JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Six companies in Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) have had their permits frozen along with the obligation to restore forest ecosystems in handling forest and land fires (karhutla). These sanctions increase the number of companies subject to administrative action to 32 companies with a total concession coverage of 1,931,115 hectares.

Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni announced this step in a press statement ahead of the Plenary Cabinet Session at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday (21/10/2026).

"Today, we are announcing another freeze and forced restoration of forest ecosystems for six companies," said Raja Juli Antoni.
