This open access book presents the state-of-the-art environmental governance research and practices in Indonesia. It offers a wide scope, covering different sectors (e.g., forestry, mining) and geographical landscapes (e.g., inland and coastal areas). This book engages with existing theories and frameworks, including Earth System Governance, Adaptive and Interactive Governance, among others to trigger a debate regarding the operationalization of such concepts, which are mostly developed for the Global North context. It is also our ambition to incorporate more empirical knowledge from local contexts to indicate research gaps and future directions for environmental governance research agenda t...

This book extends the framework of the climate-energy-land nexus to elucidate political, economic, social, and institutional factors and causal mechanisms that stringent climate targets bring about, rather than mitigate a disproportional heavy burden on the forest sector in Indonesia. Assessing climate, energy, agricultural, forest, and transmigration policies, and REDD+ and biochar solutions through a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from biological, agricultural, technological, economic, and institutional lenses, the book identifies the political-economic and socio-technical regimes that cause the crosssectoral transfer of responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions to palm-oil-based bi...
Indigenous knowledge that embraces ornithology takes in whole social dimensions that are inter-linked with environmental ethos, conservation and management for sustainability. In contrast, western approaches have tended to reduce knowledge to elemental and material references. This book looks at the significance of indigenous knowledge of birds and their cultural significance, and how these can assist in framing research methods of western scientists working in related areas. As well as its knowledge base, this book provides practical advice for professionals in conservation and anthropology by demonstrating the relationship between mutual respect, local participation and the building of par...
The National Park of Indonesia is a book that we must read when we want to explore the 55 national parks that cover an area of more than 16 million hectares, its history of gazettement, geographic setting, beauty, uniqueness of ecosystems, habitat of flora and fauna, and abundance of ecotourism sites. The book was written by Indonesia’s living legend in biological conservation, Prof Jatna Supriatna (Universitas Indonesia) and Prof Chris Margules (James Cook University). This book is a comprehensive guidebook showing to the readers and the world how the magnificence of Indonesia’s archipelagos as a center of mega biodiversity combined by the richness in culture of local communities and th...
Beginning in December 2019, the coronavirus swept quickly through all regions of the world. COVID 19 has wreaked social, political and economic havoc everywhere and has shown few signs of entirely abating. The recent development and approval of new vaccines against the virus, however, now provides some hope that we may be coming to the beginning of the end of the pandemic. This volume collects papers from a conference titled Economic Dimensions of COVID 19 in Indonesia: Responding to the Crisis, organised by the Australian National University’s Indonesia Project and held online 7–10 September 2020. Collectively, the chapters in this volume focus for the most part on the economic elements of COVID 19 in Indonesia. The volume considers both macro- and micro-economic effects across a variety of dimensions, and short- and long-term impacts as well. It constitutes the first comprehensive analysis of Indonesia’s initial response to the crisis from an economic perspective.
Buku ini dimaksudkan untuk membangkitkan semangat dan membantu mengungkapkan salah satu misteri pengetahuan alam terbesar yaitu keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia. Dengan kerja taksonomi, maka kita berperan menjadi detektif, yang bahkan menembus ruang dan waktu ke masa ratusan tahun silam, ketika suatu spesimen ditemukan kemudian diberi nama spesies yang unik. Saat ini para pihak semakin menyadari pentingnya pengetahuan yang bersumber dari berbagai sumber yang bersifat majemuk. Termasuk di antaranya adalah pengetahuan dari masyarakat, dan penggemar alam. Dengan demikian, buku ini mempromosikan tiga pendekatan penting, yaitu ilmu murni, sains warga atau ilmu khalayak (Vohland dkk 2021) dan pengetahuan tradisional atau kearifan lokal. Setiap orang dapat menjadi penemu. Dunia membutuhkan agar Indonesia mengembangkan kapasitas lebih banyak peneliti, pengamat, dan penemu spesies. Besar harapan, buku ini dapat membantu menguraikan sekat-sekat ilmu pengetahuan, agar lebih banyak warga, dan penduduk setempat dengan kearifan lokal dapat berlomba-lomba berkontribusi bagi ilmu pengetahuan keanekaragaman hayati dan konservasi di Indonesia.

The Ramsar Convention was established in 1971 to ensure the conservation and wise use of wetlands across the world. India joined the Convention in 1982, however, in the past 50 years despite Ramsar’s incredible achievements, the threat to wetlands across the globe, including India, has not diminished. This book studies the governance of multiuse wetlands in India. The volume provides an exhaustive analysis of rural, peri-urban and urban human-made wetlands to establish the relevance of institutional design and the effective role of authority in governing multiuse wetland ecosystem services. The author argues that the most challenging task in governing wetlands is to frame institutional cho...
