17. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) was established in 1993 as part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in response to global concerns about the social, environmental, and economic consequences of forest loss and degradation. CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefits. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries in collaboration with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in influencing global and national forestry policies.

A map from the present work is included on one of the four explanatory posters based on this and related research activities that were developed (with community guidance to ensure accuracy and clarity) then mass produced and distributed in the region. Formal assessment reveals these posters have had a significant impact on the views and knowledge of various local stakeholders. Details are provided in Padmanaba, M. and Sheil, D. 2007.

27. Many thanks to Agus Mohammad Salim who prepared Figures 1 and 3 for us. We thank all the community participants from Long Loreh, Lio Mutai, and Metut, without whom the study would not have been possible. We are also grateful to the many people who provided valuable support, both in CIFOR headquarters in Bogor and in the field, especially Ramses Iwan, Andy Darmawan, Miriam van Heist, and Lini Wollenberg. The research was funded by grants to CIFOR from the European Commission and the World Bank.
