2013 Conference Paper:
"Deforestation in Bukit Duabelas Area"
Presenter(s): *Askarinta Adi, Indonesian Conservation Community—WARSI, Indonesia
This paper examines the threat and rates of deforestation in Bukit Duabelas National Park (TNBD), located in Jambi province. This lowland forest area is still inhabited by more than one thousand Orang Rimba, an indigenous people, who rely on the natural forest as a source of livelihood and who continue to experience social, cultural, and economic marginalization. Deforestation in the TNBD area began in the 1980s with transmigration and has continued because of oil palm plantations, illegal logging, and the need for agricultural land by local and recent communities. Currently, economic interests are the biggest deforestation threat to this area
