Life After Logging
This book presents a technical review of ecological and life history information on a range of Bornean wildlife species, aimed at identifying what makes these species sensitive to timber harvesting practices and associated impacts. It addresses three audiences: 1) those involved in assessing and regulating timber harvesting activities in Southeast Asia, 2) those involved in trying to achieve conservation goals in the region, and 3) those undertaking research to improve multipurpose forest management. This book shows that forest management can be improved in many simple ways to allow timber extraction and wildlife conservation to be more compatible than under current practices. The recommenda...
Anthropogenic Tropical Forests
The studies in this volume provide an ethnography of a plantation frontier in central Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Drawing on the expertise of both natural scientists and social scientists, the key focus is the process of commodification of nature that has turned the local landscape into anthropogenic tropical forests. Analysing the transformation of the space of mixed landscapes and multiethnic communities—driven by trade in forest products, logging and the cultivation of oil palm—the contributors explore the changing nature of the environment, multispecies interactions, and the metabolism between capitalism and nature. The project involved the collaboration of researchers specialising in...
Deadly Dances in the Bornean Rainforest
For two years Rajindra Puri lived and hunted with the Penan Benalui people in the rainforest of eastern Borneo in Indonesia. Here he reports on Penan hunting techniques, the knowledge required to be a successful hunter, and the significance of hunting for Penan communities. A hunt offers the opportunity for younger Penan to learn crucial survival skills, knowledge of the environment, local geography, genealogy, history, and beliefs and values. Songs and stories recount hunting adventures and legends, while ceremonial dances demonstrate the coordination and agility required of the expert hunter. The author makes a case for using active participant-observation, in conjunction with standard ethnobiological research methods, for documenting non-verbal knowledge. Included here are 21 months of hunting records and comprehensive appendices on game species and ethnobiological data. This work will be useful to anthropologists, conservation biologists, and those interested in Indonesian ethnobiology.
Hutan pasca pemanenan
Buku ini berisi kajian teknis mengenai informasi ekologis dan kehidupan serangkaian spesies satwa liar Borneo. Kajian ini ditujukan untuk mengidentifikasi penyebab berbagai spesies satwa peka terhadap kegiatan penebangan kayu dan dampak yang ditimbulkannya. Buku ini ditujukan bagi mereka yang: 1) terlibat dalam pengkajian dan pengaturan kegiatan pemanenan kayu di Asia Tenggara, 2) terlibat dalam upaya pencapaian tujuan konservasi di wilayah ini, dan 3) melakukan penelitian untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan hutan yang multifungsi. Kami menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan hutan dapat ditingkatkan dengan berbagai cara sederhana untuk menyelaraskan tujuan pemanenan kayu dan konservasi hidupan liar. Rekomendasi yang disampaikan dapat bermanfaat bagi lembaga-lembaga pemerintah dan organisasi nonpemerintah yang berupaya untuk memajukan pengelolaan hutan yang berkelanjutan dan ekolabel. Untuk itu kami mengidentifikasi sejumlah kelemahan dan celah dari pemahaman dan pengetahuan yang ada, dan selanjutnya kami berharap dapat menarik minat masyarakat ilmiah dan memicu penelitian lebih lanjut.
Elinor Ostrom and the Bloomington School of Political Economy
Elinor (Lin) Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her pathbreaking research on "economic governance, especially the commons"; but she also made important contributions to several other fields of political economy and public policy. The range of topics she covered and the multiple methods she used might convey the mistaken impression that her body of work is disjointed and incoherent. This four-volume compendium of papers written by Lin, alone or with various coauthors (most notably including her husband and partner, Vincent), supplemented by others expanding on their work, brings together the common strands of research that serve to tie her impressive oeu...
