Abstract

Introduction Since the early 1980’s, efforts have been made to increase community involvement in forest management and achieve recognition of existing community forestry activities in Indonesia. Recent changes in the political climate (reformasi) and implementation of regional autonomy would seem to increase opportunities for development of community forestry. To that end, the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has been working with 27 communities in the Upper Malinau basin in East Kalimantan since 1999 to improve local peoples’ access and control over forest benefits. We describe here the opportunities and constraints that exist in community forestry in Malinau.
