    A new social forestry program has been implemented in Java to overcome encroachment of state forests. In this program, the state and local communities jointly manage the state forests and share the benefits of increased forest resource stock and flow as a result of the management.

Property rights transfers and economic analyses were employed to analyze the incentive structure.
