Introduction
Terusan village in West-Kalimantan (Indonesia) on the island of Borneo is completely surrounded by oil palm. The villagers grow rice and rubber on their ancestral lands. Recently, an oil palm company made Terusan an offer to convert their village land to an oil palm plantation. The people of Terusan have to make a choice about their future. They decided to map their lands first.
This book, co-published by FPP and Institut Dayakologi, is part of a joint project on putting customary rights into spatial planning in Sanggau District. It documents the sacred, natural and ritual values of Tiong Kandang forest to the indigenous peoples of Bangka village in Sanggau District, West Kalimantan, and the participatory mapping of their ancestral adat (customary) lands.
This article comes from our partners Institut Dayakologi and is taken from an original article by Dominikus Uyub in the Kalimantan Review magazine, in November 2010.
