Saka Wanabakti Strengthened, Young Generation Touched Down to Directly Guard the Forest

According to him, Saka Wanabakti must be a learning space as well as a space for action for the younger generation to preserve the forest.

The coordination meeting also followed up on the results of the 2026 Saka Wanabakti National Census. Data collection recorded 314 unique respondents, 82 verified active bases, and 4,885 active members of the Enforcement and Pandega groups spread across 38 provinces.

The census results show that Saka Wanabakti institutions in a number of regions still face legality and activeness issues. However, activities at the site level continue to grow thanks to the role of Pamong, Instructors, alumni, and the support of related agency facilities.

These findings form the basis for the Ministry of Forestry to determine the form of guidance and intervention according to the conditions ofeach region.

Prepare Quick Steps in West Sumatra

In West Sumatra, coordination meetings result in a number of quick steps or quick wins. These steps include validating member and database data, revamping institutional legality, and determining priority bases.

Strengthening the role of the technical implementation unit of the Ministry of Forestry as a coaching node is also a concern. In addition, the government will encourage the preparation of the four Krida activities and build a member regeneration path, Pamong, and Instructors.

The four Krida consist of Tata Wana, Guna Wana, Bina Wana, and Reksa Wana. These four become the path of learning forestry skills for members of Saka Wanabakti.
