The protected land status is crucial for several strategic permits. "The permit for the establishment of the UNY branch campus in Blora is finally complete. Blora's status is among the 13 regencies above 87 percent. Our LP2B is around 88 percent. This is an important requirement for LSD permits, the People's School, and the establishment of the UNY campus," he explained. Land designated as LP2B cannot be converted, reinforcing national food security.

Governor of Central Java Ahmad Luthfi noted that Blora proposed about 61,006 hectares of land as LP2B, reaching 88.23% of its total arable land. This exceeds the national target.
