- Abstract
This article discusses the response of the indigenous community of Dayak Ngaju in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, to the concessions of carbon forests in the native areas they claim. Using ethnographic methods in field research, we find complicated relationships between indigenous peoples, forests, and carbon trade. Conservation labels on some previous forest management efforts have become a pretext for indigenous peoples to lose access to forests. Advocates of the global carbon trading scheme portray it as a means to provide economic justice to indigenous peoples. The findings presented in this article enrich the literature on forests and carbon trade as well as offer a different context for understanding the challenges facing indigenous communities in Central Kalimantan. The study also highlights the importance of the capacity of carbon forest companies, governments, and indigenous communities in mitigating climate change.
