Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI) urged the governor of Aceh, Aceh, Irwandi Yusuf, Aceh Green reevaluate the concept that has been executed. "We think up to now the implementation of the concept of Aceh Green has not been effective. In fact, the concept of the Green Aceh is already running two years," said Executive Director of WALHI Aceh, TM Zulfikar, in Banda Aceh on Monday. He said, three concepts can be saved in Aceh Green, which is a redesign, reforestation and deforestation. But in the journey, the three concepts that have not run optimally. He said the concept of rearranging (redesign) of restructuring the management and exploitation of forest areas. Ironically, until now, until now the concept was not clear because it still happened exploitation of forest areas. "Indeed, this concept is supported policy or a moratorium on logging moratorium issued by the government of Aceh. But, this policy also does not run optimally, still happened logging, both legal and illegal," he said. So is the concept of reforestation, which rearrange the damaged forests, not to function properly. In fact, forest damage was becoming worse, causing catastrophic flooding for the community. TM Zulkfikar added, which overcomes the concept of forest deforestation is also not effective. Still happened clearing forest areas for plantation grounds. According to him, yet effective concept of Aceh Green is because the process is slow in the field. This is also due to weak law enforcement related to illegal logging. "All these concepts must be reviewed, so the concept of Aceh Green run effectively. Moreover, forest areas in Aceh began to enter the era of carbon trading," he explained.
