| Abstract: |
1. As well as small- and large-scale
operators, a third category of ‘local, midlevel
entrepreneurs’ has economic and
environmental impact on Sumatra.
2. About half of the fire ‘hot spots’ in
Riau province occur on land with an
active permit for large-scale operations
(industrial timber, oil palm and logging);
the rest occur outside permitted areas for
land-use conversion.
3. Hot spots are concentrated on the
deepest peat soil, in areas that already
were deforested before 2010.
4. On mineral soils, hot spots are most
frequent in logged-over forests.
5. The hot spots are concentrated in three
districts. The pattern points to large
differences in governance within the
province. Sufficient real-time data is now
available for government agencies to act
but data confidentiality still limits public
discourse. |
