Policy of Protected Areas and Local Use of Forest Resources in Indonesia: A Case Study of a National Park in West Java

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Institute for Global Environmental Strategies ((IGES,volume 3))

Abstract

Tropical countries have experienced the disappearance of forests on a global scale, and the world is rapidly losing valuable tropical forest ecosystems. Protecting biodiversity in tropical areas is one of the most important themes recently under discussion internationally. In response, there has been a rapid increase in the number of protected areas (PAs) established, in order to conserve biodiversity in tropical forests by legally protecting expansive, biologically rich areas. Currently, there are 12,754 PAs of sizes more than 1,000 hectares each throughout the world, including terrestrial and marine areas, covering over 1.3 billion hectares, or 8.81 percent of the Earth’s land area (IUCN 1998). If PAs of less than 1,000 hectares each are included, the number of PAs reaches close to 30,350.
