Southeast Asia has been a focus for research by the global alternatives to Slash-and-Burn (ASB) program (http://www.asb.cgiar.org) since 1994. ASB has been recognized for ‘scaling up’ results of its research to the global level and its findings on tradeoffs between global environmental concerns and local and national development objectives, both of which have been useful in the global debate on sustainability (CGIAR, 2000). However, other more localized environmental services at the landscape and watershed scales were recognized as a significant gap in this analysis in terms of impacts on local people, priorities of key policymakers and in the potential complementarity of landscape and watershed (what we call ‘meso-scale’) environmental issues with global environmental concerns such as habitat loss and carbon sequestration.
