Project entitle "Empowering Local Stakeholders Support Cancellation PT Bhara Induk
Timber Concession in Angkola Forest Sumatra' have been conducted from 1 March until
30 June 2003 by PEACEWORK.
Project can be divided two main activities that study management of natural forest
resources and local stake-holder facilitation. Study focused in conflict of natural forest
resources among stake-holder in South Tapanuli Regency and Mandailing Natal Regency.
From result of study, is hereinafter conducted by facilitation activity to reach for support in
the effort discontinuing operating of PT. Bhara Induk Timber Concession in South Tapanuli
Regency. Result of this study is also made the basis for in designing conflict resolution
options and future strategy management of related to forest development of conservation
corridor of Angkola-Leuser-Seulawah and also become input materials to Minister Forestry
and other non-governmental organization.
Based on information collected and analyzed, hence there are some important matter can
be told from result of study as elaborated are following :
PT. Bhara Induk timber concession administratively most is located of South Tapanuli
Regency and small part in Mandailing Natal Regency, North Sumatra Province. Wide of
concession of PT. Bhara Induk based on Forestry Ministerial Decree No.
37/Kpts/Um1975 is 60.000 hectare, but based on Forestry Ministerial No. 525/Menhut-
IV/1995 wide of concession hitherto become 50.000 hectare. In PT. Bhara Induk
concession area have overlap with Protected Forest of Siondop South for the width of 350
hectare and 6.620 hectare with North Siandop Protected Forest and eastside overlap with
Protected Forest of Angkola I Complex for the width of 11.000 hectare and Protected
Forest Batang Gadis II Complex for the width of 8.000 hectare. Till Now, PT. HPH Bhara
Induk not yet got a new ministerial decree definitively. Thereby, since year 2002 do not
obtain get annual work plan from Minister of Forestry and is practical the logging activity
have to be discontinued.
PT Bhara Induk strengthened by letter Head of Forestry Planology No. 127/VI-BPLA/2002
23 January 2002 and recommendation letter from Forestry Provencial Offive of Province
North Sumatra No. 522.11/1911/V dated 14 March 2002. PT. Bhara Induk represent one of
the HPH from 27 company of HPH in Indonesia which is under reviewing by Independent
Assessor Institute or LPI to obtain get an extension license of timber concession or get
new ministerial decree. Report of Team of LPI the will evaluate and verification by a
verification council and team formed by Minister Forestry. Conservation International as
one of the member of verification council.
Result of analysis of geomorphologic indicated that South Tapanuli Regency and
Mandailing Natal Regency, having unique of side unfold physical nature. That is indicated
by the existence of Siandop graben. Regency of South Tapanuli and Mandailing Natal
have big problem, because categorized as sensitive area. Condition of its region reside in
area of vulkanic active and part of Great Sumatran Fault Zone or recognized by Sempur-
Asik-Barumun fault zone and Batang Gadis--Batang Angkola-Batang Toco fault zone. This
fault zone continue to make a move, so that very often generate big earthquake
From result of analysis, condition of HPH PT. Bhara Induk geophysically is sensitive to
natural disaster, because distinguished as follows: physiographic predominated by hilly
landscape; soil type predominated by red podzolik turn yellow which its low fertility and
very sensitive happened erosion and also its geology formation generally lapped over from
Formation of Barus, this formation is formed by rock materials which consist of limestone
and sand. Specification of condition of geomorphologic this cover entire concession area
of HPH PT. Bhara Induk, so that this area is enabled by the happening of diverse habitat
variation, like peat swamp forest, river basin, limestone forest, montane forest, lowland
forest. This habitat variation of it is of course can support variety fauna and flora. The PT.
Bhara Induk area and adjacent areas still have high conservation value, because still
found endangered mammal like Sumatra Tiger ( Panthera tigris sumatrae), Tapir (Tapirus
CEPF Small Grant Final v1.0
Indicus). Conservation values of area progressively, because found nine from ten bird type
of Rangkong (Bucerotidae) exist in Sumatra. That indication according to habitat
sustainability for fruit-eaters animal. Besides can be found also 99 bird type.
Although do not be found attendance of Sumatran Orangutan, but found 35 plant species
for food-resources of Sumatran Orangutan, such as Ficus. Spp, Aglaia Racemosa,
Artocarpus Sp., Baccaurea Sp. Pometia Pinnata. In lowland forest area in Batang Toru
water cachment area laid at nearby concession aerial of HPH. PT. Bhara Induk have been
still found population of Sumatran Orangutan. In Batang Toru area, specifically in Sibuali-
Buali Nature Reserve have been found and following of activity from 16 individual of
Sumatra Orangutan. The natural forest block wide in Batang Toru is 800 km2 or 80.000
hectare and can accommodate viable population of Sumatran Orangutan counted 300 -
500 individual.
In this project indicated, that conflict characteristic that happened in South Tapanuli
Regency and Mandailing Natal Regency is to entangle many stakeholder which is each
owning desire, cultural value, in perspective, target of which different each other to control
over and use of natural forest resources. Most uppermost conflict of interest is importance
collision protect natural forest for the long-term scale with forest utilize to take short-term
economic benefit. Have interest to protect forest owned by local society which become
victim effect of deforestation, harmed stake-holder or marginalized effect of way of
exploiting of forest, like this time, such as traditional institution, peasant, non-government
institution and government officer do not obtain get economic benefit of exploiting of forest
resources. While importance take short-term economic benefit brought by government
officer, local business, military and police, youth organization, such as Ikatan Pemuda
Karya, Pemuda Pancasila, and FKKPI and other ‘free-rider’ group, that is beneficial group
economically with existence of activity of hewing of forest resources exploitation.
At least, there is two pull factor as primary cause do not manageable of natural forest and
the happening of interminable conflict in South Tapanuli Regency and Mandailing Natal
Regency , that is failure of management of forest area and failure of local society
entangling to support management of remaining natural forest area. The threat can
categorized as indirect threat, internal direct threat and external direct threat. Indirect threat
represent impeller factor the happening of direct threat to perfection of tropical forest in
South Tapanuli Regency and Mandailing Natal Regency. Indirect Threat identified in the
form of weakening of straightening of rule of law by central government fighting against
illegal logging and timber trade and also trespasser of sustainable forest policy; corruption,
nepotism and collusion; the limited development options and alternative economics
development to local society and local government. Impact policy of autonomy era
causing the happening of phenomenon "small emperor"; limited access of natural forest
resources and poverty at local society; and is weak of public control and also local
participation to formulation of policy and execution of management of natural forest. The
indirect threat generates the happening of internal direct threat, which is threat coming
from local society. That threat in the form of illegal logging in protected forest or timber
concession, forest clearing for the agriculture crop (palm, rubber), traditional gold mine,
uncontrolled and irresponsible exploiting of timber forest .
While external direct threat, that is threat conducted by migrant community in the form of,
clearing for the settlement and agriculture expansion and commercial crops expansion,
big-scale gold mine, illegal logging and timber trade and unsustainable forest production
From result of field finding, until early May 2003 is indicated PT Bhara Induk still conduct
timber logging which shouldn't be enabled again, because have been expressed do not get
away performance selection of Independent Assessor Institute. That thing represents
action trespassing forestry order going into effect and illegal. Illegal forest exploitation that
is proved there is still found log which is just cut away. Besides in concession area of HPH
Bhara Induk which ought to be prohibited by the effort illegal logging activities, but fact in
the field, illegal logging outspokenly and legalize with existence of Restribution Fee Post
in Simarpinggan Village. Estimated wood volume of illegal can reach 200 m3. /day. And
also investigated, there is 11 sawmill in concession of PT. Bhara Induk, which source of
CEPF Small Grant Final v1.0
timber anticipated strength come from concession area of PT. Bhara Induk.
In other side, at local government level, still found extractive policy of natural resources.
For example, in South Tapanuli Regency estimated have published 51 - 65 permit of small
scale timber concession, which is cover 5100 - 6500 hectare. Publication of permission
indication is not transparent and collusive. Other side, many released permission without
mentioning clearly geographical position and area boundary forest exploitation. Both the
things above it is of course progressively open opportunity and intensity of illegal logging in
protected forest and conservation forest. These problems have also increase out social
conflict and social disintegration, as happened in Pijarkoling and Southeast
Padangsidempuan Village. Local Society which is have interest to protect Protected
Forest area of Angkola I ( Forest of Register No.6), conflict with PT. Mujur Lestari which is
obtaining timber exploitation license from local government which cover area 3.500
hectare or 35 licences of IUPHHK . Its location anticipated in Protected Forest of Angkola
Komp I.

