The Government of Indonesia (GoI) declared Mount Halimun-Salak as national park in 2003 due to the forest ecosystems richness and hydrological function. It covers a vast area of 113,357 hectares. The people living within its boundaries saw this as infringement on their customary rights and started several litigation processes against the government. Land tenure security was the main source of conflicts and ICRAF tried to solve it through negotiation processes.
