Sentinel Landscapes initiative
This publication is part of the Sentinel Landscape network initiative established in eight sites around the world representative of widely different biophysical and socioeconomic contexts. Here we present and summarize the results of the research and baseline studies carried out in West Kalimantan, Borneo. Within the Kapuas Hulu regency, two districts were selected as ‘sentinel sites’: (1) a traditionally managed landscape with direct influence on watersheds to the north of Danau Sentarum National Park wetlands (Batang Lupar); and (2) a contrasting area in the south with improved infrastructure along the mainsouthern road from Sintang to Putussibau, to bring a different context (Mentebah).
Agroforestry for Sustainable Intensification of Agriculture in Asia and Africa
This edited book opens up new vistas for sustainable intensification in agriculture to provide food to ever growing population as well as adapting to the risks of global environmental change. Diverting from conventional agriculture, the book explores new dimensions and concepts that have been identified for future research and development in sustaining agriculture in Asia and Africa regions. The chapters are written by leading researchers and practitioners in the field of agroforestry. The book demonstrates how agroforestry could be instrumental in bringing stability and sustainability in agricultural production. It offers sustainable solutions for the impending problems of climate change, ecosystem degradation, declining agricultural productivity, and uncertain food security. It is an essential resource for students in agroforestry courses, as well as a valuable introduction to the field for professionals in related areas.
Asia-Pacific roadmap for primary forest conservation
The purpose of the roadmap is to delineate and inform the process by which decision makers and actors can evaluate the status, diversity and trends of primary forests in the region, identify priority areas for primary forest conservation, assess the threats they face, and explore possible ways to address them. This report suggests a practical process in four steps, through which the recommendations can be articulated at different scales (from regional to local) and adapted to the specific context, priorities and needs of various forest types, countries and categories of actors.
Transitioning to Zero Hunger
In 2015, the United Nations decided to establish the goal of achieving “zero hunger” in the world by 2030 through “outcome targets” such as eliminating hunger and improving access to food, ending all forms of malnutrition, promoting sustainable and resilient agriculture, and maintaining genetic diversity in food production. As a result of this decision, strategies are under way in different countries around the world in the form of political, academic, development, and non-governmental organization projects and programs. Five years later, these strategies have certainly generated results that need to be documented and analyzed so as to answer the following questions: what are the pro...
Operationalizing integrated landscape approaches in the tropics
Poverty, food insecurity, biodiversity and habitat loss are persistent global challenges that are further exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. These challenges are particularly hard felt in the tropical landscapes of the global South where tensions between local socio-economic and international environmental commitments are pervasive. Due to the apparent failure of sectorial approaches to address such challenges, more holistic strategies are being increasingly promoted. Integrated landscape approaches are one such example; essentially a governance strategy that engages multiple stakeholders to reconcile societal and environmental objectives at the landscape scale to identify trade-o...

Rayuan sastra ternyata menggiurkan. Rayuan adalah upaya memikat pihak lain, yaitu pariwisatawan. Rayuan “maut” sastra tidak perlu diragukan lagi. Sebab sastra itu dunia kata.

Fitnah Sufi : Fatamorgana Tasawuf Fenomena Tarekat (Penerbit UM)
Buku ini dibahagikan kepada dua bahagian utama; Bahagian I – Tasawuf: Serangan dan Sanggahan dan Bahagian II –Kritikan Rasul Dahri: Penilaian Semula. Menerusi perbincangan dalam Bahagian I, penulis menyanggah semula pelbagai pertuduhan dan tohmahan yang dilemparkan terhadap tasawuf. Tujuannya untuk membersihkan fitnah yang dipalitkan kepada tasawuf secara kritis melalui wacana intelektual demi mempertahankan kebenaran dan kesucian tasawuf di sisi Islam. Bahagian II pula secara khusus untuk menepis dan menjernihkan cercaan dan cemuhan yang ditusuk oleh Rasul Dahri terhadap tasawuf menerusi bukunya, Bahaya Tarikat Sufi/Tasawuf Terhadap Masyarakat (1998). Hujah yang dikemukakan menerusi buku ini bertujuan membuktikan kebenaran dan kesucian tasawuf selain hujah yang mempertahankan tasawuf daripada belenggu pelbagai fitnah yang menyebabkan pandangan serong dan kefahaman keliru masyarakat.
