At the same time, unlike many of the other recent studies of the political ecology of forests in Southeast Asia, this book still describes the ecology of the region, providing detailed cases of upland and insular Southeast Asia (including, for example, studies on both dipterocarp and peat swamp forests). In 1977, other researchers found a dipterocarp, which they named Pakaraimaea dipterocarpacea, in Guyana. In fact, the field surveys conducted in areas surrounding the Bakun Dam and the Bakun interior, in Murum Basin and Long Lawen in 2002 and 2003 respectively, indicate that this region, which is densely covered with rich Dipterocarp forest, represents one of the most suitable locations for resettlement. |
