NDC Targets Indonesia, at Century Park Hotel Jakarta, Tuesday (4/23/2019) then.
Dahniar said, if it was only limited to accessories to make the state pay attention to the people around the forest, it would not solve the problem. Many models are made, but only limited to models, while implementation in the field is not seriously done? Many heavy homework must be answered by the Government, and cannot be placed only on KLHK.
Dahniar explained, many tenure issues were not finished, because of overlapping laws and regulations, even the Government was still opening the taps of environmental destroyers. TORA (Land of Object of Agrarian Reform) also did not answer, because what was proposed in TORA was not in conflict, because it was clear and clean.
"We turn upside down nor will we solve the problem at the site level, if the government overlaps the rules have not been resolved. For example, talking about the law of indigenous peoples, see how many instruments exist in this country ?, "asked Dahniar.
So that Dahniar hopes that the elected Indonesian President will be more serious in looking at this issue. If you want PS to run well and have a big impact on achieving NDC 2030, let's take it seriously. Don't just make PS as an accessory. (Ab)
