The Indigenous Customary Territory Registration Agency (BRWA) maps customary territories in Tanah Papua using the Participatory Mapping of Customary Territories (PPWA) method. This method places indigenous communities as the primary actors in every stage.
As of October 2021, based on customary territory registration data, BRWA has registered maps of 106 customary territories in Papua and West Papua, covering a total area of 9.63 million hectares (ha). This includes 32 customary territory maps in West Papua covering 3.9 million ha and 74 customary territory maps in Papua covering 5.73 million ha.
Based on the same customary territory registration data, there is a potential 3.5 million ha of customary forest in West Papua and 4.72 million ha in Papua that can be protected and preserved.
The compilation of customary territory maps encompasses locations that are accessible, managed, and protected. This mapping can serve as a basis for developing sustainable development plans in Tanah Papua.
