Abstract

The article focuses on Indonesia's recent actions to combat misconduct in its natural resource sector by seizing over 674,000 hectares of illegal palm oil plantations and parts of two nickel mines. The plantations, operating without proper permits, will be managed by the state-owned company Agrinas Palma Nusantara, which now oversees a total of 1.51 million hectares. The government, under President Prabowo Subianto, aims to address illegal mining and deforestation, which have significant environmental impacts and result in lost tax revenue. However, these measures may affect the supply of key export commodities, and the political landscape is complicated by civil unrest and recent cabinet changes. [Extracted from the article]
