SUMMARY Rural forest managers in tropical countries have used and traded forest products as long as historical annals recorded this. They also conserved forest for the sake of sustaining the supply of these forest products. These realities have drawn the attention to forest commodities among development and conservation practitioners. It was expected that increasing forest product trade could increase the income of the rural poor living in or close to tropical forests. The international tropical forest conservation movement, in turn, foresaw that commercialisation of forest products could contribute to conserving tropical forests. This volume critically investigates the proposition that commercialisation of forest products contributes to both enhancing people’s income and to conservation of tropical forests, using evidence from a case study from West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The volume draws the main conclusion that promoting commercialisation of forest products often leads to a shift of the dominance of this trade by outside entrepreneurs. Even where local people manage to control the trade, the conservation impact on tropical forests is only indirect. By studying detailed examples of local forest management in three indigenous villages in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, the volume concludes that the conservation of tropical forests through forest products commercialisation is most likely to happen when local producers shift to active management of forest products in anthropogenic forests. The long-term impact of such local forest management depends importantly on how local or regional economies develop. Land use intensification may take place on some parts in the landscape, whereas previously intensively managed forests may be left to themselves. Seven chapters that discuss different aspects of forest product trade and forest management in West Kalimantan support these conclusions. Indigenous swidden agriculturists in Kalimantan usually incorporate forest management in their portfolio of economic activities. This type of land-use, however, is closely integrated with the swidden agriculture cycle as it competes for land and labour. Management of swidden fallow secondary forests may include conversion towards extensive tree crop production when there is the threat that fallow land may turn into Imperata grasslands. Conversion of swidden fallow land into extensively managed rubber gardens may lead to an effective increase of land under forests. Specific forest management practices, like protection and tending of trees in which honey bees nest, can be used in reforestation efforts. Some of these types of managed forests maintain a complex structure and species diversity that is sufficiently high to consider their contribution to conservation. RINGKASAN HASIL HUTAN DAN PENGOLOLAN HUTAN LOKAL DI KALIMANTAN BARAT, INDONESIA: IMPLIKASI UNTUK KONSERVASI DAN PEMBANGUNAN Para pengelola hutan di negara-negara tropis sudah memanfaatkan dan melakukan perdagangan berbagai jenis hasil hutan sejak lama sekali ketika sejarah mulai mencatat kegiatan ini. Mereka ini juga melestarikan hutan supaya berbagai hasil hutan yang berasal dari dalamnya dapat diambil terus-menerus. Kenyataan ini telah menarik perhatian terhadap komoditas hasil hutan di kalangan para praktisi pembangunan konservasi. Peningkatan perdagangan hasil hutan diharapkan dapat memperbaiki pendapatan masyarakat pedesaan yang tinggal di dalam atau di sekitar hutan tropis. Kalangan internasional dalam gerakan konservasi hutan tropis juga melihat bahwa komersialisasi berbagai jenis hasil hutan berpotensi untuk memberikan sumbangan bagi konservasi hutan tropis. Publikasi ini berusaha melakukan investigasi secara kritis mengenai pandangan bahwa komersialisasi berbagai jenis hasil hutan berpotensi meningkatkan pendapatan bagi masyarakat dan juga bagi konservasi hutan tropis, dengan menggunakan bukti-bukti dari suatu studi kasus di Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa promosi komersialisasi berbagai jenis hasil hutan sering menyebabkan perdagangan ini menjadi lebih didominasi oleh kalangan pengusaha dari luar. Bahkan ketika penduduk lokal sanggup mengontrol perdagangan ini, dampaknya bagi konservasi hutan tropis hanya bersifat tidak langsung. Dengan mempelajari contoh-contoh pengelolaan hutan oleh penduduk lokal secara mendetail di tiga desa di Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia, dapat disimpulkan bahwa konservasi hutan tropis melalui komersialisasi berbagai jenis hasil hutan kemungkinan besar hanya terjadi ketika para produsen lokal terlibat aktif dalam pengelolaan berbagai hasil hutan di hutan-hutan yang dikelola manusia. Dampak jangka panjang dari pengelolaan hutan secara lokal ini sangat bergantung pada bagaimana perekonomian lokal dan regional berkembang. Intensifikasi pemanfaatan lahan mungkin terjadi di sebagian dari lanskap, sementara hutan yang sebelumnya dikelola secara intensif mungkin akan dibiarkan saja. Tujuh bab dalam buku yang menguraikan berbagai aspek yang berbeda dari perdagangan hasil hutan dan pengelolaan hutan di Kalimantan Barat ini mendukung kesimpulan di atas. Para peladang berpindah asli di Kalimantan umumnya juga melakukan kegiatan pengelolaan hutan dalam portfolio kegiatan perekonomian mereka. Namun jenis pemanfaatan lahan seperti ini terkait erat dengan rotasi dalam sistem peladangan berpindah karena kedua kegiatan ini (pengelolaan hutan dan berladang) saling bersaing dalam hal lahan dan tenaga yang diperlukan. Pengelolaan hutan sekunder yang sedang diberakan mungkin juga dilakukan dengan melakukan konversi untuk penanaman tanaman perdagangan, khususnya jika ada potensi ancaman bahwa lahan bera ini akan beralih menjadi lahan alang-alang (Imperata). Konversi lahan yang sedang diberakan menjadi kebun karet yang dikelola secara intensif mungkin akan meningkatkan luas lahan yang ditumbuhi hutan. Praktik- praktik pengelolaan hutan secara khusus, seperti perlindungan dan pemeliharaan pohon-pohon yang digunakan sebagai tempat bersarang lebah, dapat dimanfaatkan dalam upaya penghutanan kembali. Bentuk-bentuk pengelolaan hutan seperti ini mempertahankan struktur hutan yang kompleks dan keragaman jenis yang cukup tinggi sehingga dapat memberikan sumbangan bagi usaha konservasi. $5HYLVLRQRIWKH&RQVHUYDWLRQWKURXJK&RPPHULDOLVDWLRQ3URSRVLWLRQ &+$37(5 $5(9,6,212)7+(&216(59$7,217+528*+ &200(5&,$/,6$7,21352326,7,21 ,1752'8&7,21 ,Q WKH HQYLURQPHQWGHYHORSPHQW UHODWHG GHEDWHV WKH HRQRPL DQG XOWXUDO LPSRUWDQHRIIRUHVWVIRUORDOIRUHVWGZHOOHUVDQGWKHUHODWHGVWHZDUGVKLSWKDWWKHVH GZHOOHUV H[WHQG WR WKHVH IRUHVWV KDYH UHHLYHG ZLGH LQWHUHVW 7ZR JHQHUDO DVVXPSWLRQVDUHWKHEDVLVIRUWKLVLQWHUHVW x 2QWKHRQHKDQGWKHUHLVDZLGHO\KHOGUHRJQLWLRQRIWKHLPSRUWDQHRIQDWXUDO UHVRXUHV DPRQJ PDQ\ UXUDO GZHOOHUV ZRUOGZLGH 7KHUH LV PXK ZRUU\ DQG PD\EH OHVV HYLGHQH WKDW WKH ZLGHVSUHDG DGYDQH RI ORJJLQJ DQG DJULXOWXUDO ³IURQWLHUV´DQGWKHHIIHWWKH\KDYHRQWKHRQGLWLRQVRIIRUHVWVQHJDWLYHO\DIIHW

  • Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: Effects of Altitude, the 1815 Cataclysmic Volcanic Eruption and Trade
    FORKTAIL 18 (2002): 49–61 Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: effects of altitude, the 1815 cataclysmic volcanic eruption and trade COLIN R. TRAINOR In June-July 2000, a 10-day avifaunal survey on Gunung Tambora (2,850 m, site of the greatest volcanic eruption in recorded history), revealed an extraordinary mountain with a rather ordinary Sumbawan avifauna: low in total species number, with all species except two oriental montane specialists (Sunda Bush Warbler Cettia vulcania and Lesser Shortwing Brachypteryx leucophrys) occurring widely elsewhere on Sumbawa. Only 11 of 19 restricted-range bird species known for Sumbawa were recorded, with several exceptional absences speculated to result from the eruption. These included: Flores Green Pigeon Treron floris, Russet-capped Tesia Tesia everetti, Bare-throated Whistler Pachycephala nudigula, Flame-breasted Sunbird Nectarinia solaris, Yellow-browed White- eye Lophozosterops superciliaris and Scaly-crowned Honeyeater Lichmera lombokia. All 11 resticted- range species occurred at 1,200-1,600 m, and ten were found above 1,600 m, highlighting the conservation significance of hill and montane habitat. Populations of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo Cacatua sulphurea, Hill Myna Gracula religiosa, Chestnut-backed Thrush Zoothera dohertyi and Chestnut-capped Thrush Zoothera interpres have been greatly reduced by bird trade and hunting in the Tambora Important Bird Area, as has occurred through much of Nusa Tenggara. ‘in its fury, the eruption spared, of the inhabitants, not a although in other places some vegetation had re- single person, of the fauna, not a worm, of the flora, not a established (Vetter 1820 quoted in de Jong Boers 1995). blade of grass’ Francis (1831) in de Jong Boers (1995), Nine years after the eruption the former kingdoms of referring to the 1815 Tambora eruption.

