Abstract: Although there is a rationale for a more conservative management of the remaining tropical forests, policy-makers in the tropical countries tend to be reluctant to implement appropriate policy measures, because they fear the short-run economic costs of environmental protection. Taking Indonesia as an example, the following article outlines how it is possible to protect tropical forests more effectively without necessarily foregoing economic gains.
