Peat swamp forests are one of the unique ecosystems of Southeast Asia. These forests are not only a large carbon stock, but also a refuge for rich biodiversity. To understand the faunal composition and the effect of land-use changes in peat swamp forests, we investigated ground-dwelling mammals and birds using camera traps in a natural peat swamp...

Tropical peatlands have increasingly been targeted for logging or conversion to plantations in recent years. Tropical peatlands are unique ecosystems rich in biodiversity, but they have not attracted as much researcher attention as tropical forests, for example. There is still limited understanding of the ecological significance of peatland...

世界的に木材原料の天然林資源から人工林資源への移行が進行している。そのプロセスを理解するため、天然林コンセッションの資源が減少し．人工林コンセッション、土地転換材、住民林業からの木材生産が増大するインドネシアにおいて、国内の木材と木材製品の主要な生産地、また両者の関係がどのように変化したのかを分析した。インドネシアでは、1990年代までは主にカリマンタン．スマトラの天然林コンセッションで木材生産が行われ、域内で合板や製材品が生産されていた。2000年代以降、スマトラにおけるパルプ・チップ生産がインドネシアで最も木材を消費する木材製品製造業となり、原料は主にスマトラの人工林コンセッションからの木材が使われているが、他の地域の人工林コンセッションからの木材や...

Logging has been operated throughout Bornean tropical forests that harbor diverse fauna species. We examined the responses of ground-dwelling wildlife to logging intensity in two certified forest management units under the same climate and vegetation in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in 2012–2016. A total of ten and 13 circular plots with a diameter...

Today, 54% of the world’s population live in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66% by 2050. Major cities and municipalities in the region rely either fully or partially on groundwater. Four highly relevant Asian cities (Bangkok, Bandung, Ho Chi Minh and Lahore) were selected which bear groundwater dependency in the range of...

世界で有数な森林資源を有し、率先して REDD+の開発を進めるインドネシアに焦点をあて、2018 年 4 月時点の同国における REDD +の開発状況について解説

The Perusahaan Inti Rakyat (PIR) scheme, a smallholder support scheme in collaboration with plantation companies, was developed in the late 1970s in Indonesia. The idea of the PIR scheme is to improve the socioeconomic condition of smallholders. One of the ways of doing so is by providing technical and economic support and capacity building to help...

Modeling insecurity under future climate change and socio-economic development is indispensable for adaptive planning and sustainable management of water resources. This case study strives to assess the water quality and quantity status for both the present and the near future in the Ciliwung River basin inside the Jakarta Province under different...
