Jakarta: The sustainable management of forests throughout this year helped achieve several positive results, including in terms of maintaining the productivity of forest areas to ensure the sustainability of forestry businesses, a government official said.
“A number of indicators show that the performance of sustainable forest management in 2023 exceeded the target,” acting director general of sustainable forest management (PHL) at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Agus Justianto, said in a statement, which was received here on Thursday.
Besides the productivity of forest areas, which showed positive results, the accelerated implementation of the multi-forestry business model in forest utilization business licensing (PBPH) also helped make forest management increasingly inclusive by involving the community.
Justianto informed that in 2023, planting and enrichment of plants was carried out on 667,780 hectares of the PBPH area. The figure was 156 percent above the target of 428 thousand hectares.
