The Ministry of Forestry said on Wednesday that it revoked the concession rights of nine companies last year that managed natural forest totaling 470,533 hectares across the archipelago.
“The licenses were revoked because the companies were violating the law by neglecting forest areas,” said Hadi Daryanto, director general of forest production at the Forestry Ministry.
Four of the companies were located in Riau, with the others in South Kalimantan, West Sumatera, West Sulawesi, East Kalimantan and Gorontalo. Natural forest licences allow companies to cut down trees on a selective basis. The ministry said it planned to revoke an additional 36 licenses this year. JG
