Commemorating a colleague:We received the sad news that
on October 11th, 2011 our
colleague and friend Dr.
Herwint Simbolonhas passed
away. He died unexpectedly onhis 55th birthday. He was born
in Ramunia, Deli Serdang,
North Sumatera on October
11th, 1956.
He took his PhD and graduated
from Kagoshima University in
1993.
He worked for the Research
Center of Biology LIPI and as a
key-person in many research
projects between Indonesia
and Japan, including JST-JICA
Wild Fire and Carbon
Management in Peat-Forest in
IndonesiaProject.
Our community is shocked,
voiceless and very sad. He will
be missed by all of us, by his
colleagues and all young
scientists. We have lost one of
our experts on Peat-swamp
Forest Ecology.
Our thoughts go to his family,
relatives in Indonesia,
colleagues and friends
dispersed around the world.

UNPAR in Central Kalimantan,
Indonesia. Both areas
experienced dangerous fires in
dry months of 2009. The total
number of hotspots (fire)

occurrences, respectively.
To understand the role of 2009
