Both maps available for download from Ministry of Forestry website (http://www.dephut.go.id)

Areas qualified for protection

Slope classes and elevations above 2000m generated from SRTM 90m DEM (available from the CGIAR website: http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/); sensitive soil types on slopes of above 15% determined from 1:250,000 land unit soil map series published by the Pusat Penilitian Tanah dan Agroklimat, Bogor, 1990. Peat depth larger than 3 m adapted from Wetland International Indonesia.

Land not suitable for main agricultural crops

Te suitability of different land systems for various agricultural products taken from the RePPProT (Re- gional Physical Planning Programme for Transmigration) project of the 1980’s. Each land system was assessed as Suitable, Unsuitable, or Unsuitable without inputs for a number of commodities. Landsys- tems were mapped at a scale of 1:250,000. Land Resource Department/Bina Program, 1988.
