Description

This report focuses primarily on issues related to land and forest management in the outer islands, and land and water resource management in Java. The theme is that sound management of natural resources, including forests, soil and water, is a prerequisite to economic development; and economic development, in turn, is necessary for good environmental management. The climate for sound environmental management in Indonesia is favorable. There are, however, a number of emerging environmental issues which need to be addressed in the next five years, and this report is intended to help identify these issues and make recommendations for change.
