This issue weighs conservation against use in Indonesia's islands and forests. Field studies assess the ecological and sustainability status of mangroves on the small islands of Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang in East Lombok, compare reptile and amphibian communities across disturbance levels in a South Papua production forest, and confirm and map habitat for the Javan hawk-eagle on Bali. Applied papers examine local community roles in Bali's ecotourism management and estimate sustainable harvest quotas and financial feasibility for captive Timor deer breeding. An opinion paper argues for pairing early warning and emergency response with ecological recovery to build resilience to floods.
