“We will curb this conversion of mangrove land,” North Sumatera BKSDA head Jhon Kennedy said in Stabat on Wednesday, December 2, 2015.<\/p>\n

Jhon explained that he would coordinate with the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the National Police (Polri) to execute the land located at the Karang Gading conservation forest.<\/p>\n

“We will cut down all palm oil trees on the 432 hectares of land,” he said.<\/p>\n

Jhon added that the BKSDA used excavators to break through barriers allowing water to enter the land. The BKSDA also planned to conduct reforestation on the land.<\/p>\n

About 15,000 hectares of the Karang Gading conservation forest had been encroached by irresponsible individuals. The mangrove forest was converted into palm oil plantations, shrimp ponds and fishponds.<\/p>\n

Yuli revealed that the BKSDA would rehabilitate the forest by planting mangrove and other wildlife crop trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
