Notes
The Indonesian Government published a unified, national map of land-use cover, in a bid to resolve claims related to overlapping concessions (for mining, plantation and forest conservation) that have given rise to social conflicts and environmental problems. The detailed map reconciles 85 thematic maps managed by 19 different government agencies. Reportedly, the inclusion of maps on customary forests, indigenous territories, mining concessions and oil palm plantations is still under consideration, while regulations governing data sharing and access are currently being drafted.
