225 New Huts Found, Humane Request for Controlling the Soeharto Hill Tahura

"This is what we have to understand, why people are in the Tahura area. Maybe not only in Bukit Tengkorak, but it also happens in other places," he said.

Seno hopes that control will be accompanied by education because some people may not yet know the status of the area they live in.

"Therefore, the public must be well educated," he said.

He admitted that harmonizing the status of dozens of villages in the Tahura area was not an easy job. The East Kalimantan (Kaltim) Provincial Government stated that it was ready to work with OIKN and law enforcement officials to resolve this problem.

Tahura Protection Supports the IKN Forest City Concept

Head of OIKN Basuki Hadimuljono emphasized that the rescue of Tahura Bukit Soeharto was carried out in accordance with statutory provisions and in line with the concept of IKN as a forest city.

According to Basuki, around 50 percent of the IKN area is maintained as green open space. Tahura protection is a common interest that requires the involvement of various parties.

"It is not only OIKN's authority. There are around 34 percent of Tahura that need to be saved," said Basuki.
