The Ecology of Java and Bali

This book draws on over 3000 Indonesian, Dutch and English sources to present a complete summary of our current scientific knowledge about the riverene, rainforest, mountain, and coastal ecosystems of Java and Bali. Using maps, colour photographs, and line-drawings, it examines these ecosystems and the interrelationships between some of their component species. It also focuses on the people of the islands and their use of natural resources, as a major part of these ecosystems. Discussion of development, conservation, and ecologically sustainable resource management is also incorporated.
