Merbau tree (Intsia spp., also known as Kwila) inside the forest in Kaureh sub-district, Jayapura regency close to the palm oil concessions issued to the Musim Mas group. 12 Mar, 2014.
In 2011, the Musim Mas Group started obtaining permits for four concessions located in remote primary forest in the Mamberamo River basin in Jayapura and Sarmi regencies, in the north of Papua Province, registered to PT Daya Indah Nusantara (PT DIN), PT Wira Antara (PT WA), PT Siringo-Ringo (PT SRR) and PT Megasurya Mas. By late 2014, all four concessions had been released from the forest estate. PT WA and PT DIN were both granted forest release by then Minister Zulkifli Hasan in September 2014, his last month in office.
