Tenurial conflict remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia’s forest governance, particularly where Indigenous communities’ customary tenure intersects with formal forest management. Conflicts between local communities and forest companies have increased significantly. These conflicts may be addressed through Forestry Partnerships as a collaborative governance mechanism for negotiating tenure rights, sharing management responsibilities, and improving community welfare. Although Forestry Partnerships are promoted to address such conflicts, previous studies in the PT Restorasi Ekosistem Indonesia (REKI) landscape have rarely examined how the distinctive socio-cultural characteristics of the Batin Sembilan shape conflict resolution. This study analyzes how the Batin Sembilan community in Simpang Macan Luar developed capacity, formulated and negotiated resolution options, obtained Forestry Partnership approval, and subsequently engaged with PT REKI. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings show that advocacy and negotiation enabled the community to overcome unequal bargaining positions and establish a formal partnership aligned with Ministerial Regulation No. 83/2016. The partnership strengthened recognition of customary tenure and enabled collaborative ecosystem restoration, while establishing a Forest Farmer Group (KTH), Social Forestry Management Plan (RKPS), and livelihood activities. However, tenure formalization, power asymmetries, and institutional capacity remain challenges. The study demonstrates that tenurial conflict resolution is a gradual social process shaped by community knowledge, capacity, and socio-cultural institutions. Sustained participatory processes, independent facilitation, community capacity building, and long-term institutional support are essential for equitable and durable partnershipsReferensi
