Research Abstract

Forest plantations, which have greater production potential per unit area than natural forests, are becoming increasingly important as a means of meeting the growing demand for tropical timber while protecting natural forests. This study examined the conditions for sustainable tropical forest plantations in Indonesia by comparing cases of forest plantations (community forest plantations, industrial forest plantations, and private forests) of different sizes, tenure types, and geographical conditions. All forest plantations have their advantages and disadvantages. The study suggested that a combination of these characteristics, depending on local characteristics, is important for developing sustainable tropical forest plantations in the country.
