Introduction This chapter provides an overview of East Kalimantan in general and the three districts of Paser, Nunukan and Kutai Kartanegara in particular where the research was conducted. It covers the location, climate and geography, the land use systems and forest activities, as well as social-economic factors and human population. This chapter also examines the situation following the introduction of a policy of decentralization in 1998, which resulted in drastic political and economy changes, including an increase in local government revenues, a reduction in the role of forests in government revenues, an increase in the number of districts and the construction of many new district capitals and infrastructure facilities in the province. The chapter also discusses the methods used to analyse traditional forest management systems related to the management of ironwood, an inventory of the natural distribution of ironwood, the cultivation knowledge held by indigenous people, the current trade of ironwood products in East Kalimantan, as well as ironwood conservation efforts. The methods were developed based on references by botanists (Keßler & Sidiyasa 1994; Slik et al. 2007), ecologists (Suselo 1987; MacKinnon 1992), silviculturists (Masano & Omon 1983), economic-anthropologists (Dove 1988; Padoch & Peluso 1996; Peluso 1983, 1992) and anthropologists (Obidzinski 2003). The research is also supported by historical information about ironwood in Borneo and Kalimantan from various sources (Knapen 2001; Wadley 2005), including colonial literature. East Kalimantan is one of the richest provinces in Indonesia in terms of natural resources. The diversity of ethnic groups that live in this area reflects the diversity of resource control and tenure systems. Generally, within the communities of East Kalimantan, resources concentrated in a particular area (such as birds’ nest caves) can be considered private property. Some wild resources, such as rattan, are also domesticated 47 Can traditional forest management protect and conserve ironwood (ulin) stands? and planted by villagers in areas where they are abundant (Eghenter 2000b). However, scattered resources, such as gaharu or agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) (Momberg et al. 1997) and ironwood, tend to become common property because it is difficult to privatise these resources or allocate them to individuals. The changing economic importance of the province has also resulted in considerable social changes. Until two centuries ago, the majority of the inhabitants of the coasts and riverbanks of Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo) were Malay people, while indigenous inhabitants lived in the interiors. Gradually, other ethnic groups came to claim their economic niche: the Chinese, the Bugis from Sulawesi, and later people from other islands in the archipelago. This last group came as transmigrants or as spontaneous migrants. Their influx consistently pushed back the native Dayak people to more remote places. Along with booming timber and oil exploitation came at significant opening up of large parts of East Kalimantan. This was followed by large-scale agricultural development projects, which continue today. The native farmers, living in the remoter interiors, subsist on upland rice cultivation, produced in annually cleared swiddens. 2.2. East Kalimantan province Location The province of East Kalimantan is one of 33 provinces in Indonesia. It is located in the Kalimantan region on the eastern side of Borneo Island (see fig.2.1) between 04°024’ north latitude – 02°25’ south latitude and 113°44’ – 119°00’ east longitude. Its surface area is equal to 1.5 times the surface of Java and the Madura Islands combined (see fig.2.1). The province borders the neighbouring country of Malaysia and specifically, its states of Sabah and Sarawak (Statistics for East Kalimantan Province, www.kaltim. bps.go.id). The national and international borders of the East Kalimantan can be summarised as follows: • In the north, the province borders Sabah state (eastern Malaysia). • In the east, it meets Makassar Bay and the Sea of Sulawesi. • Its southern is adjacent to South Kalimantan province. • In the west, East Kalimantan borders Central Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and the Malaysian state of Sarawak. 48 Description of the research area and methods Climate and geography The province of East Kalimantan has a tropical climate. In 2009, the climatic conditions of the province reflected the patterns of a tropical zone of high humidity (an average of 80 per cent), with an average monthly rainfall of 122-267 mm, an average temperature of 23.42o-32.62o Celsius, and low wind speed (0.7–8 knots). The average annual temperature of East Kalimantan is 26° Celsius and the maximum temperature is between 22.6° and 35° Celsius. The average humidity is 1001.82 milli bares and the average rain fall is 19 mm per year (Statistics for East Kalimantan Province 2010, www.kaltim.bps. go.id). Climatic changes are caused by the fact that a major part of this province consists of forest. East Kalimantan has an undulating topography. The southern part of the province is a relatively urbanised area with fertile agricultural land and a well-developed road network. The remainders of the province is largely covered with rain forest and very sparsely populated. Road connections within the province and to other parts of Kalimantan are developing, which explains the relative importance of air and sea transport. The national road system in East Kalimantan covers 9,878.78 km, with 1,762 km of provincial roads and 8,116 km of regency roads (Statistics for East Kalimantan Province 2010, www.kaltim.bps.go.id). The province has a large network of rivers, which constitute the main route for communication and transport. Indeed, rivers are essential to people of East Kalimantan as traffic lanes for water transportation, water supply and habitat for aquatic fauna. Land use The province of East Kalimantan is the second largest Indonesian province, after Papua province. Administratively, the province is divided into ten districts or kabupatens and four municipalities or kotamadyas: Balikpapan, Samarinda, Bontang and Tarakan. The latter two fast growing towns have been designated as new municipalities. The districts are: Paser and Penajam North Paser (in the south) and Kutai Kartanegara, East Kutai, West Kutai, Berau, Malinau, Nunukan, Bulungan and Tana Tidung (in the north). Samarinda is the provincial capital. Three of these districts have been selected for in-depth study for this thesis; namely, Paser (in relation natural distribution and traditional forest management of ironwood); Nunukan (cultivation and conservation efforts of ironwood) and Kutai Kartangera (the chain of production to consumption) (see fig.2.1). East Kalimantan covers approximately 208,657.17 km2. This comprises 198,441.17 km2 (95.10 per cent) land and 10,216.57 km2 (4.90 per cent) seawaters, which is about 10.47 per cent of the total Indonesian land area. East Kalimantan land is used for industry (0.13 per cent), rice fields (2.07 per cent), plantation (2.20 per cent), forest (93.5 per cent), irrigation and others (2.13 per cent) (Statistics for East Kalimantan Province 2010, www.kaltim.bps.go.id). 49 Can traditional forest management protect and conserve ironwood (ulin) stands? Nunukan District Paser District Kutai Kartanegara District Figure 2.1. Map of East Kalimantan and the location of the research areas East Kalimantan has areas of forest, agricultural areas, shifting cultivation and plantations for oil palm. The development of timber estates and oil palm plantations has increased the conversion of forest areas. This conversion has particularly increased in recent years in areas where the national policy for developing two million hectares of oil palm is being implemented (FWI/GFW 2002). East Kalimantan is one of the Indonesian provinces involved in this policy implementation. Following a drastic reduction of labour in the forestry industry sector since 2001, oil palm has been valued as an important source of employment opportunities. This oil palm policy was also 50 Description of the research area and methods triggered by the condition that many parts of former logging concessions are viewed as unproductive land and are seen as prime locations for conversion to oil palm plantations. Based on the Statistics for East Kalimantan 2005, since 1980s, close to 600,000 ha of forest areas have been converted for oil palm plantation and another 1.6 million ha have been converted for the settlement of transmigrant, road construction, industrial estates and timber estate areas. Throughout East Kalimantan, road building and deforestation are closely linked. Construction of roads and the trans-highway have encouraged colonisation, which, in turn, has led to deforestation of large areas of lowland tropical

  • Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas
    Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO) March 2015 Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Eiichiro Nakama, Seiichi Ohta, Yasuo Ohsumi, Tokunori Mori and Satohiko Sasaki Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center Fakhrur Razie, Hamdani Fauzi and Mahrus Aryadi Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center March 2015 Foreword During the past decades, deforestation and forest degradation continues especially in developing countries. According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

Biodiversitas 18: 1568-1588. Sempu Island is a small Island in Indonesia that has an important functional role as a nature reserve to protect unique landscapes and high plant species richness. Within the Island, one of the most frequently visited areas, Segara Anakan, needs careful attention in order to conserve its plant diversity. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the species richness, conservation status, and potential uses of plants in Segara Anakan, Sempu Island. The aim was to support management of the area and to reveal plants that have potential to be developed for useful products. A total of 77 plant species belonging to 43 families were recorded within the study area. These consisted of trees (55.84 %), shrubs (33.77%), herbs (9.09%) and epiphytes (1.3%).

Running title: Orangutan types and type localities Abstract Uncertain type localities undermine orangutan nomenclature. Bequeathed to the British Museum, the holotype of Pongo pygmaeus, according to Hans Sloane’s catalogue, came from Borneo and died in China. The historical evidence makes Banjarmasin its most probable type locality. William Montgomerie, Assistant Surgeon at Singapore from 1819-1827, and Senior Surgeon from 1832, supplied the holotype of Simia morio. In 1836 an adult female orangutan reached Singapore alive from Pontianak, Borneo. The holotypes of S. morio, S. hendrikzii, S. straussii and P[ithecus] owenii probably had the same origin, as pirate attacks endangered visits to other Bornean coasts. Absent from Brunei and north Sarawak, Malaysia, throughout the Holocene, orangutans occur there only as Pleistocene subfossils at Niah.
