Charles V. Barber, Suraya Afiff, and Agus Purnomo Despite recent passage of international agreements and national policies to conserve biodiversity, it remains to be seen how key nations will balance the linked but competing goals of natural resource conservation and economic development, especially at local, community, and regional levels where chances are best for real progress. Tiger by the Tail examines efforts to integrate biodiversity protection and economic growth in the world's fourth most populous country. Taking stock of Indonesia's awesome social, economic, and natural resource management potential and problems, the authors analyze promising initiatives to integrate conservation with local economic needs and activities. Drawing on case studies of three major protected areas, the authors assess the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, highlight major obstacles to long-term success, and propose specific policy changes. Although focused on Indonesia, many of the lessons and recommendations presented in this report apply equally well to other countries. 1995 / 150 pages |
