Schlamadinger, B.[A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords]A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords

Despite abundant evidence that both the environment damage and the financial costs of logging can be reduced substantially by training workers, pre-planning skid trails, practicing directional felling, and carrying out a variety of other well-known forestry practices, destructive logging is still...

Autor: Angelsen, A.

This paper explores possible strategic interactions between the state and local community in games of tropical forest land appropriation. Three typical cases are discussed, corresponding to a development over time of increased resource competition and market integration. The local response to mor...


Angelsen, A.[Playing games in the forest: state-local conflicts of land appropriation]Playing games in the forest: state-local conflicts of land appropriation

Despite a long history of confrontation between forest agencies and forest people, “indigenous” or “local” practices are increasingly considered as a viable alternative of forest management. This paper is a synthesis derived from various long-term research programs carried out by the authors in S...

Attempts to reconcile economic development with environmental conservation in a forest area in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, are reviewed for the district of Malinau, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, an area of 42,000 km2 that is still largely covered in rainforest. The history of the region is describe...


Boedhihartono, Agni K.Gunarso, P.Levang, P.Sayer, Jeffrey A.[The principles of conservation and development: do they apply in Malinau?]The principles of conservation and development: do they apply in Malinau?

Ecologically sustainable forest management necessitates monitoring forest conditions and the environmental impacts of management activities. Through adaptive management, assessments that reveal excessive environmental impacts require revision of the management plan to ensure that ecological funct...


Geisler, C.C.Ghazoul, J.Hellier, A.[Setting critical limits to ecological indicators of sustainable tropical forestry]Setting critical limits to ecological indicators of sustainable tropical forestry

In this paper, we present an intensification model based on the intensity of exploitation and use of forests and forest lands as a relevant framework for analysing the appearance, dynamics, and evolution of different types of secondary forests. The systematic driving forces responsible for the di...


Chokkalingam, U.Smith, J.Jong, W. deSabogal, C.[A conceptual framework for the assessment of tropical secondary forest dynamics and sustainable development potential in Asia]A conceptual framework for the assessment of tropical secondary forest dynamics and sustainable development potential in Asia

This paper analyses the underlying causes of secondary forest formation and recovery in India, particularly the Western Ghats region of south India, from precolonial times to the present. In the pre colonial period, hunter gatherers, shifting cultivators and settled cultivators were the dominant ...


Bhat, D.M.Murali, K.S.Ravindranath, N.H.[Formation and recovery of secondary forests in India: a particular reference to western Ghats in South India]Formation and recovery of secondary forests in India: a particular reference to western Ghats in South India

Indonesia has extensive areas of post extraction secondary forests and degraded lands arising from intensive exploitation of forest resources in recent decades. Using the area of forests resulting from selective logging practices as an estimate, in year 2000, post extraction secondary forests cov...


Kartawinata, K.Riswan, S.Gintings, A.N.Puspitojati, T.[An overview of post-extraction secondary forests in Indonesia]An overview of post-extraction secondary forests in Indonesia

This paper provides the general objectives of the special issue: secondary forests in Asia: their diversity, importance and role in future environmental management. It provides a brief overview of the renewed attention to tropical secondary forests and sketches the history of research on this sub...
