  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Continuity under Change in Dayak Societies

Abstract

This article explores how market-based environmental intervention – along with associated processes of nature monetization – bear effect on a local population in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The principal focus lies on how cultural values and nature / people relations are produced through climate change mitigation which compensates reforestation activities with money, creates carbon markets in the villages, and promotes economic entrepreneurship.
