<p>Indonesian biodiversity is threatened by massive deforestation. In this research paper, claims that deforestation in Indonesia is caused by corruption and supported by crude palm oil production is verified using time series analysis. Using Engel Granger cointegration test, three time series of data, specifically corruption perception index, rate of deforestation and price of crude palm oil are inspected for a long-run relationship. Test statistics suggests that there is no long-run relationship among these variables. Authors provide several explanations for this result. For example, corruption in Indonesia, as measured by CPI is still very high. This may mean that forest cover loss is possible even though there is a positive change in corruption level. According to the results, crude palm oil price has also no effect upon forest cover loss. This is likely due to very low shut-down price of crude palm oil for which production is still economical.</p>

Effect of exotic tree plantation on floristic composition and phytodiversity status of Rema-Kalenga wildlife sanctuary of Bangladesh was studied. A total of 309 vascular plant species under 245 genera belonging to 83 families were found to constitute the vascular flora of the studied area. The maximum number of species (298) with the highest Shannon-Weiner diversity index value (3.882±0.090) was recorded from natural forest, which was followed by 194 and 165 plant species with 3.441±0.205 and 3.398±0.103 diversity index values recorded from Tectona and Acacia plantation sites respectively. The minimum number of plant species (142) with the lowest diversity index value (2.999±0.152) was recorded from Eucalyptus plantation site. The collected data on the selected forest sites of Rema-Kalenga wildlife sanctuary showed the trends of gradual decrease in floristic composition and phytodivesity status of three plantation sites (Tectona to Acacia to Eucalyptus) in respect to natural forest, which indicated that exotic tree plantations might have negative impact on floristic composition and phytodiversity of this semi-tropical forest area and the fast-growing exotic tree plantation of Acacia and Eucalyptus should be avoided for sustainable development of Rema-Kalenga wildlife sanctuary.Jahangirnagar University J.

The three different models of Roadside Agroforest Multistoried Production Technologies (RAMPT) have been established at Bangladesh Agricultural University Campus, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. These are RAMPT-1 : Single Step Single Slope RAMPT [(SS)2 RAMPT], RAMPT-2 : Double Steps Double Slopes RAMPT [(DS)2 RAMPT], and RAMPT-3 : Triple Steps Triple Slopes RAMPT [(TS)2 RAMPT]. The results of on-going experiments both on MPTS and herbaceous species including crops and medicinal plants under the above models have been observed to be effective and encouraging with a 100% success in tree plantation. Neem, Mehogani and Bakphul based multistoried production systems have been established with understoried shrubby and herbaceous species like Jatropha, lemon, Eryngium, sunflower, turmeric, stem amaranth, chilli, lady’s finger (okra), sweet gourd, etc. The structural development and establishment of these models have been described.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v18i2.18165 Progress.
