Forest Damage in TNGHS is Ongoing, Thousands of Open Gold Mining Pits

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

Forest damage is ongoing in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) conservation area, covering regions in Lebak, Bogor, and Sukabumi regencies. The damage is estimated at around 10 percent of the total 105,072 hectares, based on internal calculations by the TNGHS Office.

The primary cause of the damage is illegal gold mining (PETI), which has led to thousands of open mining pits in the area. The state's financial losses from this damage are currently being assessed by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

Enforcement efforts against illegal mining are being supported by Budi Chandra, head of the TNGHS Office, and are carried out by the Forest Area Enforcement Task Force (PKH), which includes 10 ministerial agencies following directives from President Prabowo Subianto. The damage is particularly severe in Lebak regency, where PKH Commander Major General Dody Trywanto estimates forest damage between 10-15 percent.
