Abstract
- The article provides information on the forest management in Indonesia. The drive to sustain export earnings has more focused on expanding the production of pulp and paper and tree crops, especially oil palm. Not only has the use of forest resources been unsustainable, the distribution of benefits has been highly inequitable. Large-scale commercial logging activities have been a leading cause of deforestation and land degradation, although small-scale farmers have become a significant part of the process.
