Forestry Decree 440/2026 · 2025–2029
A visualization of the innovation strategy for customary forests: recognize the legal subject in districts first, then designate the forest object, open the data, and keep files moving through a national task force.
Compiled from the Home Affairs briefing of 20 August 2026, the PKTHA task-force roadmap, and Forestry Ministerial Decree 440/2026. Not an official extract and not a Polri portal.
The three source texts set a new working order. Home Affairs unlocks subject recognition. The task force and Decree 440 lock six programs and yearly targets. Without a lawful subject, proposals stay in the 123 incomplete files.
Home Affairs 52/2014 and GR 16/2026: identify, verify through the MHA committee, issue a decree, then register with the minister. Provinces designate cross-district communities; the minister designates cross-province ones.
The Forestry Ministry verifies proposals, issues decrees, marks boundaries, and confirms the forest area. Official target: ±1.4 million hectares in 2025–2029.
Home Affairs Regulation 52/2014 and Government Regulation 16/2026 move the bottleneck to districts: identify, verify, issue a decree, then register with the ministry. Without a legal subject, the forest object cannot proceed.
Kemendagri · 20 Agustus 2026
Provinces designate MHA that cross districts. The Home Affairs Minister designates those that cross provinces. MHA that do not become adat villages are organized through village adat institutions, then given a register number.
PP 16/2026 · UU Desa
Decree 144/2025 was updated by Decree 121/2026. The task force joins the forestry ministry, local governments, CSOs, and partners so 95 complete and 123 incomplete proposals do not stall on separate desks.
Kepmen 144/2025 · 121/2026
Only 32 proposals (53,497 ha, 3.7%) are free of overlap. Those are the acceleration priority. The rest — 43.6% in conservation forest — need the social-forestry, planning, conservation, and production directorates to align.
Kepmen 440/2026 Tabel 3
The task-force slides once listed seven programs. The binding Decree 440/2026 folds them into six, with yearly indicators. Select a program to see strategy and actions.
Align central and local rules, open a provincial help desk, and facilitate local regulations. The legal subject must be recognized before the forest object can be designated.
Indicator: 123 proposals completed · 30–31 MHA/year
As of April 2026 there are 218 proposals. 95 are administratively complete. 123 are not. Only 32 units are clean and clear — the acceleration priority. Almost 44 percent of the rest sits in conservation forest.
Decree 440 matrix: designation decrees from complete proposals, plus facilitation of local legal products for the 123 incomplete ones. 2028–2029 process the output of that facilitation.
