Although there are numerous studies on forest fire prevention by government

policy in Indonesia, less research has systematically studied the particular group

such as women’s as supporting actor. This article analyses an involvement of

women’s on forest transfer policy in Siak Regency. This policy has one of best

practice to protect the environment through budget policy innovations in line

with the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Reducing

Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) agendas. Using

qualitative study in Siak regency, this paper demonstrates the ambiguity of

women’s roles in the forest transfer policy (Take). It argues that the women’s has

chance to participate in the Take policy. However, the women have not play an

active role in the Take policy. the women tended to be alienated in the

implementation of Take policy due to cultural and political barrier. As a result,

the women who sit in power should be able to supervise of Take policy.

Keywords: forest fire, transfer policy, women, Siak regency.
