PAPUA:
THE LAST FRONTIER FOREST

apual is one region in the eastend which gives the biggest conftiburion towards the
richness of the tropical rain forest resources in Indonesia. With a total Iorest area of
40,803,132 h4 its cont bution r€ached 32.8% rowards t}le totat area of Indonesian
forests. The ecosystem oI ihe forest in Papua consists of the divelsity of both flora and fauna
which combine the elements of bioregion areas; namely, South East Asia alld Australia.
Based on the Decr€e of the Minister of Forestry, number 891/KptsJI/199 dared 14 Ocrober

flora and fauna, which is unequalled. There are more than 70 kinds of tradin8 woods wiih

for wood business in Papua. Othei tadinS woods Iound in rhis area are, ajnong othe$,

The formations/types ofvegeration gown in a vaiet]. of habitat spread our from the coastal
area to ihe alpine zone/ so that Papua is b€stknown to have,,the 1argest aJtd mostcomplete

tropicalrainforestecosvstem", apartirom other tropicalforests in Amazon and Congo. Also,
Papuan forest holds more than 30,000 kinds oI wooden trees, 330 kinds of reptites and
amphibians, 650 kinds of birds, 164 kinds of mammalians, and 700 kinds o{ buiierflies (CI,
2000). T}le aspe.ts oI climatic and edaphic of papuan region ptay an important role in

deiermining these veSetation Iormation aJtd species diversity formed. From all oI the
resource potencw of this Ioresr, many kinds oI b€nefits can be obtained, particularlv from the
extact oI timber foresi products.
The histoq' of forest resource utilization in papua is as old as the age oI papuan human
civilization. The phase oI tife cornmencint from primiiive iife pattems - hunter garherer,

shiftint .ultiyation, peasant cornrnunity to the modem stage is also inAuenced bv the role
plaved b! forest resources. For the Papuan, forest is a ,,mother" who gives bkth.
rarses and
gives lives; ac.ordingly Lhey depend atmost enthely to this forcst. This means that the
existence of Ioresi resouces has become a pilar for rhe systerrls of economy, €cology, socio
culture, and even religion for the papuan tiJe peeetuity from one generation to another.
Ever since tie collapse of naturat forests in Sumatera,
Java, and Kalimantan regions due to the
excessive exbaction, rhe forests ofPapua have become a iarget of timber for businessmen

in

jn papua offer immense benefits for them;
as a result,
it oPens opportunities for investors to locate their money here. In 1975_1990 the number oI
timber companies operaied in papua rea.hed 20 companies.!,,irh 2l business units. Fivevears
