Meningkatkan Tata Kelola untuk Melindungi Hutan: Memberdayakan Masyarakat dan Komunitas, Memperkuat Hukum dan Kelembagaan

The report finds that while some progress has been made in forest transparency and law enforcement, governance improvements are too slow to significantly reduce deforestation. It highlights critical failures in securing indigenous land rights, persistent corruption, and increasing violence against land defenders. While some Asian economies have adopted demand-side regulations against illegal logging, systemic weaknesses in enforcement and transparency continue to hinder forest protection.

• Despite the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), natural forest loss remained high between 2014 and 2017, with average annual destruction rates 42% higher than in the previous decade.
• Weak forest governance results in significant economic and ecological losses, with estimated annual costs exceeding USD 17 billion due to tax evasion, loss of ecosystem functions, and conflicts with forest communities.
• Illegal deforestation is prevalent in two-thirds of major timber-producing countries and all major producers of palm oil, soy, and beef, where commercial agriculture drives forest shrinkage.
• International cooperation among law enforcement agencies has successfully countered illegal timber trade, resulting in the seizure of USD 1.5 billion worth of timber since 2012.
• Several Asian economies, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Vietnam, have introduced demand-side regulations prohibiting the sale and import of illegally harvested timber, though their effectiveness is uncertain due to enforcement gaps.
• Transparency in the forestry sector remains low; while more countries have laws granting access to information, governments often deny requests based on "national interest," and data is frequently inaccessible to vulnerable groups.
• Women are 24% less likely than men to be actively involved in decision-making or the implementation of REDD+ projects.
• Legally recognized forest rights for indigenous peoples and local communities increased from nearly 11% in 2002 to over 15% in 2017 across 41 countries, yet 33-39% of lands used by these groups in 14 assessed countries remain unrecognized.
• There has been an annual increase in the killing of land rights activists since 2014, driven by weak tenure recognition and increased demand for land.
