6.3 Sustainable Forest Management
Sustainable forest management is the core of
the FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda. Current forest
management techniques are encouraged to secure
and increase carbon stock, while preventing
degradation and deforestation to reduce forest
emission level.
An intensive silvicultural technique (SILIN)
is applied to rehabilitate forests and improve
natural forest productivity in forest concession
areas through selective logging and gap planting
or Selective Cutting and Line Planting. The
techniques include plantation area modification,
tree improvement, and pest and disease control.
These techniques may produce logs 3-4 times
higher than conventional forest operation, or
around 90-120 m³ per harvest cycle. There have
hitherto been 119 units of PBPH that have applied
the SILIN technique with the areas being impacted
of 164,730 ha.
On the other hand, the technique of reduced
impact logging for lower emission (RIL-C) is able
to improve efficiency of forest operation, hence
increase forest productivity up to 10%. RIL-C is able
to almost double carbon sequestration and carbon
stock of forests. While conventional logging will
leave carbon stock of forest biomass of only 45%,
RIL-C can augment the carbon stock up to 77%.
Of the 257 natural forest concessionaires, 30 units
have applied RIL-C with an area of 103,596.56
ha. Research findings show that RIL-C can reduce
the release of carbon emissions by up to 50%
compared to conventional logging.
To ensure that the processed wood is legally and
sustainably harvested, the Country has developed
a Forest Legality and Sustainability Assurance
System (SVLK) that applies the principles of
transparency and accountability by involving all
elements of society in its implementation, including
civil society organizations as an observer.

The forest concessionaires that
been granted sustainable forest management
certification (S-PHL) and timber legality
certifications (VLK) include:
• Natural forests: 178 units (154 units of S-PHL;
24 units of VLK)
• Plantation forests: 152 units (128 units of
S-PHL; 24 units of VLK)

Indonesia has developed Forest Legality and Sustainability Assurance
System (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas dan Kelestarian) that applies principles
of transparency and accountability to ensure every harvested timber can be
traced to its sources which are legal and sustainable forests.
Implementation of Intensive
Silviculture in Forest Utilization
Business License areas will increase
timber productivity of natural forests
and greenhouse gas emissions
absorption through sustainable
forest management.
