NGOs affiliated with the Mount Leuser National Park (TNGL) Rescue Coalition have urged President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to take immediate action to stop widespread illegal logging in the national park.
Coalition spokesman Panut Hadisiswoyo said the group would inform Jokowi that the TNGL Center, law enforcement agencies and local administrations had failed to curb forest conversion that has taken place in TNGL since the 1990s.
