        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry remains optimistic about meeting its Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target to reduce deforestation by 2030, aiming to lower the annual rate from a baseline of 0.31 million hectares to 0.2 or 0.3 million hectares. Despite a slight increase to 0.37 million hectares in the first quarter of 2026 due to forest fires and natural factors rather than land clearing, the government is deploying all instruments for forest restoration and maintenance. The implementation of the net deforestation concept, which excludes replanting in plantation forests, integrates the FOLU Net Sink target into all state-funded activities, underscoring its significance for national environmental policy.",

All instruments in the ministry are being deployed to\nensure that the proceed of restoration and maintenance for forest cover\ngoes well as planned,\u201d the ministry\u2019s project manager for FOLU NC\n2&amp;3, Arga Paradita Sutiyono, said during a discussion at Mount\nCiremai National Park in West Java on Monday (May 11).<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the main challenge leading up to 2030 lies in\ncontrolling deforestation and forest degradation. Meanwhile, the\nministry\u2019s vision is to ensure the deforestation rate is lower than the\nbaseline of 0.31 million hectares per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are targeting to reduce the figure to 0.3 or 0.2 million hectares\nby 2030,\u201d Arga Sutiyono stated.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: West Papua stresses indigenous approval for palm oil\nexpansion<\/p>\n<p>He also acknowledged an increase in deforestation at the first\nquarter of 2026 reaching to 0.37 million hectares, up from 0.31 million\nhectares in the 2024-2025 period.<\/p>\n<p>However, he emphasized this increase was not caused by massive land\nclearing, but rather was influenced by forest fires and other natural\nfactors.<\/p>\n<p>The government is also implementing the net deforestation concept,\nwhere logging in plantation forests is not considered deforestation as\nlong as replanting takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, achieving the FOLU Net Sink target is considered not\nmerely a project program, but also has become the mainstream of every\nactivity funded by the State Budget at the ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Prabowo\u2019s firm stance meets the legacy of Sumatra\u2019s\ndeforestation<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia outlines 12.7 million ha forest recovery\ntarget at COP30<\/p>\n<p>Translator: M.
