Ministry of Forestry Encourages KHDTK to Become Forestry Innovation Center

SAMARINDA, GARISBUMI.com – The Ministry of Forestry encourages each Forest Area with a Special Purpose or KHDTK for Forestry Education and Training to set a concrete target that must be realized within one year.

The target is part of the transformation of KHDTK into a Center of Excellence or a leading center for human resource development, research, technology, and forestry innovation.

The idea was discussed at the 2026 Forestry Training KHDTK Management Coordination Meeting held in Samarinda, East Kalimantan (Kaltim), on September 14-15, 2026.

Rakor brings together 44 KHDTK Forestry Training managers from all over Indonesia. Participants come from the elements of higher education leaders as well as ministries and institutions.

The head of the Ministry of Forestry's Human Resources Counseling and Development Agency, Indra Exploitasia, said rakor should produce measurable changes, not stop at discussing problems.

“This rack does not stop at the discussion. Each KHDTK must go home with a clear target. When we meet again in 2027, what we bring is no longer a list of problems, but successes and good practices that can be shared with other KHDTKs," said Indra.
