Erick Danzer asks the question:
"Can Microlights Save the Rainforest?"
Download full article here


Forest rangers from Gunung Palung National Park prepare for an air patrol in one of the Park's microlight aircraft. These aircraft are the centerpiece of a creative strategy to combat illegal logging that uses microlights to cruise over the forest, locate illegal logging operations and send in armed teams to apprehend loggers.
By 2003, when the microlights were first used, logging in the Park had damaged 50 percent of the Park's forests and forced closure of its Cabang Panti research station. Since adoption of this new strategy, illegal logging has gone from rampant to rare. Elsewhere in Borneo, illegal logging is still at crisis levels. The Center for International Forestry Research has recently reported that 70 percent of timber flowing from Indonesia is now illegal, while the WWF has estimated that most lowland forest in Borneo will be gone by 2010.
Gunung Palung is a jewel of biodiversity. It's 90,000 hectares contain a wider range of habitats than any other protected area in Borneo, including one of the largest remaining areas of undisturbed lowland rainforest.
