The case states that although the alleged area is located within PT MJSP’s izin lokasi (location permit). It is no longer under the management control of PT MJSP since 2016, as the Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup & Kehutanan (KLHK) declared this area as a Community Forest Plantation (Hutan Tanaman Rakyat) area.
