        "content": "<p>Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni is preparing an 87,000-hectare\npreservation area for orangutans in East Kalimantan as part of efforts\nto strengthen the protection of Indonesia\u2019s endemic wildlife habitat.\n\u201cThis has been in process for a long time. If I am not mistaken, this\nmulti-stakeholder preservation area covers 87,000 hectares,\u201d Raja Antoni\nstated in Jakarta on Monday. He added that the Ministry of Forestry will\nsoon issue a letter of support for the orangutan conservation efforts\ninitiated with various parties, while also preparing a decree to\nestablish an Integrated Orangutan Conservation Working Group for the\nKeraitan Landscape. He assessed that the entire process has been lengthy\nand is now at the final administrative stage. \u201cWe are now in the final\nphase. I will issue a letter of support for orangutan conservation and\nhabitat protection by the Conservation Action Network, followed by the\ndecree for the Integrated Orangutan Conservation Working Group for the\nKeraitan Landscape. God willing, this will be completed in the next day\nor two,\u201d he said. According to Raja Antoni, establishing the\npreservation area is a crucial step to strengthen orangutan habitat\nprotection through collaboration between the government, conservation\norganisations, and business permit holders in the area. The preservation\nzone will serve as a wildlife corridor connecting orangutan habitats\nacross the Keraitan Landscape. \u201cSo that what we have been seeing,\norangutans displaced in mining areas, and now baby orangutans, we can\nsave more of them by establishing a preservation area as proposed by our\ncolleagues,\u201d he said. He also confirmed he is intensively monitoring the\ndevelopment of this preservation area with the Conservation Action\nNetwork, which is working on the ground. \u201cCAN explained that all\ncompanies in the area have declared their commitment and signed\nagreements to support the establishment of the preservation area,\u201d said\nRaja Antoni. \u201cIt is hoped this will maintain the habitat while\naccelerating the rescue of orangutans affected by the loss of their\nliving space,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
