1. Strategies to manage
deforestation

2. 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

3. 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.

5. 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.

6. Four Main Policies of MOF
• Afforestation and reforestation
• Controlled logging
• Conservation
• Controlling forest fires

7. 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.

8. Controlled logging
- controlled logging involves careful management of
forests that are being logged. (law enforcement & education)
e.g. Selective cutting VS clear cutting

9. Conservation
• - refers to the careful use of resources to protect
forests from destruction.
- e.g. setting aside as nature reserves.

10. 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’

11. 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.
