Government policy related  natural resources and the environment by 2012 is still far from satisfactory felt so expected in 2013 should be more pro-people.




"Until the end of 2012, the government policies towards good governance in the management of natural resources and the environment is felt still far from satisfactory results," said Director of Biodiversity, MS Sembiring on Friday.

It was contained in a joint communiqué Kehati, Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Transparency International (TI) Indonesia, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Indonesia.

The government has set a goal of adopting the village forest area of ​​300,000 hectares and 1.2 million hectares of community forest area in 2010-2012.

But, until November 2012 only 102 987 hectares and 187 516 hectares of forest village community set. Complicated licensing procedures and lack of transparency is believed to be the main cause of the lack of realization.

"Disclosure of information needs to be improved.'s Not enough to provide the translated website, but it is more important is how the quality and quantity of information openly available to the public," said Secretary General of Transparency International Indonesia Natalia Soebagjo.

One example of such transparency, MoF stated publicly how the forest management planning process at the central level.

Deforestation slowed in recent years, but the high deforestation had been significantly changed so that the production of forest conservation areas and natural forests to be the last to be saved, says WWF Indonesia CEO Efransjah.

Efransjah also recalled the importance of encouraging the development of alternative energy issues or renewable energy as well as an agenda for sustainable fisheries that absolutely must be achieved by the government in 2013.

Management of natural resources on land in the ocean would also not be a government monopoly.

The involvement of various stakeholders, particularly local communities and customary law as well as civil society or civil society organization (CSO) is a must.

During this time, CSO significantly help improve the governance of natural resources in Indonesia. In addition to its presence spread across Indonesia, partiality towards local communities and marginalized into the reasons underlying the need for the involvement of CSOs in the governance of natural resources.

2013 will be a crucial year for the management of natural resources in Indonesia. At least 110 heads of regions will change in 2013. In addition, 2013 will be a year of consolidation towards the 2014 election.

"Empirically, one year before to one year after the local elections will increase the frequency of forest conversion permits issuance. Added to the consolidation of political parties in the 2014 elections, corruption, natural resource sector in particular sectors identified licensing in 2013 will rise sharply," said Indonesia Corruption Working Committee Member Watch (ICW) Emerson Yuntho.

Practice going up to 2012 showed SDA monopolistic control by special interests that lead to higher ongoing agrarian conflict that has been proven to have caused damage to natural resources.
