This study takes a landscape approach, focusing both on Protected Forest and adjacent village areas in northern Sulawesi. The Paguyaman Forest landscape includes the Nantu Wildlife Sanctuary 52,215 hectares: this comprises the original Nantu Wildlife Sanctuary of 31,215 hectares, to which has recently been added the Boliyohuto Protection Forest 21,000 hectares, as well as the East Nantu Production Forest 10,000 hectares. Several thousand hectares of remote village lands surround the Nantu Forest core. The wider northern Sulawesi landscape includes the wild meat markets of Minahasa, North Sulawesi, demand from which drives hunting of endangered species from throughout the northern arm.

Abstrak Huge areas of tropical rainforests have been transformed by human activities to diferent land use systems in Indonesia. This has enormous consequences for 72 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2013 ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. So far little is known on the development and dynamic of rainforest and rainforest transformations during the p3St. For a comprehensive understanding of current and expected landscape developments and dynamics and for sustainable land use management in central Sumatra and central Sulawesi, an integrated study including past rainforest transformations, biodiversity, climate, ire, human impact and land use dynamics is needed. We will study modern pollen rain and environmental archives for natural rainforest and diferent transformation systems of the EFForTS. Multi-proxy temporal high resolution pollen, charcoal and sediment analysis as well as radiocarbon dating will be applied to reconstruct rainforest transformation in space and time. Further, we will research the prehistoric and historic development and dynamics of the settlement, land use changes, and its consequence on rainforest transformation in central Sumatra and central Sulawesi. For the year 2013 at least ive sediment cores from ive diferent locations will be collected using Russian and Livingstone corers. The coring will be done on peatswamps soils and small lakes. In particular the following locations have been identiied in collaboration with our counterparts for their value as natural archives and their research strategic positions: Jambi province - central Sumatra - Kerinci Seblat National Park exact location yet to be identiied - swamp near Muara Jambi temple exact location yet to be identiied - Kawasan hutan lindung gambut 1.236880°S, 103.592249°E Additionally surface soil samples will be collected in all the core plots of the EFForTS.
