The Environment and Forestry Service of West Kalimantan prepares a KPH roadmap

Aiming to strengthen the forest management unit (KPH) to improve forest governance, a guideline is necessary in the function of direction to collaborate and coordinate with other relevant parties in managing the natural resources. Therefore, the Province Environment and Forestry Service, supported by FORCLIME, invited KPH in West Kalimantan (i.e. KPH Kubu Raya and KPH Mempawah), and development partners who have activities in the province to discuss and prepare a roadmap for KPH operations in West Kalimantan on 13 March 2020 in Pontianak. KPH Roadmap is a document that will guide KPHs to implement their planned activities, which also serves as a directive for other relevant stakeholders to improve the quality of forest management.

At the end of the meeting, participants agreed on the outline of KPH roadmap, using the KPH Forum to synergize and harmonize join plans, placing KPH Secretariat at the office of the Environment and Forestry Service.
