About this title

Synopsis

This volume looks at the complex rainforest management system developed by the Uma'Jalan, an indigenous Kenyah people of eastern Borneo, showing how they have traditionally managed resources and offering recommendations on how their system might be adapted to help in the conservation of tropical rain forests and the continued subsistence of traditional rain forest communities.
