" Peatlands adjacent to the concession Merauke Merauke Integrated Food and Energy Estate ( MIFEE ) are also not included in the indicative moratorium map of new licenses , " said Kiki .
Separately , Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Peat said Bambang Setiadi , has so far not set standards or peatland deforestation . This standard will be proposed to the Conference of the World Association of peat next year in Oslo , Norway .
" Government provision mentions only a limited depth of peat above 3 meters are not allowed to concessions industry . In fact , the environmental conservation of peatlands is not it , "said Bambang .
