Background and rationale

The Southeast Asian rainforests are the oldest, consistent rainforests on Earth. The for-

ests of Southeast Asia are largely located in tropical biomes. The dominant environ-

mental characteristic of the tropics is the consistently high temperature throughout the

year that shapes the tropical climate and ultimately the structure of biotic communities.

It has a biological richness and diversity unequaled by that of the Amazon or African

rainforests. Yet Southeast Asia is losing its rainforests faster than any equatorial region,

and has the fewest remaining primary rainforests.

Scientists estimate that Asia’s forest cover has shrunk by 70% over the past 8,000 years

ago, and that 95% of intact closed forest has been lost (Salim and Ullsten, 1999). The

majority of this deforestation has occurred in the past century resulting from logging,

land clearing and fire. Between 1900 and 1989, Southeast Asia’s forest area declined

from 250 million hectares to 60 million hectares and continues to erode at well over

one million hectares per year (Scott, 1989). In many Southeast Asian nations, forestry

policies are being changed in hopes of stemming the further loss of remaining tree

cover. In order to meet these challenges, forestry research, technological support

and extension at the grassroots level are of pivotal importance.

Sometimes, forestry research needs are often not fulfilled because of the many

constraints faced by national forest research organizations, including little or no political

support for forestry research within the country, poor coordination of research efforts

among countries and little interaction with other related research organizations among

countries. For that reasons, the Southeast Asian countries should establish cooperation

among ASEAN countries and also with other forestry international research

institutions.

Indonesia as the ASEAN leader and the Korea Forest Service (KFS), Republic of Korea

(ROK) initiate a “Technical Workshop on Identification of R&D Capacity and Future

Priorities in Forestry in ASEAN”. The workshop will co-organized by Forestry Research

and Development Agency (FORDA), Ministry of Forestry, Republic of Indonesia, Korea

Forest Service (KFS) and ASEAN Secretariat.

Bogor is a city on the island of Java in the West Java province of Indonesia.

The city is located about 60 kilometers south of the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

It is an important economic, scientific, cultural and tourist center, as well as a

mountain resort.

In the Middle Ages, the city was the capital of Sunda King-

dom (Indonesian: Kerajaan Sunda) and was called Pakuan Pajajaran. During

the Dutch colonization of Indonesia, it was namedBuitenzorg and served as the

summer residence of the Governor-General of Dutch East Indies. The city

was the administrative center of the Netherlands East Indies during the

British control in the early 19th century.

With several hundred thousand people living on an area of about 20 km², the

central part of Bogor is one of the world's most densely populated areas. The

city has a presidential palace and a botanical garden (Indonesian: Kebun Raya

Bogor) – one of the oldest and largest in the world. It bears the nickname "the

Rain City" (Kota Hujan), because of frequent rain showers. It nearly always

rains even during the dry season.

Interesting places in Bogor area

• Presidential Palace

• Fashion outlets (bag, cloth, etc)

• Safari park

• Tea plantations (Puncak)

Some Indonesian words:

Selamat pagi (good morning) kiri (left)
