Protected forests are forest areas that function to protect life support systems, namely to regulate water management, prevent floods, control erosion, prevent seawater intrusion, and maintain soil fertility.

According to a report by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2013 Indonesia had 29.92 million hectares of protected forest.

After that, the area fluctuated with a downward trend, until it reached 29.52 million hectares in 2023.

Cumulatively, during the 2013-2023 period, the area of Indonesia's protected forests decreased by approximately 397,000 hectares or shrank by 1.3%.

The area of Indonesia's protected forests has the potential to shrink further in the next few years.

According to data from the Ministry of Forestry reported by *[Katadata.co.id](https://katadata.co.id/ekonomi-hijau/ekonomi-sirkular/67b83455aa914/975-ribu-hektare-hutan-lindung-masuk-radar-hutan-cadangan-pangan-dan-energi)*, approximately 975,000 hectares of protected forest have the potential to be designated as food and energy reserve forests.

The protected forests that will be utilized for this government program are spread across 32 provinces, with the largest areas in West Kalimantan, Lampung, and South Sumatra.
