Summary
In West Kalimantan, deforestation by uncontrolled logging, fire and conversion of forest land to other uses is progressing in an alarming rate, while the reforestation programme has proven unsuccessful due to limited involvement of local communities, inappropriate planting methods and lack of resources.

The pre-project aims at halting forest degradation in West Kalimantan. Its specific objectives are:
a) to collect and analyze the necessary information needed to evaluate the underlying causes of forest degradation in West Kalimantan; and b) to define an overall strategy based on the ITTO Guidelines for the restoration, management and rehabilitation of degraded and secondary tropical forests for a pilot community-based participatory for the ecological rehabilitation and socio-economic management of degraded forests in West Kalimantan.

The main outputs of the pre-project are:

? Historical information on socio-economic and environment conditions related to forest degradation compiled and analyzed;
? Underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation understood and measures to remove the causes identified;
? Community-based strategy for the ecological rehabilitation and socio-economic management of degraded forests formulated based on the ITTO Guidelines; and
? A full project proposal developed in accordance with the ITTO Manual for Project Formulation for implementation of the strategy.
