Collaborative Learning (Co-Learn) Co-Learn is a computer software package that facilitates and enables users to navigate around a range of tools and processes. It is intended to be a meta-tool, implemented as a software interface and navigation aid for a suite of computer-based learning support tools. It seeks to support adaptive and collaborative management (ACM) of natural resources by helping people to enjoy learning processes in groups. |

During Indonesia’s reform period in 1998-2003, the policy environment was highly volatile and unclear. This series of policy briefs provides information and analysis about Indonesia’s forest-related policies to stimulate better understanding and debate around local forest management issues. The policy briefs were targeted at local government and forest communities and are in Indonesia.

The ACM Newsletter for the Malinau site in East Kalimantan is intended to facilitate communication between 27 communities and ACM researchers, as well as other groups. At the Malinau site ACM researchers are examining conflict and collaboration among communities and with other stakeholders concerning boundaries and land uses. In 1999-2000 action facilitated by CIFOR included participatory mapping and a cross-visit to Paser district to observe the impacts of oil palm plantations. The newsletter is issued according to need when issues occur or results are available. The Malinau project occurs under the umbrella of the Bulungan Research Forest.

We provide a profile of forest-related conflict in Indonesia 1997 to June 2003, based on a survey of national and provincial newspaper articles and six case studies in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java. The report shows that conflict increased most rapidly in 2000 during the transition to decentralization, and has generally stayed at higher levels than during the New Order period. Reports of conflicts were highest in East Kalimantan, followed by Sumatra and Central Java. The causes of conflict were primarily differences in perceptions about boundaries, rights to use of forest, compensation payments and distribution of benefits from forests.

This document describes the lessons learned from a participatory mapping exercise conducted in 2000 in Malinau East Kalimantan. It questions the need for communities to be directly involved as mappers.

The newsletter is intended to serve as a platform for field level forest extension and development officers to share their experiences in using the adaptive collaborative management (ACM) approach. This first issue focuses on sharing experiences of CIFOR’s3 ACM team in implementing the ACM approach (that was developed and is being promoted by CIFOR) in Mafungautsi state forest in Gokwe.

Which Way Forward? Indonesia contains some of Asia's most biodiverse and threatened forests. The challenges result from both long-term management problems and the political, social, and economic turmoil of the past few years. The contributors to Which Way Forward? explore recent events in Indonesia, while focusing on what can be done differently to counter the destruction of forests due to asset-stripping, corruption, and the absence of government authority. |

Just out: Report of the Local Unit Criteria and Indicators Development (LUCID) project of the United States Forest service. The LUCID project has sought to develop forest management unit level C&I that can be easily integrated into planning and monitoring. Involving six National Forest across the United States over three years, the project has produced some innovative new software and has generated insights into systems approaches. CIFOR was involved in early conceptualisation of the project, backstopping and review. LUCID is one of the external user of CIMAT. An electronic version is available for downloading at http://www.fs.fed.us/institute/lucid/ There are 4 files for download: |

Biological Diversity: Balancing Interests Through
Adaptive Collaborative Management addresses the problem of how
to balance local, national, and global interests in preserving the
earth's biological diversity with competing interests in the use
and exploitation of these natural resources. This innovative book
examines the potential of adaptive collaborative management (ACM)
in reconciling a protected area's competing demands for biodiversity
conservation, local livelihood support, and broader-based regional
development. It clarifies ACM's emerging characteristics and assesses
its suitability for a variety of protected area situations.
