'An absorbing set of accounts of locally based efforts to diagnose and come to grips with very difficult issues' - Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies

'This book provides an excellent overview of more than a decade of transformation in a forest landscape where the interests of local people, extractive industries and globally important biodiversity are in conflict. The studies assembled here teach us that plans and strategies are fine but, in the real world of the forest frontier, conservation must be based upon negotiation, social learning and an ability to muddle through.' - Jeffrey Sayer, senior scientific adviser, Forest Conservation Programme IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)
