The availability of favourable conditions for carbonate sedimentation around Borneo was related to a combination of factors, including tectonic setting, the formation of large basinal areas, dierential subsidence providing shallow marine areas, a tropical climate and a range of local factors, such as currents or limited clastic input. A detailed sedimentological and diagenetic study was undertaken of middle Eocene to Plio±Pleistocene carbonates which developed in the north Kutai Basin and the Mangkalihat Peninsula, northeast Kalimantan. Carbonate sedimentation in this area occurred in a range of depositional environments, from mixed carbonate clastic shelves, localised and transient shoals or reefs, a variety of platform top settings to deep water redeposited carbonates. An understanding of carbonate depositional environments, spatial facies relationships, and diagenesis is essential in order to develop models for these carbonates which can be used as predictive tools in the subsurface. This study also helps to evaluate tropical carbonate development in SE Asia and the evolution of sedimentary environments in Borneo during the Cenozoic. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

  • The Languages and Peoples of the Müller Mountains a Contribution to the Study of the Origins of Borneo’S Nomads and Their Languages
    PB Wacana Vol. 16 No. 2 (2015) B. Sellato and A. SorienteWacana Vol., The 16 languages No. 2 (2015): and peoples 339–354 of the Müller Mountains 339 The languages and peoples of the Müller Mountains A contribution to the study of the origins of Borneo’s nomads and their languages Bernard Sellato and Antonia Soriente Abstract The Müller and northern Schwaner mountain ranges are home to a handful of tiny, isolated groups (Aoheng, Hovongan, Kereho, Semukung, Seputan), altogether totaling about 5,000 persons, which are believed to have been forest hunter-gatherers in a distant or recent past. Linguistic data were collected among these groups and other neighbouring groups between 1975 and 2010, leading to the delineation of two distinct clusters of languages of nomadic or formerly nomadic groups, which are called MSP (Müller-Schwaner Punan) and BBL (Bukat-Beketan-Lisum) clusters. These languages also display lexical affinity to the languages of various major Bornean settled farming groups (Kayan, Ot Danum). Following brief regional and particular historical sketches, their phonological systems and some key features are described and compared within the wider local linguistic setting, which is expected to contribute to an elucidation of the ultimate origins of these people and their languages. Keywords Borneo, nomads, hunter-gatherers, languages, history, Müller Mountains, Punan, Bukat, Aoheng. Bernard Sellato is a senior researcher at the Centre Asie du Sud-Est (CNRS/EHESS) in Paris. He has been working in and on Borneo since 1973, first as a geologist and then as an anthropologist. He is the author or editor of a dozen books about Borneo, a former director of the Institute for Research on Southeast Asia in Marseilles, France, and for ten years was the editor of the bilingual journal Moussons.

  • Who Counts Most? Assessing Human Well-Being in Sustainable Forest Management

Assessing Human Well-Being The Grab Bag: Supplementary Methods for Assessing Human Well-Being Human Assessing for Methods Bag: Supplementary Grab The in Sustainable Forest Management Who Counts Most? Assessing Human Well-Being in Sustainable Forest Management presents a tool, ‘the Who Counts Matrix’, for differentiating ‘forest actors’, or people whose well-being and forest management are intimately intertwined, from other stakeholders. The authors argue for focusing formal attention on forest actors in efforts to develop sustainable forest management. They suggest seven dimensions by which forest actors can be differentiated from other stakeholders, and a simple scoring technique for use by formal managers in deter- mining whose well-being must form an integral part of sustainable forest management in a given locale. Building on the work carried out by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) on criteria and indi- cators, they present three illustrative sets of stakeholders, from Indonesia, Côte d’Ivoire and the United States, and Who Counts Matrices from seven trials, in an appendix. 8The Criteria & Indicators Toolbox Series FA-CIFOR-Toolbox8-11.05 6/15/99 7:51 AM Page A2 ©1999 by Center for International Forestry Research Designed and Printed by AFTERHOURS +62 21 8306819 Photography Gorilla g. beringei by Tim Geer (WWF) Waterfall, Indonesia by Susan Archibald Kenyah hunter, Tanah Merah, Indonesia by Alain Compost Dendrobium sp.

  • Introduction -- History and Conceptual Framework
    INTRODUCTION History and Conceptual Framework Carol J. Pierce Colfer and Yvonne Byron, with Ravi Prabhu and Eva Wollenberg Confusion and dismay are rampant among those concerned about human and environmental issues in the tropics, and with good reason. Forests are being degraded at apparently ever-increasing rates, and human welfare in for- ested areas is remaining at a constant level at best, more often deteriorating. Many people—researchers, environmentalists, and policymakers of various hues—are trying to address these problems. This book represents the evolu- tion of one cooperative effort to understand and develop mechanisms for dealing with these interrelated problems, and the authors propose some sug- gestions for improving our future efforts. In our research, we have asked ourselves one fundamental question: how can we create conditions that allow local people who live in and around for- ests to maintain the valued aspects of their own way of life and to prosper while still protecting those forests on which they, and perhaps the rest of us, depend? To answer that question, we needed first to identify the conditions that contribute to sustainable forest management (SFM) in general and to the well-being of forest-dwelling people in particular. Satisfied that we had a good grasp of the most important conditions (see later), we set out to exam- ine their relationship to sustainability. This examination is the central theme of this book. Central issues of concern include the identification and roles of relevant stakeholders (including gender and diversity, discussed in Section 1, and the relevance of a “conservation ethic,” discussed in Section 2), security of intergenerational access to forest resources (Section 3), and rights and responsibilities to manage forests cooperatively and equitably (Section 4).

Eleven species groups have been of the awaits further of recognized and defined.A more thorough understanding genus study Philip- pine and New Guinea materials. A key to the Bornean species, illustrations of 15 species, and eco- logical notes are provided. Two previously described species are recorded for the first time for Bor- neo: Medinilla succulenta (Blume) Blume, and M. pterocaula Blume. One new combinationand five reductions have been made. Medinilla tawaensis Merrill is transferred to Catanthera; M. caudatifolia Schwartz and M. hasseltii Blume var. subsessilis Schwartz are reduced to M. crassifolia (Reinw. ex Blume) Blume; M. dajakorum Schwartz is reduced to M. corallina Cogn.; M. borneensis Blume and M. motleyi Hook. f. ex Triana are conspecific with M. macrophylla Blume. Introduction Medinilla (Melastomataceae) is a genus of epiphytic and terrestrial shrubs and climbersof the Paleotropics. It includes about 400 species (Shaw, 1973) distributed in Africa, Madagascar, India, Ceylon, Burma, Indochina,southern China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and eastward to the islands of the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, northern Australia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. It is by far the largest of all melastome genera occurring in Malesia, a floristic region made up of the Malay Peninsula and islands of the Malay Archipelago extending to New Guinea.

  • Social Science Research and Conservation Management in the Interior of Borneo Unravelling Past and Present Interactions of People and Forests
    SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND CONSER The Culture & Conservation Research Program in Kayan Mentarang National Park, East Kalimantan, constituted a unique interdisciplinary engagement in central Borneo that lasted for six years (1991-97). Based on original ethnographic, ecological, and historical data, this volume comprehensively describes the people and the environment of this region and makes MANAGEMENT VATION IN THE INTERIOR OF BORNEO a rare contribution to the understanding of past and present interactions between people and forests in central Borneo. Kayan Mentarang has thus become one of the ethnographically best known protected areas in Southeast Asia. By pointing at the interface between research and forest management, this book offers tools for easing the antagonism between applied and scholarly research, and building much needed connections across fields of knowledge.
