Land tenure rights, village institutions, and rainforest conversion in Central Sulawesi (Indonesia)

“…In the past the village has experienced a high influx of migrants, mostly Bugis from South Sulawesi. This influx has perturbed the former socio-economic stratification of the village (Barkmann et al, 2010). Lempelero represents an intermediate type.…”

“…Such contracts are often similar to NES schemes, because communities that provide part of their land for plantation establishment may request loans and other support from companies for own oil palm cultivation. However, most autochthonous communities do not hold formally recognized titles for their land (Barkmann et al, 2010). Hence, conflicts over land rights and contractual details are commonplace.…”

We investigate land-use dynamics in Jambi, Sumatra, one of the hotspots of Indonesia's recent oil palm boom. Data from a structured village survey are used to analyze the role of socioecono mic and policy factors. Oil palm is partly grown on large plantations, but smallholders are also involved significantly. We find that, in spite of significant oil palm expansion, rubber remains the dominant crop. Most of the oil palm growth takes place on previous fallow and rubber land. Oil palm has not been a major driver of deforestation. Much of the forest in Jambi was cleared more than 20 years ago, and rubber was an established cash crop long before the oil palm boom started. However, oil palm growth occurs in locations with ongoing logging activities, so indirect effects on deforestation are likely. The government's transmigration program of the 1980s and 1990s was instrumental for the start and spread of oil palm in Jambi. Some autochthonous villages have adopted oil palm, but adoption started later compared to migrants from Java, and it happens at a slower pace. While the transmigration program benefited many of the participating families, it has contributed to the risk of unequal socioeconomic developments in Jambi. Terms of use: Documents in

“…Specifically, they received titled land from the state and started growing plantation crops under a big plantation company supervision (Kubitza et al, 2018). In contrast, most autochthonous people only have customary indigenous tenure (adat) without formally recognized titles (Barkmann et al, 2010;Gatto et al, 2015). As a result, they must follow a costly and lengthy procedure to obtain formal land titles.…”

The unprecedented growth of human-dominated landscapes has led to population decline and the extinction of many animal species. A major paradigm shift that perceived wildlife as problem animals into threatened species that need protection triggered human-wildlife conflict studies. Although human-wildlife conflict incidences can be found globally, they have unique characteristics in each region of the world. However, little is known about the characteristics of human-wildlife conflicts in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. There is a need for a comprehensive insight into human-wildlife conflict studies in Indonesia to understand past advancements and propose future priorities. This study examined the literature that provides the overall view of the human-wildlife conflict patterns in the country. The results showed that there was a comparatively small number of studies because this field was a relatively new subject in Indonesia. Furthermore, there were big gaps regarding animal species and the geographic distribution of study sites. A total of 35 species belonging to eight taxonomic groups experienced conflicts with humans. However, the studies heavily focused on three groups of animals and certain areas of the country. The predominant conflict sites were secondary forest, agroforestry, and farmlands. The conflicts in these areas unveiled the significance of local beliefs and social norms for formulating mitigation strategies.
