Jeffrey Sayer,Terry Sunderland,Jaboury Ghazoul,Jean-Laurent Pfund,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Erik Meijaard,Erik Meijaard,Michelle Venter,Agni Klintuni Boedhihartono,Michael Day,Claude Garcia,Claude Garcia,Cora van Oosten,Louise E. Buck +15 more
TL;DR: It is found the landscape approach has been refined in response to increasing societal concerns about environment and development tradeoffs and there has been a shift from conservation-orientated perspectives toward increasing integration of poverty alleviation goals.
Journal ArticleDOI

David L. A. Gaveau,Sean Sloan,Elis Molidena,Husna Yaen,Doug Sheil,Nicola K. Abram,Marc Ancrenaz,Robert Nasi,Marcela Quinones,Niels Wielaard,Erik Meijaard +10 more
TL;DR: The native forests of Borneo have been impacted by selective logging, fire, and conversion to plantations at unprecedented scales since industrial-scale extractive industries began in the early 1970s, and there is still hope for biodiversity conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid conversions and avoided deforestation: examining four decades of industrial plantation expansion in Borneo
David L. A. Gaveau,Douglas Sheil,Husnayaen,Mohammad A. Salim,Sanjiwana Arjasakusuma,Marc Ancrenaz,Pablo Pacheco,Erik Meijaard +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that plantation industries have been the principle driver of deforestation in Malaysian Borneo over the last four decades, and their role in deforestation in Indonesia was less marked, but has been growing recently.
MonographDOI
The impacts and opportunities of oil palm in Southeast Asia: What do we know and what do we need to know?
Douglas Sheil,Anne Casson,Erik Meijaard,Meline van Noordwijk,Joanne Gaskell,Jacqui Sunderland-Groves,Karah Wertz,Markku Kanninen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines what we know and what we don't know about oil palm developments and concludes that the full implications of current choices are still uncertain and that much important information is often open to question or hard to generalise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maintaining ecosystem function and services in logged tropical forests
David Edwards,David Edwards,Joe Tobias,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Erik Meijaard,Erik Meijaard,William F. Laurance +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that natural timber-production forests typically retain most of their biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions, as well as their carbon, climatic, and soil-hydrological ecosystem services.