This project has succeeded to discontinue operating HPH PT. Bhara Induk through public
support at local level by PEACEWORK. This Efficacy nor is quit of parallel activity in the
form of policy intervention at central government by Conservation International IP as one of
the member of Evaluation Team / Council of Verification Reporting of Independent
Assesor Institute. That mean to protect natural forest area for the width of 50.000 hectare
of activity of exploiting of timber forest result which heedless of continuity of forest product
function, continuity of ecology function and continuity of social function. From 27 company
of assessed [by Independent Assessor Institute, 13 companies of timber concessionaries
among others not get away verification, including PT. Bhara Induk in North Sumatra, even
get assessment of score 169 by PT. Sucofindo, but straightened potency of its forest under

4. Apakah tim Anda mengalami kekecewaan atau kegagalan selama pelaksanaan proyek?
Jika iya, jelaskan dan gambarkan bagaimana tim Anda mengatasi kegagalan atau
kekecewaan tersebut.
Especially, failure of this project is to gain involving local government of South Tapanuli

short-term economics benefit from illegal activity of timber exploitation.
5. Jelaskan pelajaran positif dan negative yang didapat dari proyek ini yang berguna
untuk organisasi lain yang akan mengerjakan proyek yang serupa.
1. Change of policy in the form of discontinued operation of HPH PT. Bhara Induk is not
quit of activity intervention parallelly and multi-layer, that is intervention to influence to
policy of Department Forestry played the part of by Conservation International IP and
ground support intervention to reach local support which played the part of by
PEACEWORK to strengthen important pressure policy change in central government
2. Decentralize and autonomy era in South Tapanuli Regency still is premature, loaded
and many interest of certain group. That thing create the condition of uncertainty of
straightening of power transfer and law " damage of forest" from central government
to government at local level. In situation like that, hence developing forest
conservation commitment at local government requires time with special
communications strategy. On the contrary, in this time, relative easier to develop
forest conservation commitment of disadvantaged groups which during the time or
marginalized with existence of the way of exploiting of natural forest that happened
this time, like local society which its life depending from forest, traditional society,
farmer group or victim society effect of forest deforestation.
6. Jelaskan kegiatan tindak lanjut proyek ini.

meeting in South Tapanuli entangling more or less 5000 farmer which one of them aim to
strengthen farmer commitment in taking care of natural forest utilize the continuity of the
source of their rice field water. Farmer group this is representing which become first victim
effects of forest deforestation and also take care of continuity in saving of natural
