ABSTRACT
This chapter takes us to another Indonesian island, Sulawesi; and to a second generation of ACM-style research and action. It examines what design elements change when opportunities appear and a group addresses new challenges. The chapter examines important landscape principles and how a PAR process can contribute to environmental sustainability, observing also the link between PAR and multiple stakeholders’ hopes for greater accountability. The Indonesian examples provide additional evidence of the enduring nature of the bonds of trust and communication that a PAR process can initiate – showing also its feasibility at an intermediate scale. The successful devolution of rights to manage a local forest, now recognized more broadly, also echoes the findings of Yuliani et al., in Jambi, Sumatra.
