Kemenhut sebut kerugian kerusakan TNGHS capai Rp350 miliar

Ministry of Forestry States Damage Losses in TNGHS Reach Rp350 Billion

Antara News | Local Language | News | Dec. 5, 2025 | Man-made Environmental Disasters

The Ministry of Forestry reported that damage losses in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) conservation area have reached Rp 350 billion, with 439 hectares already measured and regularized. The damage is attributed not only to illegal miners but also to villa users and tourists. These losses are expected to increase as ecological damage assessments and potential state losses are still being evaluated by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency.

Operations to close illegal gold mining pits (PETI) have targeted various blocks within the TNGHS area, including Cirotan in Lebak Regency as well as Cibuluh, Ciheang, and Gunung Pedih in Sukabumi and Bogor Regencies. So far, 281 PETI pits have been closed out of a target of 1,400 sites. The Ministry and the PKH Task Force continue efforts to stop these activities due to their risk of causing forest and environmental damage, which could lead to natural disasters.

Investigations are underway into financiers supporting illegal mining, with identified individuals in Blocks Cibuluh and Gunung Pedih. Legal actions will also target the use of harmful substances such as mercury and cyanide. The TNGHS conservation forest spans 105.72 hectares across Sukabumi, Bogor, and Lebak Regencies and has experienced encroachment and damage by illegal mining since the 1990s. The PKH Task Force is conducting operations under Presidential Regulation Number 65 of 2022 to manage and restore the forest area.
