ISBN 979-3361-56-5The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) was established in 1993 as part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in response to global concerns about the social, environmental and economic consequences of forest loss and degradation. CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefi ts. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in collaboration with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in infl uencing global and national forestry policies.

Occupancy winners in tropical protected forests: a pantropical analysis

“…For example, we found the strongest positive effect of fragmentation on mammal occupancy in the Afrotropics, where we know that most otherwise arboreal species readily cross open ground (for example virtually all the diurnal primates and civets [65]). By contrast, in the Indo-Malayan region, where fragmentation effects were negative (although non-significant), several species of civet, including the smalltoothed palm civet (Arctogalidia trivirgata) and the binturong (Arctictis binturong), and various primates including leaf monkeys and gibbons are unwilling to move over open ground [66]. Including covariates that represent other components of habitat fragmentation (e.g.…”

Road development and Indigenous hunting in Tanah Papua: Connecting the facts for future wildlife conservation agendas

“…In Kalimantan, the development of the Malinau district at the edge of the Kayan Mentarang National Park has destroyed large areas of wildlife habitat. Roads also threaten nomadic and large vertebrates, such as the Malayan sun bear, bearded pig and the Bornean orang-utan (Meijaard et al, 2005). Improvements to highway connectivity between North Sulawesi and other provinces in Sulawesi, such as Gorontalo and Central Sulawesi, have led to the increased importation of wild meat from other parts of Sulawesi to supply wildlife market demands in Manado and Minahasa (Lee, 2000), consequently elevating hunting pressure on wildlife populations (Clayton & Milner-Gulland, 2000).…”

Population Status of Tapanuli Orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) within the Renewable Energy Development and its Management Implications

“…The project construction was changed to about 372 ha of the area suitable for orangutans for permanent constructions (87 ha) and temporary construction purposes (285 ha). As the population's rebound was showing within the natural forest concessions (Meijaard et al, 2005;Prasetyo, 2011), our study proposes several steps to mitigate the project impact on the orangutans (and other wildlife) populations, there are: 4.1.1. Orangutans' corridor…”
