According to Auriga Nusantara research, Indonesia experienced 433,751 hectares of deforestation in 2025.

Auriga defines deforestation as "the reduction of natural forest cover", which includes the loss of dryland forests, peat swamp forests, and mangrove forests, whether primary or secondary forests.

In 2025, the most significant deforestation occured in "forest areas", which are lands controlled by the central government through the Ministry of Forestry.

The deforestation area in these centrally managed lands reaches 307,861 hectares, equivalent to 71% of the total national deforestation area.

Then, deforestation covering an area of 125,890 hectares or 29% of the remainder occured in "other use areas" or APLs controlled by local governments or concession holders.

Auriga Nusantara also stated that some of the deforestation occurring in Indonesia is triggered by central government programs.

"In late December 2024, two months after the inauguration of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the Government of Indonesia launched a food security program allocating 20.6 million hectares of the forest estate for food, energy, and water reserves," said Auriga in a press release (March 31, 2026).

"A total of 78.123 hectares, or 18% of national deforestation occurred within these designated areas. Populist programs like this, including various projects labeled National Strategic Programs, have contributed to the surge in deforestation in Indonesia," they said.
