Lesson Objectives
List the strategies implemented to manage the rainforests in Kalimantan
Evaluate effectiveness of one of the measures taken to manage the rainforests in Kalimantan
What is Deforestation?
The permanent clearing and destruction of forests is known as deforestation.
This reduction in the area covered by forests is due to human activities.
Strategies to manage deforestation

Managing the Rainforests in Kalimantan• The Ministry of Forestry(MOF)
- MOF issues licences to timber companies
and monitor their activities.
• Community involvement
- MOF involves local people such as local
governments, native people and villagers.
• Sustainable management
- refers to the careful use of resources, such as forests to
allow people to continue using the
resources in future.
Four Main Policies of MOF
• Afforestation and reforestation
• Controlled logging
• Conservation
• Controlling forest fires
Afforestation and reforestation
• Afforestation
- planting trees on areas that were not covered with forests.
• Reforestation
- planting trees in formerly forested areas that have been cleared by logging.
Controlled logging- controlled logging involves careful management of
forests that are being logged. (law enforcement & education)
e.g. Selective cutting VS clear cutting
Conservation
• - refers to the careful use of resources to protect
forests from destruction.
- e.g. setting aside as nature reserves.
Controlling forest fires• Forest fires
1. Law enforcement (make clearing forest by fire illegal)
2. Campaigns to discourage
3. Monitor forest fires through ‘Fires Protection System’ and ‘National Fire Management Plan’
Our Role in Forest Conservation
• Simple actions such as making use of both
sides of a piece of paper can help to reduce
wastage of forest resources.
• To help reduce deforestation
in other countries, we can buy
furniture made of timber
from sustainably managed
forests.
Four Main Policies of MOF
• Afforestation and reforestation
• Controlled logging
• Conservation
• Controlling forest fires
