Principles & Criteria of Legality for Forestry Operations & Wood Processing in Indonesia[1]

Standard and Auditors Guidance Notes

 

Timber is legal when the validity of its origin, logging permit, logging system and procedures, administration and transport documentation, processing, and trade or transfer are verified as meeting all applicable legal requirements[2].

 

Principle 1.            Land Tenure and Use Rights and Responsibilities

Long term The legal status of, and tenure rights to the land are clearly defined and its boundaries are properly gazetted, and the Company[3] has documented, legally established tenure and use rights to land and harvest timber within those boundaries. forest resources are defined, documented and legally established.

 

Criterion 1.1:    Areas covered by HPH, IUPHHK, HPHTI [HTS1] and or Perum Perhutani licenses(?) must be located in the permanent state forest zone (kawasan[HTS2] ).  Land clearing activities associated with nationally approved non-forestry activities or authorized by district governments may only be located outside the permanent state forest zone (kawasan).  [HTS3] .

 

1.1.1     If the forest management unit is covered by a natural forest selective felling permit [HPH (IUPHHK pada HA)], an industrial timber plantation [HTI (IUPHHK pada HT)] or is licensed to the state-owned enterprise Perum Perhutani, it must be located within the permanent state forest zone (kawasan[HTS4] ).

Guidance: 

Step 1:  With a view toward finding out whether the area at is and is not in the permanent state forest landzone, determine whether or not there is a current ‘berita acara tata batas’ signed by the authorized delineation committee regarding land status.

Note 1: An authorized delineation committee is specified in SK Menhut 32, 2001 regarding the forest delineation process.  

Note 2:  Step 1 above should only have been followed by any demarcation activities carried out after February 2001, or by any forest gazettement which failed to demarcate the boundaries prior to that date. [not clear!]

 

Step 2:  Ensure that any community area physically located within the boundaries of the HPH area, HTI or Perum Perhutani area is defined as an enclave and excluded from any production forestry activities (Juklak and Juknis Dirjen Intag No. 724/A/VII-2, 1994).

Note 1:  Forest zones demarcated between 1974 and 1990 should follow the provisions of SK DirJen Kehutanan 85/Kpts/DJ/1/1974.

Note 2:  Forest zones demarcated between 1990 and 1996 should follow the provisions of SK Menhut 399, 1990 and SK Menhut 400, 1990.

Note 3:  Forest zones demarcated between 1997 and February, 2001 should follow the provisions of SK Menhut 399, 1990, SK Menhut 400, 1990, SK Menhut 634, 1996 and SK Menhut 635 1996.

Note 4:  Crosscheck the status of the proposed forest land in the village land book and district land book in the district office of the Badan Pertanahan Nasional (BPN).

 

1.1.2     Land clearing associated with nationally approved non-forestry activities or authorized by district governments may only be located outside the permanent state forest zone (kawasan), as mentioned in Criterion 1.1.  Any declassification of land from forest to non-forest (such as agricultural plantations) must have taken place with the free and prior informed consent of local and adat communities, and be gazetted in a manner consistent with appropriate applicable regulations.

Guidance:

Appropriate Applicable regulations are:

Guidance: License number, validity dates, license is signed. Free and prior informed consent means that affected communities must have been given full information on all activities to be undertaken and consequences deriving there for before they givegave their consent to such activities (UU 23, 1997 on Environmental Management; RUU Pemanfaatan dan Pelestarian Sumber Daya Genetik).  An affected community is one whose land claims overlap with the forest management unit and/or whose livelihood system is positively or negatively altered by the activities of the forest management unit (UU 23, 1997 and PP 27, 1999).

            Guidance: Map with clear boundaries, cross checked with Provincial Land Use Planning Office. Using as base maps the Peta Penunjukan Kawasan Hutan dan Perairan Propinsi, or if that is not available, the most recent provincially sanctioned RTRWP, plot the RKT map (in the case of a HPH), Peta Rencana Pembukaan Lahan (in the case of nationally sanctioned land clearing activities), or Peta Bagan Kerja dan Rencana Pembukaan Lahan or its equivalent (in the case of provincially sanctioned/district approved land clearing permits).  Interpret the resulting map overlay to ensure that, for HPH and industrial timber plantations, cutting blocks do not overlap with areas designated as hutan lindung or kawasan konservasi.  Ensure also that nationally approved agricultural plantations and provincially sanctioned/district licensed land clearing permits do not overlap with any part of the national forest estate.  In instances where unauthorized intrusion into prohibited forest areas is thought to have occurred, take GPS readings to find out whether this is the case.

 

Evidence that the forest management unit has been gazetted (according to UU 24, 1992) in consultation with adat and local communities (for example, by participatory community mapping) with prior informed consent verified through a transcript of a dialogue with the communities).

Step 2:  With a view toward finding out whether the boundaries of a concession have been fully established, determine whether or not there is a current berita acara tata batas (according to the SK-HPH or its equivalent under new regulation, SK-HTI or its equivalent under new regulation) signed by the authorized delineation committee (Dir.Jen. BPK). 

Step 3:  Ensure that there is no hutan adat (regulated by UU 41, 1999 or PerMenBPN 5, 1999) or ijin hutan kemasyarakatan (SK Menhut 31, 2001) located inside or overlapping with the working area of the forest management unit.

Step 4:  For Perum Perhutani areas, no wood may be taken from land which is former ERFACHT and/or partikulir land (UU 1, 1958) and/or conservation areas (SK Menhut 251, 1985).

[1] This draft definition is based on stakeholder consultations carried out in Berau District, East Kalimantan and Pelalawan District, Riau between April and June 2003, provincial workshops held in Samarinda and Pekan Baru and a central workshop in Jakarta in June 2003.  Several individuals and organisations have contributed further elaboration and guidance details, in preparation for field-testing of the definition in Berau, mid 2004.

Development of the definition was carried out under the auspices of the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) under the Indonesia-UK Memorandum of Understanding on Illegal Logging with contractors SGS and URS.   Financial support was provided by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Home Depot.
