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

This executive summary evaluates progress toward Goal 10 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), focusing on the relationship between forest governance and deforestation. It concludes that while some progress has been made in transparency and law enforcement, governance improvements are too slow to significantly reduce deforestation, with critical failures remaining in the recognition of indigenous rights and the prevalence of corruption.

• Forest destruction rates remained alarmingly high following the 2014 adoption of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). Between 2014 and 2017, the average annual rate of forest destruction was 42 percent higher than in the previous decade.
• Weak forest governance results in significant economic and ecological losses. The estimated annual cost of tax evasion, loss of ecosystem functions, and conflicts with forest communities caused by commercial agriculture exceeds USD 17 billion.
• While most countries with tropical forests have strengthened laws to combat illegal logging and deforestation, effectiveness is hindered by legislative inconsistencies and a lack of political will. International cooperation has seen some success, with USD 1.5 billion in illegal timber seized since 2012.
• Corruption and poor financial management of forest revenues are strongly linked to the highest rates of forest loss. Overall corruption levels have remained largely unchanged over the last five years.
• Several Asian economies, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Vietnam, have implemented demand-side regulations to ban the sale and import of illegally harvested timber. However, the impact of these laws is uncertain due to weak enforcement and compliance loopholes.
• Transparency in the forestry sector remains low, with governments often denying information access based on 'national interest'. While some companies like Unilever and Nestlé have begun disclosing supply chain data for palm oil, many others provide incomplete or unclear information.
• Participation in forest policy decision-making is often technical and non-binding, with women being 24 percent less likely than men to be actively involved in the decision-making or implementation of REDD+ projects.
• Legally recognized indigenous and local community forest rights increased from nearly 11 percent in 2002 to over 15 percent in 2017 across 41 countries. Despite this, in 14 assessed countries, between 33-39 percent of lands used by these communities remain unrecognized by governments.
