                 Indonesian forest resources, which function as one of the components of 
                 the life support system, constitute a trust from God for the people of 
                 Indonesia to be wisely managed so that they can provide optimal and 
                 sustainable benefits. Up to now, Indonesian forest resources have provided 
                 benefits as one of the main financing modes of national economic 
                 development, in the form of economic growth, labour absorption and 
                 regional development. 
                  
                 The commitment to manage forest resources is already in effect and aims 
                 toward forest preservation and sustainable development. In fact at this 
                 time, however, there are still weaknesses in management that are causing 
                 a decline in quantity and quality of forest resources, which at last are 
                 causing the appearance of environmental damages, economic losses, and 
                 social impacts at a very worrying level. 
                  
                 It is recognized that there is a diversity of desires, goals, and interests to 
                 various parties, including local, national and even global communities, for 
                 the benefits of forest resources. The solution for overcoming the issues 
                 above will be based on agreement by concerned forest sector stakeholders, 
                 based on equity and justice, as well as highlighting proposed management 
                 principles and existing values. 
                  
                 Starting now, the Indonesian nation had determined to make every effort 
                 to manage forest sustainability, prioritizing in the short run the protection 
                 and rehabilitation of forest resources for the greatest possible prosperity 
                 and justice for people.  
                  
                                                           
                  
                                                                  
                 1 Based on multi-stakeholder consultations in 6 main regions (Sumatra, Java-Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Borneo, Celebes, Maluku,, 
                 and Papua) in 2001-2005 and agreed in a National Workshop in December 2005.
