Hope Behind License Revocation

So far, data and implementation on the ground show that natural resource governance in Indonesia is still poor. Based on data from the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (KPA)

the plantation sector is the highest cause of agrarian conflicts every year. The Head of the Anti-Extractive Industry Campaign of the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) Hadi Jatmiko stated that the revocation of business licenses, especially in the forestry sector, had not fully answered the demands of the people in conflict. Because, judging from the reasons for the revocation of the permit, the government is only making improvements by providing transparent and accountable permit facilities. On the other hand, the government does not revoke the business license on the grounds that the company has caused environmental damage or is in conflict with the community. Hadi also concluded that the revocation of this permit was not entirely in the interests of the community and the environment, but rather to attract the power of natural resource management. Hadi recommended that forests and land whose licenses had been revoked should not be auctioned back to the company. Forests and land damaged due to licensing activities also need to be immediately restored and distributed to the people or redistribution. Deputy Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Deputy Head of the National Land Agency Surya Tjandra previously also stated that some of the land will be distributed to local communities and partly to credible companies. The detailed schemes and provisions for land distribution are still being discussed by the relevant ministries/agencies.
