One hundred and sixty years ago a young Englishman founded a private raj on the coast of Borneo. The world he created eventually took in a territory the size of England, its expansion campaigns paid for in human heads. Here, polite Victorian conventions coexisted tenuously with one of the most violent cultures on earth, often with startling results: pockets of tenderness and extreme brutality appearing where least expected. Into this world flowed a small tribe of adventurers, fugitives, criminals, and saints-- the madly talented and simply mad. And the women followed: wives and would-be wives, spinster nursemaids and heartless schemers, the rigidly virtuous and the virtually desperate. And always, the children, innocents too often the victims of an elemental nature both lush and deadly. Kalimantaan is the story of this world, these people. But the deeper story resides in the realm of the heart. It is about love in absurd conditions, the tenacity of it as well as our ability to miss it repeatedly and with perverse genius.

The Ecology of Kalimantan is a comprehensive ecological survey of one of Indonesia's largest and most diverse islands. This book presents a complete summary of our current scientific knowledge about Borneo including the rainforest and riverine habitats that are endangered by logging and industrial development, along with a discussion of land use patterns and current problems. Kalimantan is the Indonesian portion of the huge island of Borneo. Kalimantan has played a key role in Indonesia’s economic development and is a major earner of foreign revenue due to the island's rich natural resources: forests, oil, gas, coal, and other minerals. In this book the authors argue that Kalimantan can be developed, but within tight ecological constraints and with great care. This book remains a standard reference for scientists, anthropologists, writers, and anyone interested in the region.

Since the late 1960s the Indonesian state of East Kalimantan has witnessed a marked increase in the impact of human activities chiefly commercial logging and agricultural exploitation. Located on the island of Borneo, East Kalimantan also was subjected to prolonged droughts and extensive wildfires in 1982-83 and 1997-98 that were linked to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The changes in the rainforest ecosystem in East Kalimantan during this 15-year cycle of severe ENSO events are the subject of this book. With an eye toward development of rehabilitation techniques for sustainable forest management, the authors examine possible interactive effects of drought, fire, and human impacts on the flora and fauna of the area.

The utilization and use of natural resources has significantly led to a decrease in the quality and quantity of the environment. This makes the utilization of natural resources must be performed wisely on the basis of the principles of sustainability (carrying capacity) in order that the natural resources owned by the regions can be utilized sustainably for current and future generations. It is hoped that understanding the carrying capacity of the environment becomes the first step for environmental management to realize the quality and quantity of a good environment. Ecosystem Services approach can be used to know the environmental support capacity in a region, including watersheds. Watersheds are often used as a basis for approaches when people want to solve various environmental damage issues, such as the problem of forest damage, erosion, landslides, floods, sedimentation, river water pollution and river shallowing. In Indonesia, there are hundreds of watersheds including Kayan and Sembakung watershed in North Kalimantan that serve as water supply areas and food supply areas. Therefore, this book aims to know the environmental support capacity of Kayan and Sembakung watershed in North Kalimantan Province in the provision of food and the provision of clean water. This book contains a description of the study of environmental support capacity of Kayan and Sembakung watershed in the provision of food and clean water; description of watershed concept, concept of environmental carrying capacity, concept of ecosystem services and concept of environmental carrying capacity based on ecosystem services; description of methods of determining the environmental support capacity of Kayan and Sembakung watershed based on ecosystem services, including the approach of study, scope of territory, materials and tools, data of studies and data analysis; description of the results of the study includes the environmental carrying capacity of Kayan and Sembakung watershed in the provision of food and clean water as well as the tendency of the supporting capacity of the clean water supply of Kayan and Sembakung watershed that becomes the basis for food supply; description of environmental issues, pressures, conditions/circumstances and the responses to Kayan and Sembakung watershed; and so forth. Therefore, this book is presented as one of the scientific reference sources that can be used as reference material for students and lecturers who study the sustainability of ecosystem-based environments.

The study is based on interviews with government officials, forestry department staff, university researchers, NGO workers and the employees of timber workers in the provincial capital, Palangkaraya, and the district capital, Kuala Kapuas. Research was also carried out in Gunung Mas in the headwaters of the Kahayan River and further interviews were conducted with businessmen, sub-district government officials and lower level forestry staff, community leaders and local villagers. This document provides: (1) Essential background regarding the geography, economy and history of forestry in Kapuas district. (2) A discussion focuses on decentralisation and forest management, analysing the financial situation of the district administration, the efforts of the district government to create district laws to regulate the forestry sector in the district, and the initial impacts of decentralisation on spatial planning and environmental management. (3) Analyses the situation of timber concessionaires in Gunung Mas just before the decentralisation laws took effect, focusing on the changing relationships among timber companies, the local administration and local communities. The case study examines the endemic conflicts occurring between local communities and logging concessionaires in the area.
