How the Complexity Managing the Indonesian Forest

Indonesian forest resources is a gift of God Almighty as a buffer of life through a variety of functions. Resulted in the loss of forest functions such as flood disasters, drought loss of biodiversity, food reserves, reserve medicines, timber and non timber, and others. Therefore, the forest resources is a subject and object of its strategic development. Development of forestry for development outside the forestry activities currently carried out, is not fully appreciate the value of the lost forest benefits. The value of forest benefits include land compensation in the form of compensation, but difficult to obtain land compensation. Therefore, we need a replacement value of the land compensation.

Issued Governmental Regulation of 02/2008 on the community followed by a strong reaction from those who care about the impact and sustainability of community life. But this does not also make the government move. Actually the government is simply good intentions that want to improve the quality of community life. The logic is simple, unfortunately there's a potential land left idle, rather than a flunky decayed why not empowered. Like many other government policies, good intentions are not followed by better regulation and infrastructure, even the ecological study of the impact.

Most policies are warm chicken droppings aka short term. If you view the contents of Governmental Regulation of 02/2008 is actually a refinement of the previous regulation that explains the right to use vacant land. Many people do not know that Governmental Regulation of 02/2008 serve to explain a few things on the Governmental Regulation has not previously included. That the use of a lease of government land is not only limited to pay three million per hectare. But there is mutual very adequate mathematically rather tempting. Just imagine if the private rented 1 acre of land next to them to finance the whole thing related to the reclamation and reforestation of land re-acquisition combined with land bordering the land rented for 2 hectares are added to those of Governmental Regulation of 02/2008 rent charged of three million per hectare. In addition to the previous rules (Regulation of the Minister of Forestry P.64/Menhut-II/2006) is that the tenant also has an obligation to be able to avoid and prevent the destruction of forests, erosion, landslides and forest fires in the implementation of field activities. That means the government would benefit because if the leased forest than the forest money will be doubled size. Unfortunately, a very courageous policies are not followed by good performance of the state apparatus was directly related to this. The number of cases that happened was that the forest damage occurred even expanding. Both were leased or let. This indicates the complexity and difficulty of set Indonesian forests of this vast kingdom. Simply put the government wanted to provide clear rules for the parties of forest users. So hope with the rules and regulations that clear the whole thing related to forest use will be accommodated. In addition to defective performance of this apparatus plus people who had not sufficient in understanding the rules, the problem will grow more complex with each passing frequency of administration and regulation. Permission is granted to borrow use for five years and it can be extended every five years. Government were not aware or even close their eyes to the many forest business actors who lack discipline. Take the example for the reclamation and reforestation after land ransacked spinach is not as easy as planting a live scattered and grow. Mostly a lot of vegetation that could not have lived on site be damaged if it took a long time and hard hoping it would come back as before. In addition to changing the amount of land that currently loaned more complicated. Today the release area of one hectare in area, although dense forests bordering the complex. Many people who land directly adjacent to the forest did not want to sell their land for other land that is ecologically protected forest close to the usually fertile, the availability of abundant water and rich by product of such forest life cycle of fruit, the honey from the bees and even forest organisms who stray into the area residents.

Actually, the government needs now is the right man in the right places. Accuracy required to submit a task to someone who really expert. Although the regulation that sets the final decision is the Minister of Forestry, but the forest itself can not be (difficult) rejected if it wants local government. And if they consult with the forestry people or those who are directly related to the forest then the answer would have been much different. Eligible to leave at least one forest land mines made of some kind to the people the House is certainly not an expert is not right. Moreover, most members of our Parliament is the people who did not master all affairs sometimes even looking for things that can be taken care of. In addition to the above one more thing very important is a good performance and clean. Before setting issues related to forests so it is appropriate to consult with those directly related to the forest in this case is the forestry department, as a party representing the government and local communities that may be represented by local government. Ecological studies also please note that the forest will provide a major ecological impact for the community around this will be handed over to the researchers from the universities and NGOs. Net performance is the direct supervision of the public in this case all the matters related to the policies it contains will have an impact on society should be made open and transparent so that accountability. The hope with a clear lack of rules and followed by a good performance and clean then we are no longer confused. Because of the vast forest with an abundance of course very tempting for many people. This is where the importance of a rules and regulations clearly. In order to maintain forests and sustainable. So the government needs to step in and very concerned to manage because it relates directly to the livelihoods of people.
