The existence of PI in monitoring the implementation of SVLK has a good impact on efforts to improve this system. The important role of PI is also legally stated in the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number 8 of 2021 concerning Forest Management and the Preparation of Forest Management Plans, as well as Forest Utilization in Protection Forests and Production Forests.
