Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputy chairman Busyro Muqoddas said a study on corruption conducted by the commission found that illegal logging and mining practices in Indonesia had involved at least 12 ministries and/or non-ministry governmental institutions.

Busyro went on to say that forest crimes occurred because the government conspired with perpetrators in forest areas used for intransparent business.

"Perpetrators of forest crimes are often called 'unidentified officials', however they commit the crime collectively," said Busyro in a statement made available to The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

He made the statements in a discussion, on Monday, held by Change.org in cooperation with Public Virtue Institute, End of the Icons, and Humanitarian Forums Indonesia at Muhammadiyah Central Board office to commemorate Earth Day which fell on April 22.

A researcher from ICW's law and monitoring division, Donald Fariz, said the forestry sector had been marred by corrupt practices that included chaotic permit issuance procedures.

"Many illegal logging activities are supported by security officers. I also think there was corruption in the revision process of Aceh's spatial planning bylaw (RTRW)," he said.

During the discussion, all participants urged the government to extend a moratorium that banned the issuance of new permits in natural forests and peat lands, which will expire on May 20.

They also urged the government to halt the revision process of Aceh's RTRW, which has the potential to reduce protected forests in Aceh, including a tropical forest acclaimed by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a "World Heritage" site. (ebf)
