Can democratic processes favour conservation outcomes in the tropics? This study focuses on local viewpoints within a forested landscape of high conservation significance in East Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). Stakeholders received posters displaying results from a previous study; these posters ...


Padmanaba, M.Sheil, Douglas[Finding and promoting a local conservation consensus in a globally important tropical forest landscape]Finding and promoting a local conservation consensus in a globally important tropical forest landscape

Indonesia's 1999-2004 decentralization reforms created opportunities for land-use planning that reflected local conditions and local people's needs. We report on seven years of work in the District of Malinau in Indonesian Borneo that attempted to reconnect government land-use plans to local peop...

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 ...


Venter, O.Meijaard, E.Possingham, H.Dennis, R.A.Sheil, DouglasWich, S.Hovani, L.Wilson, K.A.[Carbon payments as a safeguard for threatened tropical mammals]Carbon payments as a safeguard for threatened tropical mammals

For hundreds of millions of people, biodiversity is about eating, staying healthy, and finding shelter. Meeting these people’s basic needs should receive greater priority in the conservation agenda.Wild and semi-wild plants and animals contribute significantly to nutrition, health care, income, a...

A non-technical account in Indonesian of the development and application of methods to assess biodiversity with the involvement of local communities in the forests of Malinau East Kalimantan. The new methods are shown to offer many benefits over more conventional approaches.

Tropical forest people often suffer from the same processes that threaten biodiversity. An improved knowledge of what is important to local people could improve decision making. This article examines the usefulness of explicitly asking what is important to local people. Our examples draw on biodi...

Based on an extensive review of the literature, and broad consultation with experts, we have assessed the sensitivity of Bornean vertebrates to the direct and indirect effects of timber harvest. Well-implemented selective logging has a relatively limited direct impact on wildlife populations: few...

The urgency of the tropical biodiversity crisis continues to be a major justification for wildlife research and its funding. To examine the benefits of this research for on-the-ground conservation, we focused on Borneo, where conservation has a long history and we have direct experience. We compi...
