Daftar Isi:
- <p>The continuous depletion of Indonesian Tropical Rain Forests due to deforestation, forest fire, overexploitation<br /> and illegal cutting represents potential loss of species , and therefore presents serious biological,<br /> ecological and economic consequences. The global interest in Tropical Rain Forests is in part stimulated<br /> by the recognition that it is a treasure house of potentially useful species, whether as biologically<br /> active compounds, as a gene pool of domesticated species, as a source of commercial timber or other<br /> minor products. As well as species extinction, there is a continuing Joss of unique populations and genetic<br /> diversity, as well as unique habitats and ecosystems. .<br /> Another problem that facing tropical rain forests was introduced by Dr.Freezaiiah in his general lecture<br /> at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta on 10 August 1998. He mentioned that tropical timbers from<br /> natural forests are increasingly facing competition with timbers from temperate forests against which<br /> tropical timber from sustainably managed natural forests is at a distinct disadvantage. In this regard he<br /> used basic data as follow:<br /> I. The production of commercial timber from natural tropical forests is only about 0.5 - 3.0m3/halyr.<br /> compared to 4.0 - 10 m3/halyr. from temperate forests<br /> 2. Extraction and sustainable management costs of natural tropical forests range between US $ 50 -<br /> 200/m3 compared to only US $ 15 -301m3for temperate forests.<br /> Based on the above mentioned the development of appropriate methods and strategies to overcome<br /> those problems are striking a balance between wise use of resources and conservation. A clear vision and<br /> long-term commitment at national level is needed to develop an integratedapproach to a balance between<br /> resource use and conservation. In this regard, intensive silviculture which integrates three main thrusts :<br /> genetic improvement, environmental manipulation to accelerated optimal growth and forest protection<br /> plays an important role. Successful plantation forestry through intensive silviculture combine with<br /> conservation programs and activities will continue to depend on effective research, development and<br /> management, and on innovation and technological advances. It is in doing so that we shall sustain<br /> plantation forestry combine with huge conservation areas will become new approach in this century,and<br /> maximize its benefits to meet the needs of the present and future generation.</p>
