Govt to Issue Long Overdue Forests Decree
By Camelia Pasandaran and Fidelis E. Satriastanti, Jakarta Globe, 25 March 2011 | A much delayed presidential decree to enforce a moratorium on new forest concessions will be issued next month, an official said on Thursday… In order for the moratorium to be legally binding from its Jan. 1 start date, it must be backed by a presidential decree, which will be issued in April, according to Cabinet Secretary Dipo Alam. “It is still being processed, hopefully early next month,” he said on Thursday. Environment Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta confirmed he expected the decree to be signed next week. “It’s now being finalized,” he said. “The president said the decree would be issued soon. Once it’s been signed, we can implement the moratorium and there will be no more permits issued for clearing primary forest.” He added that despite the lack of a decree, the moratorium had been in effect all year.
