Re: 1997 Performance Monitoring Report Dear Jerry, I am pleased to submit the attached 1997 Performance Monitoring Report from the Biodiversity Support Program(BSP). This report fulfills the cooperative agreement requirement that we submit a semi-annual report ofprogress by December 15. The 1997 Performance Monitoring Report represents a significant improvement in the way SSP conducts and reports on its performance monitoring efforts. As you are aware,.SSP is a dynamic and multi-dimensional program with four regional divisions, three cross-cutting programs, and a multitude ofregional and site-specific projects. It is clear from the 1997 Performance Monitoring Report that SSP implements, supports, and promotes a wide variety ofstrategies to achieve its ultimate goal ofconserving the world's biodiversity. Given its complex nature, SSP is faced with a particularly challenging task ofcarrying out performance monitoring in a consistent and meaningful way. Preparation ofthe first Indicators Report to USAID for FY96 (the 1996 Performance Monitoring Report submitted last year) was a time-intensive task, made more challenging by the need to reconcile the different approaches to indicator estimation, summarization, and presentation adopted by each BSP division. In addition, BSP discovered that manually compiling data from the various divisions required an enormous amount oftime and effort. Based on its experience from last year, BSP realized the need to further refine and focus performance monitoring by standardizing: I) the scale at which data are reported; 2) the definitions ofthe data being collected and recorded; 3). the methods with which data are collected and analyzed; and 4) the way in which data andinfo.rmation are reported. BSP determined that standardization ofthe process and focus ofstafftime on performance monitoring could best be accomplished. by automating the process. cia War/a Wilafife Funa. 1250 24th Street, NW.

Page 2 To this end, during FY97 BSP computerized its perfonnance monitoring using the industry­ standard database management software, MS-Access. Each division ofBSP maintains its own database to help serve its perfonnance monitoring needs. The division databases are then compiled automatically into a BSP-wide database with which we generate the final annual Perfonnance Monitoring Report. In this report, you will find I) a briefintroduction (including estimations ofcarbon sequestration attributable to BSP activities); 2) summary tables and narratives for all BSP Strategic Objectives and Intennediate Results; 3) worksheets that provide the details ofhow each value in the summary tables was obtained; and 4) a description ofthe assumptions used to collect and record data. The worksheets represent the computerized output ofthe BSP Perfonnance Monitoring Database. Computerization ofBSP's Perfonnance Monitoring has led to greater efficiencies in the way data are collected, recorded, analyzed, and reported. Most ofthe inconsistencies found in previous -reports have been eliminated because ofBSP's standardization and automation efforts. As a result ofthe investments we have made this year in our Perfonnance Monitoring Database, we feel the results are as reliable and precise as they can be. We plan to continue to refine our . perfonnance monitoring activities each year. We look forward to any comments you may have on the 1997 Perfonnance Monitoring Report or the process we undertook this year to increase the utility and"accuracy ofour reporting.

  • Khiri Travel Reveals New Products and Partnership Ahead of ITB Berlin
    Khiri Travel Reveals New Products and Partnership Ahead of ITB Berlin A new Thailand-Cambodia coastal combination, new frontiers in Sulawesi, tours with personality in Sri Lanka, add-on programs for Myanmar, and the announcement of a sales and marketing partnership for Germany will be among the Khiri Travel highlights at ITB Berlin 2018 Southeast Asia-based responsible tourism DMC, Khiri Travel has announced four new destination products for ITB Berlin and a new sales and marketing partnership for the German market. Here are the details: Indonesia: Connecting to Sulawesi and Beyond The new Khiri Travel office in Makassar, Sulawesi opened in December. It is now looking after Khiri itineraries in Sulawesi, Kalimantan, The Moluccas, and Papua. “Sulawesi is a massive destination in itself – with increasingly good air links,” says Herman Hoven, Khiri Travel Indonesia GM. An increasing number of direct flights from Singapore, Jakarta and Bali are making it more accessible. Hoven recommends Toraja, north to the Poso Lake and Bada Valley in Lore Lindu national park. Then over to the Togean islands to see the Bajo people who live on stilt houses in the open sea. He also recommends Wakatobi, a string of idyllic islands known to divers. Garuda now flies to Wakatobi. Thailand-Cambodia Coastal Connection Khiri Travel is now promoting Chantaburi in southeast Thailand. Known for its French influence over 100 years ago, most notably its church, the little-visited province can now be combined with nature conservation hikes and kayaking at the Cardamom Tented Camp in Cambodia. An option is to finish on the quiet Thai island beach retreat of Koh Kood.

  • THE SUSTAINABILITY of ECOTOURISM in INDONESIA Fact and Fiction
    11 THE SUSTAINABILITY OF ECOTOURISM IN INDONESIA Fact and fiction Janet Cochrane Traditional forms of tourism, particularly mass tourism to resorts and beaches, have well-documented detrimental effects on the regions and countries visited, ranging from marine pollution and coastal erosion to cultural dislocation of host populations. In the last decade sustainable tourism and ecotourism have been vaunted as answers to the problems of mass tourism and as a contribution to conservation of the world’s wild places and the welfare of indigenous peoples. This chapter will examine the theory and practice of ecotourism and sustainable tourism with particular reference to national parks and other protected areas in Indonesia. TOURISM IN NATIONAL PARKS In nineteenth century America, John Muir and other conservationists believed in ‘the revitalising powers of wild landscapes in an increasingly complex society’ (Pigram, 1983, p. 151), and thought that, if nature’s resources could be protected and opened up to serve the recreational needs of the general population, the public would in turn become motivated to support the parks. Similar arguments are used to support the establishment of protected areas in developing countries nowadays. ‘Some [Indonesian] planners believe that, over the long term, domestic tourism may be the most effective means of developing broad-based social awareness and support for nature conservation and parks’ (Robinson and Sumardja, 1990, pp. 210–11). The first North American parks were remote and difficult to reach, as many Indonesian parks are today, which meant they received few visitors. It was only much later, in the second half of the twentieth century, that carrying capacity for both the environment and the visitors themselves began to be exceeded.

