Acknowledgements

to the first edition (1987)

This book was produced within the Environmental Management Development in Indonesia (EMDI) Project, implemented by the Indonesian Ministry of State for Population and Environment (KLH) and the School for Resource and Environmental Studies (SRES) at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The project is funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The commitment to the publication of The Ecology of Sulawesi of those people involved in the administration of the project is much appreciated and special thanks are due to Koesnadi Hardjasoemantri, Sjafran Sjamsuddin (KLH, Jakarta), Arthur Hanson, Geoffrey Hainsworth, and George Greene (SRES, Halifax). The book has been born out of the experience of producing The Ecology of Sumatra which was financed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) between 1982 and 1984.

The Rectors of the four state universities on Sulawesi namely Fachruddin, (Hasanuddin University, Ujung Pandang), Mattulada (Tadu-lako University, Palu), W.J. Waworoento (Sam Ratulangi University, Manado) and Eddy Agussalim Mokodompit (Haluoleo University, Kendari) and their staffs have cooperated by supplying information and have supported the effort to further the ecological understanding of Sulawesi.

The entire English text has been critically reviewed and examined by Jane Whitten (Bogor), Anoma Santiapillai (Bogor) and Gembong Tjitrosoepomo (Yogyakarta), the third of whom made the translation for the Indonesian version, Ekologi Sulawesi. Major portions were reviewed by Peter Bellwood (Canberra), Chris Bennett (Manado), David Bulbeck (Ujung Pandang), S.C. Chin (Kuala Lumpur), James Davie (Rock-hampton), David Dudgeon (Hong Kong), Ian Glover (London), Atmadja Hardjamulia (Bogor), Duncan Parish (Kuala Lumpur), Nicholas Polunin (Port Moresby), and Nengah Wirawan (Ujung Pandang). Great thanks are due to these people for their constructive criticisms, but it must be stressed that the mistakes remaining in the text are entirely the responsibility of the authors.

The Executive Director of Gadjah Mada University Press, H.J. Koesoe-manto^†, has always been willing to advise, listen, and cooperate and we owe him a considerable debt of gratitude.

We also express gratitude to the Royal Entomological Society of London for permission to visit their Project Wallace research site in the Bogani Nani Wartabone (formerly Dumoga-Bone) National Park, Bolaang Mongondow, in 1985.

The principal typist has been Lisbet^† who has worked with great diligence, care and commitment. The majority of the figures were drawn by Syamsul, to whom our considerable thanks are due.

Finally, and mainly, we thank Almighty God for His grace and caring love shown throughout the preparation of this book, without which it would never have been completed.
