Yustisia further explained that the government has a social forest target of 12.7 million hectares. However, until 2017 there were still many challenges to realize such targets, such as disruption in licensing and the location of social forestry which is far from community settlements. According to Yustisia, facilitating public access to the social forestry license will improve the community's economy and the government's target to restore peatland// Sekar/Trs.Rezha
