Darmanto and A. Setyowati.2012. Berebut Hutan Siberut: Orang Mentawai, Kekuasaan dan Perubahan(Power and Change: Political Ecology of Siberut’s Rainforest). Jakarta: UNESCO .and KPG (459 pp).
This book is a result of four years ethnographic research to understand political, economy and social transformation that contribute to the change of forest governance in Siberut Island in Indonesia. PDF available for download.
“Political-ecology is a field of study that takes seriously the specific history of a place, and the social, cultural and economic relations that have transformed identities, livelihoods and landscapes over time. This book is an outstanding example of work in this tradition: empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated, and capable of illuminating complex processes. It doesn’t simplify the story into one of victims and villains, but shows how differently situated actors respond to a dynamic social field in which new desires and opportunities emerge, together with new constraints. It is an excellent read. Bravo!”

SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions – A Political Ecology Approach. In Sustainable Development Goals on Forests: Their Impacts on Forest and People. University of Cambridge Press.
Forests provide vital ecosystem services crucial to human well-being and sustainable development, and have an important role to play in achieving the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Little attention, however, has yet focused on how efforts to achieve the SDGs will impact forests and forest-related livelihoods, and how these impacts may, in turn, enhance or undermine the contributions of forests to climate and development. This book discusses the conditions that influence how SDGs are implemented and prioritised, and provides a systematic, multidisciplinary global assessment of interlinkages among the SDGs and their targets, increasing understanding of potential synergies and unavoidable trade-offs between goals.
