The Development of Local Institutions for Community-Based Forest

"The Development of Local Institutions for Community-Based Forest" is a specialized book that addresses the challenges and solutions in the field of forestry in Indonesia. It highlights the shortcomings of Indonesian government policies regarding the management of forest resources, particularly the lack of financial and human resources. The book argues that many existing policies are theoretical and do not take local conditions into account. Therefore, the improvement of local institutions is emphasized as key to decentralization and promoting participation in the management of natural resources. By developing these institutions, sustainable development of forests and communities is sought. The book is aimed at practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and students engaged in forestry, providing valuable insights into the local contextualization of forest management strategies.
