According to data from the Indigenous Territorial Registration Agency (BRWA), registered customary territories in Indonesia reached 28.2 million hectares (ha) as of March 18, 2024.

These registered customary territories are spread across 33 provinces and 161 regencies/cities, with a total of 1,425 customary territory maps.

Papua has the largest registered customary territory in Indonesia, reaching 12.2 million ha, or 43.3% of the total registered customary territories in Indonesia.

Kalimantan is second, with 10.5 million ha of customary territory.

This is followed by Sumatra with 2.5 million ha and Java-Bali-Nusa Tenggara with 600,000 ha.

Meanwhile, Maluku has the smallest area of customary territory, at only 300,000 ha.

The BRWA reports that 3.9 million ha of customary territories had received government recognition status as of March 18, 2024. This area represents only 13.8% of the total registered customary territories in the BRWA.

According to the Head of the Indigenous Territorial Registration Agency (BRWA), Kasmita Widodo, the low achievement of government recognition of customary territories is due to the lack of adequate programs and funding provided by the government.
