Indonesia central government has recognized the rights of nine indigenous communities to the forests. That movement still has long way to go, the nine “customary forests” encompass a total of 13,100 hectares. By comparison, Indonesia’s nine biggest oil palm firms in 2013 had planted nearly 2 million hectares.
