In detail, the fragrant wood is found only in the dying treesand it appearsto be causedby a disease,which gains entry through the old decaying limbs. Normally the wood is soft, pale and odourless, but in stag-headedtrees there are found hard dark fragrant piecesembedded in the healthywood and theselumps, when chipped out and cleaned, are the Eaglewood or Aloe wood of commerce. The bark of the Malayan membersof the family is remarkably tough and stringy, and strips readily from the wood in long sheets. 1.1 Aquilaria malaccensisLamk. (Figure 1) The scientific name for Gaharu is Aquilaria malaccensis.The word Aquilaria comes from the Latin aquila which meanseagle, while malaccensis is of Malacca (one of the statesin Malaysia) and most probably this species has been first time found here. This specieshas varied local names from one place to another. It is commonestin Sabahand well known as Gaharu,while in Sarawak (Than Language) it is called Kayu Angkaras. In Peninsular Malaysia, it has five different names; Karas, Kempas (Malacca), Kekaras, Tengkaras,and Kayu Gaharu.The timber is not of commercialimportance but the fragrant wood left in some rotten branchesis used for carving and it is known as Aloe wood (incensewood). Also an interestingcharacteristic for this speciesis that in some trees the heartwood develops black fungal nodules, which smell sweetand can be used in the manufactureof perfume. Also this speciescan be usedas medicines. 2 Figure 1: Gaharutree (Aquilaria malaccensis) 2.0 Annotated Forest Key to Aquilaria a Leaves softly velvety beneath, particularly on the midrib, sometimes becoming almost glabrous with age; usually drying pale grey-green, sometimeswith a blue-greytinge on upper surface A. hirta Ridley.

The project was funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom. Information gained from the various case studies and technical studies has been extensively used. Data from the review of hardwood plantation areas was, for example, used in FAO’s Global Fibre Supply Model (FAO 1998), the Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Study (FAO 1998), State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 1997 (FAO 1997), 1999 (FAO 1999), and 2001 (FAO 2001), as well as in a number of other papers and studies. The UK/FAO project, further, formed the basis for a review of recent developments in hardwood plantations in the tropics, one of the studies on trends in plantations for the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FAO 2001).

  • The Borderlands of Southeast Asia Southeast of Borderlands the That Comforting Ambiguity Has Disappeared
    Edited by James Clad, Sean M. McDonald, and Bruce Vaughn s an academic field in its own right, the topic of border studies is experiencing a revival in university geography courses as well as in wider political commentary. Until recently, border studies in con- Atemporary Southeast Asia appeared as an afterthought at best to the politics of interstate rivalry and national consolidation. The maps set out all agreed postcolonial lines. Meanwhile, the physical demarcation of these boundar- ies lagged. Large slices of territory, on land and at sea, eluded definition or delineation. The Borderlands of Southeast Asia That comforting ambiguity has disappeared. Both evolving technologies and price levels enable rapid resource extraction in places, and in volumes, once scarcely imaginable. The beginning of the 21st century’s second decade is witnessing an intensifying diplomacy, both state-to-state and commercial, over offshore petroleum. In particular, the South China Sea has moved from being a rather arcane area of conflict studies to the status of a bellwether issue. Along with other contested areas in the western Pacific and south Asia, the problem increasingly defines China’s regional relationships in Asia—and with powers outside the region, especially the United States. Yet intraregional territorial differences also hobble multilateral diplomacy to counter Chinese claims, and daily management of borders remains burdened by a lot of retrospective baggage. The contributors to this book emphasize this mix of heritage and history as the primary leitmotif for contemporary border rivalries and dynamics. Whether the region’s 11 states want it or not, their bordered identity is falling into ever sharper definition—if only because of pressure from extraregional states.
