Forestry and Plantations in Southeast Asia https://lecture2go.uni-hamburg.de/l2go/-/get/l/6883 “Forestry and Plantations in Southeast Asia (SEA)” is the topic of a two-semester series of classes. During the summer semester of 2021, the class has already covered insular SEA, especially Indonesia and the Philippines. In the fall-winter semester of 2021/22, the focus will be on continental SEA. Especially the Central Indochinese Highlands will be in the center of attention, and on the side of the three countries Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. In recent decades, it is well known that so much natural forest area has been lost, so many hectares of plantations have been developed, starting in Vietnam, then spreading across the borders to Lower Laos and Northeastern Cambodia. The Vietnamese logging and plantation company Hoàng Anh Gia Lai is one prominent example. Similar processes occur in Northern Indochina as well, for instance along the Laos-China border. During the seminar and lecture series, we would like to raise some of the following questions, for example: How did deforestation happen, and how did the plantation industry grow - causes, processes, and consequences. How would forestry or ecology sciences, geography or sociology assess this matter? What could and should be to done to preserve the natural tropical rain forest? Are there are positive, effective methods to avoid the complete loss of natural tropical forests in the region of SEA, or is it doomed to disappear? The seminar includes a number of guest lectures from experts of the field who will give insights into the topic from different perspectives. en-US University of Hamburg Lecture2Go 2021 University of Hamburg - Lecture2Go The University of Hamburg offers a steadily growing portion of its lectures online and similar to a take-away.
