BACKGROUND More than 126 million hectares, two-thirds of Indonesia’s territory, or which amounts to four times the land area of Japan, is listed on official Indonesian maps as forests. These forests come in many ecological forms due to the diversity of Indonesia, and also correspond with varying political-economic and social histories. Indonesian forests have been theorized from the perspective of the Dutch colonizer, the state, through international regimes, and also as a distinctly political forest. This presentation goes to the very definition of what is a forest, and reorients that definition from the perspective of people that are closest to those forests.
