The Complex Forest systematically examines the theory, processes, and early outcomes of a research management approach called adaptive collaborative (ACM). An alternative to positivist approaches development conservation that assume predictability in forest management, ACM acknowledges complexity unpredictability inherent any community importance developing solutions together with peoples whose lives will be most affected by outcomes. Building on earlier work established flexible,...

Deforestation and forest degradation are proceeding rapidly in the lowland forests of Indonesian Borneo. Time series analysis satellite imagery provides an ideal means quantifying landscape change identifying pathways which lead to changes. This study investigates land cover changes by classifying Landsat MSS (Multispectral Scanner), TM (Thematic Mapper) ETM+ (Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus) images over three time periods (1983–90, 1990–98, 1998–2000), creating maps for each year trajectories...

Health issues of forest women in developing countries merit more serious attention. This paper reviews existing literature on the interface women, health and forests to highlight conservation opportunities challenges. Most are collectors users species. However, efforts, deforestation, poor services household responsibilities can intensify safety concerns for dependent women. Women likely bear strenuous burden carrying fuelwood (and other products) long distances inhaling smoke while cooking....
