Regional Development On Kalimantan Research And Training Needs

Abstract

The forests of East Kalimantan and eastern South Kalimantan have been rapidly opened for exploitation during the past several years. The Indonesian government has granted logging concessions for alanost 13 million hectares in these areals. Logging methods in use while not particularly destructive to soil and water resources, are designed to selectively remove the most valuable itrees rather than to maintain the value productivity of the forest. The government's policy, therefore, reflects an implicit decision to convert timber into other forms of capital needed for Indonesian economic development. Government revenues, logging road systems, processing plants, new communities and public service facilities are being developed at the cost of some reduction in forest capital values.
