The emergence of forest land redistribution in Indonesia

Export citation

In recent years (post 1998 reform), through a long struggle between the forest agency, land agency, private sectors, local government, and peasant movements there have been some cases where upland peasant communities being allocated individual land rights from the forest converted areas under the public land redistribution. This cases develop further to a National Program ( PPAN) and for several reason Forestry Department gave a “green light” for the state (forest) land redistribute to the tillers. Through this paper the author elaborate further how the program developed in the current forestry debate in Indonesia to address the land conflict, forestry concessions allocations and conservation agenda.
