Primate habitat in North Sipora Sub-district, Mentawai Islands Regency, is threatened because there are seven access rights to the Forest Product Administration Information System (SIPUHH) of the Production Forest Management Centre (BPHP) Region III Pekanbaru.

SIPUHH is a web-based information system used as a means of recording and reporting forest product administration electronically.

Head of the Planning Section of BPHP Region III Pekanbaru, Ruslan Hamid, said that SIPUHH access rights are not permits but access rights given to landowners for the administration of timber forest products.

"SIPUHH access rights can be granted after the applicant completes very rigid requirements including a recommendation from the Regent and an Environmental Management Statement (SPPL) registered with the local Environmental Agency," Ruslan told Mentawaikita.com by telephone in mid-July.

According to Ruslan, the area where the seven SIPUHH accesses are located is not in a forest area, either production forest, conservation forest, or protected forest, but its function is APL (Other Use Area). "So the tenure status is in accordance with the latest regulation PP 8 KLHK in 2021 which is a derivative of PP 23 and a derivative of the Job Creation Law," he said.
