Within Indonesia and Southeast Asia in general, the island of Java experienced the earliest significant forest exploitation which was dated back from the late seventeenth century, and now Java is the most densely populated island with the lowest forest fraction among Indonesian islands. Despite of the important roles of tree cover in Java in providing environment services to 60% of the population of Indonesia and in supporting peoples’ livelihoods, the dynamics of forest and tree cover in Java remains largely unknown. Being in the most advanced stage of forest transition, Java should be able to offer some lessons learnt to the outer islands and other countries in the region.
