        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has appointed Special Envoy for Energy and\nClimate Hashim Djojohadikusumo as Chair of the Task Force on Innovative\nFinancing and National Park Management. This was announced by Forestry\nMinister Raja Juli Anthony following a limited meeting at the State\nPalace on Thursday (12 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Raja Juli explained that the president is preparing a Presidential\nDecree regarding this task force. The decision was made because many\nnational park areas lack adequate funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe task force will be chaired by Hashim Djojohadikusumo. I will\nserve as deputy, along with other deputies including Mari Elka Pangestu.\nWe will seek innovative and sustainable funding, including involving the\nprivate sector so that our national parks become world-class national\nparks again,\u201d Raja Juli said after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that Indonesia currently has 57 national parks with very\nminimal funding. National park operations have been oriented as cost\ncentres rather than generating commercial profit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey become expenses rather than profit centres. The idea is how to\nobtain funding from ecotourism, and use that money to improve our\nnational parks,\u201d Raja Juli said.<\/p>\n<p>Raja Juli also stated that the task force will undertake three pilot\nprojects. One will be implemented at Way Kambas National Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still discussing the other two, but one could be a mountain\nsuch as Rinjani, which is also extraordinarily beautiful, but\nunfortunately has not been managed optimally so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Raja Juli also reported on the long-running\nhuman-elephant conflict at Way Kambas. According to him, the president\nhas decided to allocate funds to protect Way Kambas National Park with\nbarriers separating it from local villages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, this is in the trial stage with comprehensive studies,\nlearning from the experiences of Africa and India in managing their\nnational parks. So there will be embankments in several places, but also\nvery strong steel fencing,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
