Since June 2021, the RFF has planted over 10,000 seedlings of over 50 tree species on 63 hectares. There are illegal plantations within the Silabukan Forest Reserve. The project has also called on the local authorities, who are now actively stopping the constant expansion of illegal plantations into the forest reserve.
