CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

West Kalimantan Ecological Vegetation Map 1:50 000

The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) completed extensive research on integrated landscape management and produced large-scale ecological vegetation maps for the whole province of West Kalimantan (GOLS-USAID funded project). These 1:50,000 scale ecological vegetation maps cover more than 60 classes of natural and man-made vegetation including various forest types, but also details on logged-over areas, peat swamps, heath forest, oil palm estate, various mixed agroforestry systems, mosaics of fallows and smallholder agriculture. Landscapes are pre-stratified according to climate, geomorphology, types of soil, catchment areas and elevation classes, and interpretation is a combination of supervised classification and manual digitization on-screen using LANDSAT satellite data (2015). The work is supplemented by extensive ground checking with detailed ecological surveys. The various types are denoted using colour coding and symbols based on the cartographic principles of ecological mapping, one colour representing one vegetation type and its succession. For example, a solid green colour is assigned to lowland forest and its first degradation level, logging, is represented with green mixed with horizontal white stripes, indicating the depletion of the original forest type. These large-scale vegetation maps are important sources of information for land allocation and ecosystem-based management, both for the private and public sectors and help as well recognize potential areas or specific forest types for conservation.
