Abstract

Illegal logging has pushed Indonesia’s forest sector into a state of chronic ecological crisis. These logging activities increasingly flourished in “forestry concession” areas (HPH) during the Soeharto regime (1968–1998), but remained within tolerable levels as a part of “politically organized corruption” (Mulholland 2006). With the stepping down of Soeharto on the 21st of May, 1998 and consequent political fragmentation, disorganized corruption emerged in forestry, among other sectors, and further exacerbated the intensity and scope of illegal logging in protected forests, but also conservation areas (Ross ML, Timber booms and institutional breakdown in Southeast Asia. Cambridge University Press, New York, 2001).
