JAKARTA - The Forest Area Control Task Force (PKH Task Force) has controlled 81 thousand hectares of land in the Tesso Nilo National Park (TNTN) area, Pelalawan Regency, Riau.

"The Task Force is trying hard to restore the function of the national park as a conservation area to protect the biodiversity and conservation ecosystem. Therefore, 81,793 hectares have been controlled," said the Chief Executive of the PKH Task Force as well as the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General's Office, Febrie Adriansyah, in Jakarta, Wednesday, July 9, confiscated by Antara.

The land that has been controlled, he said, will be returned according to its function to become a forest.

On the same occasion, Deputy Minister of the PKH Task Force and Commander of the PKH Task Force Alpha Team Brigadier General Dodi Triwinarto revealed that TNTN had been added since 2004.

Then, since June 10, 2025, the PKH Task Force has succeeded in controlling 81,793 TNTN land.

From the results of the deepening, it is known that there is a rat path' used by the community to enter the national park land.

There are 13 rat road points that have been the door for people to enter the TNTN conservation area. As a result of the added industrial plantation forest (HTI), they do not understand and enter the TNTN. This is what has happened for almost 21 years, since 2004 until now," he said.

In order to maintain the land that has been controlled, the PKH Task Force deployed a number of personnel at these 13 points.

It is known that the PKH Task Force together with the Ministry of Transportation as the stakeholder of the conservation area since May 22, 2025 has carried out control of forest areas in TNTN in order to regain the State Forest of the TNTN Conservation Function to be returned as a function of forest areas.

Control is carried out by prioritizing a persuasive approach.

Given that the TNTN has been successfully controlled again, the state legally controls the national park area for further recovery.