    CONTINUATION AND DISCONTINUATION OF LOCAL INSTITUTION IN COMMUNITY BASED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Inaugural -Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Agrarwissenschaften (Dr. agr.) des Fachbereichs Ökologische Ag rarwissenschaften der Universität Kassel vorgelegt von Satyawan Sunito Juli 2005 Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Michael Fremerey Universität Kassel 2. apl. Prof. Dr. Werner Trossbach Universität Kass el Beratender Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. S.M.P. Tjondronegoro Indonesia i Abstract Currently the push toward frontier areas, which until twenty years ago were still largely untouched by commercial agriculture, is taking place on a massive scale. This push is being driven not the least by global economic developments, such as the price increase of agriculture commodities like coffee and cocoa. In most cases the indigenous communities become trapped between the state monopoly in natural resource management and the competition for resources by external actors. In this processes the indigenous communities start to lose their access to resources. Another victim in this process is the environment where the natural resources are imbedded. International and national organizations working to conserve environment have became conscious of the important role that indigenous people could fulfill as partners in this endeavour. This partnersh ip in struggle has produced a new discourse on the relationship between indigenous people and their environment. As a further consequence, programs were set up to develop what became known as Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) with its numerous variations. Based on a case study in a village on the eastern border of the Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, this study questioned the basic assumption behind the concept of Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM).

  • Stone Jar in Sumbawa: Distribution, Type, and Technology
    STONE JAR IN SUMBAWA: DISTRIBUTION, TYPE, AND TECHNOLOGY Bagyo Prasetyo Abstrak. Tempayan Batu di Sumbawa: Distribusi, Tipe, dan Teknologi. Di bagian barat Pulau Sumbawa terdapat peninggalan megalitik berupa tempayan batu, yang tersebar di beberapa tempat di Kabupaten dan Kota Bima (Nusa Tenggara Barat). Penelitian yang dilakukan di kawasan ini lebih difokuskan pada persebaran situs-situs, bentuk-bentuk tempayan maupun teknologi pembuatannya. Hasil penelitian telah menunjukkan adanya 8 situs yang tersebar di tiga desa meliputi Desa Rora, Palama, dan Kumbe, dengan jumlah temuan sebanyak 21 buah yang terdiri dari 18 wadah dan 3 tutup tempayan batu. Berdasarkan tipe morfologi membuktikan adanya beberapa bentuk yang membedakan dengan tempayan-tempayan batu yang ditemukan di kawasan Lembah Napu, Besoa, Bada di Sulawesi Tengah, Toraja di Sulawesi Selatan, dan Samosir di Sumatra Utara. Selain itu fakta juga memberikan adanya bukti-bukti teknologi berupa jejak-jejak pengerjaan pada tempayan batu. Kata kunci: tempayan batu, persebaran, tipe, teknologi Abstract. To the west of Sumbawa there are stone vats, a part of megalithic culture, which spread at several sites in the Regency and City of Bima, Sumbawa Island (West Nusa Tenggara). The study carried out in this area was more focused on site distribution, shapes of jars, and manufacturing techniques. Investigation result reveals eight sites dispersed at the villages of Rora, Palama, and Kumba, where 21 jars are found. The jars consist of 18 bodies and 3 lids. The morphological types show some stone jars that are different from the types found in other parts of Indonesia, such as Napu, Besoa, Bada Valley (Central Sulawesi), Toraja (South Sulawesi), and Samosir (North Sumatra).

  • The Megalithic Landscape of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
    THE MEGALITHIC LANDSCAPE OF CENTRAL SULAWESI, INDONESIA Chapter 6 The Megalithic Landscape of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia: Combining Archaeological and Palynological Investigations Wiebke Kirleis, Johannes Müller, Corinna Kortemeier, Hermann Behling and Santoso Soeghondo Abstract Central Sulawesi is characterized as both a hot spot of biodiversity as well as a megalithic landscape with a clustered distribution of megalithic sites. One of the main goals of this preliminary evaluation is to untangle the development of societies with monumental constructions in relation to environmental change and diversity. Initial results presented in this paper highlight the research potential of a combined investigation of ecological data and archaeological surveys. The conclusions are based both on pollen data as well as data regarding the spatial distribution and architecture of megalithic “kalambas” (jars), combined with the interpretation of the few available excavation reports. The palynological investigations concentrate on a comparison of on-site and off-site cores, to identify both the general vegetation dynamics as well as local anthropogenic influences that correspond with the environment. The archaeological considerations are based on spatial analyses and typological comparison of the architectural features of 15 sites (including 93 megaliths) in the Besoa valley and particularly at the Pokekea site. As a result of this work, we assume the existence of one central prehistoric domestic site with ritual activities and an associated spread of smaller hamlets, reflected in the distribution of megaliths for each basin. However, the chronological framework of the development is still uncertain. Anyhow, we offer a terminus ante quem for the erection of kalambas of around AD 830. Hypothetically, an initial opening of the landscape around 50 BC, as indicated by pollen analyses, may be linked to a possible early construction phase of the monuments.
