Changing Paradigm of Forestry Policy in Indonesia: “Toward Promotion of Communitybased Sustainable Forest Management”
Tokyo, 28 June 2018 (Time: 09.30 – 17.00)

Japan has always been a prominent supporter in forest management and environmental
conservations in Indonesia. Cooperation between Indonesia and Japan on forestry has
been going for more than 35 years with the issues ranging from timber trade, forest fire,national park management to satellite technology. The relationship had been multi-layered
involving not only government but business, NGOs, universities/academics and social andcultural institutions. The 60th anniversary of Indonesia-Japan Diplomatic Relations is a
strategic momentum for the two countries to reflect what the two countries have achieved
together and look forward to a vibrant partnership in the future.
Currently, the Government of Indonesia has issued various policies by changing theparadigm of forest management in Indonesia, from "timber-based management" to"ecosystem resources based management" based on "community based forestmanagement". These policies aim to ensure that forests can be harnessed sustainably,
harmoniously and equitably for the welfare of Indonesian society in particular andhumanity in general, both present and future toward the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).