  • Moral Is Political Notions of Ideal Citizenship in Lie Kim Hok’S Hikajat Khonghoetjoe
    WacanaEvi Sutrisno Vol. 18 No., Moral 1 (2017): is political 183-215 183 Moral is political Notions of ideal citizenship in Lie Kim Hok’s Hikajat Khonghoetjoe EVI SUTRISNO ABSTRACT This paper argues that the Hikajat Khonghoetjoe (The life story of Confucius), written by Lie Kim Hok in 1897, is a medium to propose modern ideas of flexible subjectivity, cosmopolitanism, active citizenship and the concepts of good governance to the Chinese Peranakans who experienced political and racial discrimination under Dutch colonization. Using the figure of Confucius, Lie aimed to cultivate virtuous subjects who apply their faith and morality in political sphere. He intended to raise political awareness and rights among the Chinese as colonial subjects and to valorize their bargaining power with the Dutch colonial government. By introducing Confucianism, Lie proposed that the Chinese reconnect themselves with China as an alternative patronage which could subvert White supremacy. Instead of using sources in Chinese, Lie translated the biography of Confucius from the European texts. In crafting his story, Lie applied conglomerate authorship, a technique commonly practised by Malay authors. It allowed him to select, combine and appropriate the source texts. To justify that Confucius' virtue and his teaching were superb and are applicable to contemporary life, Lie borrowed and emphasized European writers’ high appraisal of Confucianism, instead of using his own arguments and opinions. I call this writing technique “indirect agency”. KEYWORDS Confucianism; the biography of Confucius; Chinese-Indonesians; Lie Kim Hok; active citizenship; cosmopolitanism. Evi Sutrisno is a PhD student in Anthropology, the University of Washington, Seattle. Her research investigates the foundation and development of the Confucian religion (agama Khonghucu) in Indonesia from the 1890s to 2010.

  • 1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.

Marriages that occurred in Sakai tribe society at large is usually only done by a virgin girl and a widower with a widow. Rare marriage between a man married to another woman aka polygamy. The reason is based on practical considerations, namely to avoid costly finance life because life bear more than one wife. Moreover, Bathin as a (Chieftain) used a dog or cat as a tool to legitimize marriage ( Parsudi Suparlan , 1993). The objectives to be achieved in this study are : To find out what the marriage stages procession in the Sakai community Settlements Reed Kasap, Kopelapip, District Mandau. To find out what are the factors that cause changes in the mating stages in the Sakai tribe settlements Reed Kasap, Kopelapip, District Saber, Duri. To find out how the public perception of Sakai in Settlements Reed Kasap, Kopelapip, District Saber, Thorns to a change in the system of their marriage. Subjects in this study is one key informants Bagindo Puyan Rajo, which incidentally is the Head of the Sakai tribe at Reed Residential Kasap, and four informants that researchers choose based on certain criteria (purposive sampling).

A group of matrilineal, animist, hunter-gather and occasional swidden cultivating forest dwellers. They call themselves, Orang Rimba, which translates to ‘People of the Jungle’, indicating their dependency and their connectedness with the forest. Over the past decades the Sumatran rainforest have diminished drastically. The homes of thousands of forest dwellers have been devastated and replaced by monoculture oil palm plantations that push Orang Rimba away from their customary land. Development projects, national and international governments, the Non-Governmental Organisation KKI Warsi through initiatives such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) seek to conserve forests and ‘develop peoples’. In the middle of all this Orang Rimba are struggling to keep their eminence as a group who define themselves in contrast to ‘others’, people of the ‘outside’. The core question this thesis asks is how physical changes in the environment have affected Orang Rimba of Bukit Duabelas and their perceptions of the world. It answers the question by going through Orang Rimba ‘now and then’, drawing mainly on the works of Steven Sager (2008) and Øyvind Sandbukt (1984, 1988, 2000 and in conversation) as well as other comparable literature to compare.

  • Aslian: Mon-Khmer of the Malay Peninsula
    1 Aslian: Mon-Khmer of the Malay Peninsula. James A. Matisoff University of California, Berkeley Depending from the Southeast Asian mainland like “a long-necked bottle or an Indian club,”1 the Malay Peninsula lies in tropical splendor, separated from the island of Sumatra by the peaceful tidal waters of the Strait of Malacca. In the geological past, before the sinking of the Sunda Shelf, the west (‘Selangor’) coast of Malaya and the east coast of Sumatra were in fact connected by land—and at an even earlier period the two coastlines must have fit neatly together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle (see Map 1). * This monograph was originally written in 1982-83, almost twenty years ago now, with the intention of incorporating it into the Mon-Khmer chapter of my long-suffering book, Languages of Mainland Southeast Asia. This book, to be published eventually in the Language Surveys series (familiarly know as the “green books”) by Cambridge University Press, is still far from completion, but will hopefully appear sometime during the 21st century. Meanwhile it has become clear that this study of the Aslian branch of Mon-Khmer is far too long and detailed to serve merely as part of a single chapter of a general book on Southeast Asian languages. However, in view of the fact that no other overall treatment of the Aslian languages has appeared in the past 20 years, perhaps the time has come to publish it separately. Since I am certainly no specialist in Mon-Khmer, I have obviously had to rely on the true masters of the field, especially the works of the two preeminent Aslianists, Gérard Diffloth and Geoffrey Benjamin, both of whom have been kind enough to approve of my attempts to summarize their research.
