	Save an Indonesian Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Yamdena is one of over 13,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago.
		Direct appeal by concerned citizens in countries around the world, on Yamdena's behalf, is perhaps the best way now to let the Indonesian government know that the eyes of the world are upon it.
		Acting in solidarity with the islanders, we can urge the Minister of Forestry to cancel logging concessions on Yamdena island; to recognize the traditional land rights of the island people; and to ensure for the local people equitable benefits and a voice in the decisions regarding their natural resources.

	DTE 42 / August 99: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The indigenous people of Yamdena Island in the Tanimbars, Maluku, have resumed protests against the destruction of their forests after the government withdrew from an agreement to halt commercial logging on the island.
		The 164,000-hectare logging concession on Yamdena is held by a joint venture, between logging company, PT Mohtra Agung, and state-owned PT Inhutani I. Local people, national and international organisations have campaigned against commercial logging on Yamdena for many years, to safeguard the livelihoods of the island's indigenous communities and protect its unique fauna and flora.
		For the people of Yamdena, and for the many other indigenous communities struggling to defend their forest resources, these words have yet to be translated into deeds.

	Loggers Move Into Indigenous Lands in Indonesia Again (fwd) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Yamdena's indigenous population of 83,000, have nothing to gain from the logging, but face the destruction of their traditional livelihoods and the erosion of their culture.
		Yamdena is also home to a number of unique fauna species including cockatoos and a type of wild buffalo.
		Actions speak louder than words, however, and the case of Yamdena illustrates how Indonesia's commitment to maintaining biodiversity falters when it comes up against the interests of the loggers and their friends in the government.

		The Yamdena did not have any "modern day conveniences" such as toilet facilities, and the only sleeping quarters and protection against Darwin's wet season storms for the seven men was a "small box".

		In addition, although most of the primary lowland forest is of the moist evergreen type, displaying little seasonality, in places (most prominently, the west part of Yamdena and south Aru) we find semi-dry monsoon and savanna forest [SKEPHI, 1992: 23; van Steenis, 1958], and patches of semi-evergreen forest on other islands (especially Halmahera and Seram).
		The sub-fossil and palynological evidence in question usually comprises signs of anthropogenic burning and changing species composition reflecting patterns of clearance, cultivation and seed dispersal [Maloney, 1993].
		This has been due to low indigenous population levels, the concentration of the existing population in more accessible centres and along coasts, general economic peripherality and low in-migration.

	Tanimbar Cockatoo (Cacatua goffini) - BirdLife species factsheet
		Summary Cacatua goffini is restricted to the Banda Sea Islands of Yamdena and Larat (Tanimbar) with an introduced population on Kai, Indonesia, where it inhabits forest and agricultural land.
		In the 1980s the numbers of birds entering trade annually exceeded 10,000 in some years and there were fears for its security, but the total population is estimated to be 300,000-400,000 individuals.
		Habitat loss continues apace in the south of Yamdena and this, combined with continuing trapping, must be producing a decline.

	Blue-streaked Lory (Eos reticulata) - BirdLife species factsheet
		Summary Eos reticulata is restricted to the Banda Sea Islands Endemic Bird Area, Indonesia, where it inhabits forest, coconut plantations and mangroves on Tanimbar (Yamdena and Larat), with populations reported on Babar, Damar and Kai in the late nineteenth century but not since.
		An average 3,198 birds were traded annually in the period 1983-1989, but fieldwork in 1993 on Yamdena revealed an estimated 220,000 ± 52,000 birds, and past catch rates were judged unlikely to have caused any decline.
		However, habitat loss continues apace in the south of Yamdena and this, combined with continuing trapping, may cause it to decline in the future.

		Conservation Value Pulau Nuswotar and Pulau Angwarmase reserves were originally established to protect values such as nesting marine turtles and an endemic orchid Dendrobium phalaenopsis (on P. Angwarmase) but have become degraded to the extent that conservation values have been lost or severely reduced.
		It has been recomended that P. Angwarmase be abolished as a nature reserve and that P. Nuswotar be incorporated into a larger property encompassing the still outstanding conservation value of the Central Yamdena lowland forests.
		Pulau Nustaram has little conservation value and it is recommended that it be incorporated, along with P. Nuswotar, into a larger reserve (Schulz, 1989).
