But data shows that the main cause of global\u00a0 deforestation is not forest clearing for development of oil palm plantations, but for the cattle farms.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Forestry Faculty at Bogor University of Agriculture (IPB) Yanto Santosa said that countries across the globe have been using the forestry resources to accommodate their economic and development activities. Such activities have led to the continual increase of deforestation during the economic development period. Only when the development period ended, then the deforestation rate decreased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe decrease of the deforestation could be resulted from two possibilities. First, because it was no longer needed to use the forestry resources. Second, the forests had been all cleared,\u201d he told participants of a virtual discussion of INAPalmoil Talkshow on deforestation rate in Indonesia on Wednesday, 08 September 2021.<\/p>\n<p>According to Yanto, a number of foreign forestry experts said that the economic development model implemented by many countries is focused on the use of natural resources to increase foods supply, housing, and income.<\/p>\n<p>The issues of deforestation, forest degradation and decrease of global biodiversity have been raised since 2000s by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and foreign researchers.\u00a0 The European Commission reported in 2013 that South America had the highest rate of deforestation during the period of 1990-2008, followed by Africa, Southeast Asia, and other regions.<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission also reported that the cause of global deforestation, especially in South American region, was the expansion of cattle farms at a total acreage of 58 million hectares, and expansion of soybean and corn \u00a0plantations at a total area of 20.9 million hectares. The other causes of deforestation were fires, infrastructure development, logging activities, and a number of agricultural activities.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, data from the European Commission shows that expansion of oil palm plantations had only contributed 2.3 percent to the global deforestation at a total area of 5.5 million hectares. The data has also refuted an accusation that the oil palm plantations are the main culprit of deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dSo, it\u2019s strange that Indonesia is accused of causing deforestation as a result of the oil palm plantations. But in fact, the activities of cattle farms and forest fires across the globe are the main cause of the deforestation,\u201d said Yanto.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry of environment and forestry\u2019s (KLHK) Forest Planology and Environmental Management Ruandha Agung Sugardiman said during the same occasion that based on the result of field monitoring in 2020, Indonesia still has primary forests, secondary forests and other vegetation areas at a total area of 95.6 million hectares, which are 50.9 percent of the total land areas of Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The field monitoring has also shown that deforestation rate in Indonesia has decreased during the last few years. During the period of 2019-2020 deforestation was 115,459 hectares or a decrease of 75 percent if compared to the previous period.<\/p>\n<p>In calculating the deforestation, the KLHK uses Indonesian map, data on forested areas, and land cover data. The map and data are verified and combined to make a map of changed forest cover.<\/p>\n<p>Ruandha said that the decrease of deforestation was resulted from the implementation of the presidential instruction (Inpres) No.5\/2019 on moratorium of new licenses and improvement of primary forest and peat land governance. It is also due to the law enforcement, control of forest and land fires, peat land protection, and improvement of sustainable forest management.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the revision of indicative map of discontinuation of new licenses (PIPPIB) on primary forests and peat lands during 2021 stipulates that protected areas amounted to 66.18 million hectares. The revision of PIPPIB during the first half of 2021 shows that forested areas amounted to 51.23 million hectares, peat lands 5.28 million hectares, and primary forests at 9.65 million hectares.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dTo keep our deforestation at low rate, we need to pay attention to the condition of forest cover and the trend of deforestation, PIPPIB potential, and monitor existing licenses. What is most important is the fact that Indonesia has an international commitment to net sink from the forestry sector and land use in 2030,\u201d he said.
