History of forest loss and degradation in Indonesia
Abstract
History and causes of forest loss in Indonesia was investigated. Deforestation, in tandem with large logging concessions, was initiated in ca. 1970. Before the end of Suharto era, the land lying idle after clear cutting had expanded. After the democratization, the idle land has been shrinking. There were different causes/drivers of deforestation in different periods.
