Sustainable Madani conducted a study of provinces with the largest natural forests that will hold regional head elections (Pilkada) in December 2020. The study shows that in 2019, the five provinces with the largest natural forests were located in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Sumatra.
Central Kalimantan ranked first with 7.1 million hectares (ha) of natural forest. North Kalimantan followed in second place with 5.6 million ha. This was followed by Central Sulawesi with 3.8 million ha, West Sumatra with 1.9 million ha, and Jambi with 1 million ha.
Regional head candidates, particularly in areas rich in natural forests, have a role to play in preserving these natural resources. If the existence of natural forests is threatened, the environment will be damaged, and unavoidable carbon emissions will result.
