Head of the National Park Kerinci Seblat (TNKS) National Park Management Section (STPN) Region IV South Solok, West Sumatra M Zainudin said the most severe damage to forests in the reform era.




"In the era of reform from 1997 to 2000 was the peak of deforestation in Indonesia reached 2.83 million hectares," he said in Padang Aro, Thursday.

Based on data from the 1982-1990 year range of forest destruction in Indonesia by 0.9 million hectares, from 1990 to 1997 increased to 1.8 million hectares. While the reform era of 1997-2000 to 2.83 million hectares in 2000-2005 and dropped to 1.08 million hectares.

He said the government's ability to rehabilitate forests and land (RHL) is only 500 thousand-700 thousand hectares per year. While the rate of deforestation or damage reached 1.08 million hectares of land were damaged so that the rate of rehabilitation is not balanced.

Based on 2006 data indicate a critical land in Indonesia reached 30.196 million hectares. And if there are forests that are still awake that just being in a conservation area.

Because forests in conservation areas are still awake, so be inherited or Asean Asean Heritage Park (AHP) and the world or the World Heritage Site (WHS).

He explained that the reason TNKS be heritage site because of the natural forms (fisk and biology) have outstanding universal value (aesthetic or scientific).
