Abstract

Traditional and modern utilization of rainforest margins by smallholders in Sumatra (Indonesia). For generations the margins of rainforests in Sumatra served as an important resource for the local farmers. However, during the last century the utilization of these areas changed fundamentally. With the spread of commercialization of agriculture shifting cultivation was more and more replaced by the cultivation of cash crops, particularly rubber and coffee. In addition to these significant economic and social changes, the process has also had remarkable ecological impacts. All in all the now practiced modern forms of land use by smallholders in the forest margins of Sumatra did not only improve the living standard of the local people but also had quite positive impacts on the natural environment.
