PERMENHUT P.37/2010: Management Planning for Forest and Land Rehabilitation
Peraturan Menteri Kehutanan Nomor P.37/MENHUT-V/2010 tentang Tata Cara Penyusunan Rencana Pengelolaan Rehabilitasi Hutan dan Lahan ("PERMENHUT P.37/2010") provides procedures for preparing management plans for forest and land rehabilitation. Published in Berita Negara 2010 Nomor 389, this regulation complements PERMENHUT P.32/2009 by establishing strategic, multi-year planning frameworks for large-scale restoration programs.
Distinction from Technical Planning
While PERMENHUT P.32/2009 focuses on site-specific technical plans for individual watersheds, PERMENHUT P.37/2010 addresses higher-level management planning across multiple watersheds or regions. Management plans integrate technical rehabilitation activities with institutional arrangements, budget programming, and long-term sustainability strategies.
Management Plan Components
Situational Analysis: Assessment of rehabilitation needs across jurisdictions, prioritization based on degradation severity and downstream impacts.
Strategic Objectives: 10-20 year targets for forest cover restoration, erosion reduction, water yield improvement, biodiversity recovery.
Program Design: Portfolio of rehabilitation interventions tailored to different ecological zones and land use conditions.
Institutional Framework: Roles and responsibilities of central government, provincial/district authorities, community organizations, private sector.
Financial Planning: Multi-year budgets, funding sources (government budget, international donors, carbon finance, private investment), cost-sharing mechanisms.
Monitoring and Adaptive Management: Performance indicators, evaluation schedules, procedures for adjusting strategies based on results.
Stakeholder Participation
PERMENHUT P.37/2010 mandates inclusive planning processes involving government agencies, local communities, indigenous peoples, NGOs, academic institutions, and private companies. Multi-stakeholder forums ensure plans reflect diverse perspectives and build ownership for implementation.
Integration with Broader Policies
Management plans must align with:
- National Forest Plan (Rencana Kehutanan Nasional)
- Provincial and district spatial plans
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (NDC commitments)
- Sustainable development goals
This integration ensures rehabilitation contributes to multiple policy objectives beyond forest restoration alone.
Conclusion
PERMENHUT P.37/2010 elevates forest and land rehabilitation from ad-hoc projects to strategically planned, systematically executed programs. By requiring comprehensive management planning, the regulation enhances efficiency, transparency, and long-term sustainability of Indonesia's watershed restoration efforts critical for water security and climate resilience.
