How Digital Transformation Shapes Transparent Forest Governance in Indonesia

Indonesia’s forestry sector faces complex challenges in managing forest area data, fragmented across multiple institutions, inconsistent in accuracy, and often disconnected from a unified national system.

These data gaps have contributed to tenurial conflicts, land overlaps, and public distrust toward forest information. In response, the Directorate of Forest Area Establishment, Directorate General of Forestry Planning, initiated a digital transformation project to create an inclusive and responsive forest information system based on interoperability and openness.

This system goes beyond supporting the One Map Policy and Satu Data Indonesia. It establishes a practical, collaborative platform for validating forest boundaries transparently and accountably across institutions.

Watch the full discussion to explore how data integration, inter-agency collaboration, and technological innovation are reshaping the way Indonesia manages its forests.
