Wadley, R.L.Colfer, C.J.P.Dennis, R.A.Aglionby, J.[Paper parks and the social life of conservation: lessons from Danau Sentarum]Paper parks and the social life of conservation: lessons from Danau Sentarum

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the extent of forest and scrub burning in the Danau Sentarum area, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Burn scar areas were detected using remotely sensed data from four periods (1973, 1990, 1994 and 1997) obtained from a 24-year record. The results show a s...

One reason for the rapid loss of species-rich tropical forests is the high opportunity costs of forest protection. In Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), the expansion of high-revenue oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations currently threatens 3.3 million ha of forest. We estimate that payments for ...

The experience of three teams is recounted as they worked collaboratively with local Malay and Iban communities to manage the flooded and lowlan...


Wadley, R.L.Colfer, C.J.P.Dennis, R.A.Aglionby, J.[The 'Social Life' of Conservation: Lessons from Danau Sentarum]The 'Social Life' of Conservation: Lessons from Danau Sentarum

Tropical deforestation is leading to a loss of economically productive timber concessions, as well as areas with important environmental or socio-cultural values. To counteract this threat in Southeast Asia, sustainable forest management (SFM) practices are becoming increasingly important. We ass...


Dennis, R.A.Meijaard, E.Nasi, RobertGustafsson, L.[Biodiversity conservation in Southeast Asian timber concessions: a critical evaluation of policy mechanisms and guidelines]Biodiversity conservation in Southeast Asian timber concessions: a critical evaluation of policy mechanisms and guidelines

Deforestation and forest degradation are proceeding rapidly in the lowland forests of Indonesian Borneo. Time series analysis of satellite imagery provides an ideal means of quantifying landscape change and identifying the pathways which lead to the changes. This study investigates the forest and...


Dennis, R.A.Colfer, C.J.P.[Impacts of land use and fire on the loss and degradation of lowland forest in 1983–2000 in East Kutai District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia]Impacts of land use and fire on the loss and degradation of lowland forest in 1983–2000 in East Kutai District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

The recent forest fires in Indonesia have left severe scars on the environment and the economy. Remote sensing and GIS are being integrated and utilized to quantify the effects of the burning on the several local communities in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
