摘要：Recent ex-post evaluations of two ITTO projects in Indonesia, one in West Java and the other in Sumatra, have investigated the factors that hinder and help forest restoration and management. In one district in West Java, clear private landownership, a strong culture of integrating trees and agriculture, supportive government policies and other factors have resulted in well-managed private forests and substantial timber production. In Sumatra, on the other hand, a lack of clarity on land tenure, a lack of a culture of integrating trees and agriculture, and local suspicion of government are hindering the restoration of a degraded catchment. Both projects provide lessons on promoting private initiatives in forest rehabilitation that could be applied more widely in Indonesia.
