According to Madani Berkelanjutan study, in 2024, 123,212 hectares (ha) of natural forest were subject to gross deforestation in Indonesian concession areas.

This figure accounts for approximately 60% of the total gross deforestation of natural forests nationally.

Concession areas are lands whose management rights or permits are granted by the government to other parties.

Madani calculated deforestation in concession areas using two approaches. First, without considering overlapping permits. Second, considering overlapping permits.

This approach is necessary because there is often overlap in permits within a single concession area.

"Palm oil permits, for example, do not solely occupy a specific location; they often overlap with forestry permits, oil and gas concessions, or even mining permits," stated Sustainable Madani in its report.

Based on the first approach, the most deforestation of natural forests in concession areas occurred in Forest Utilization Business Permits (PBPH) areas, totaling 66,849 ha.

Then, based on the second approach, the most deforestation of natural forests occurred in concession areas with overlapping permits.

The following details the area of gross deforestation of natural forests in Indonesian concession areas in 2024 using the second approach (considering overlapping permits):

Overlapping permit areas: 47,983 ha
PBPH specifically: 33,090 ha
Palm oil permits specifically: 22,668 ha
Oil and gas specifically: 12,084 ha
Mining specifically: 7,387 ha

According to Sustainable Madani, the significant deforestation of natural forests in concession areas reflects that legal permits do not guarantee ecological protection.

"The three types of permits that contribute most to deforestation are PBPH, palm oil plantations, and mining, including coal and nickel mining," they said.
