摘要天然橡胶需求的增长对生物多样性和森林生态系统的威胁日益严重。近日，法国米其林集团开始与世界自然基金会（WWF）合作，在印度尼西亚苏门答腊和加里曼丹建立环境和社会可持续发展的“模范”橡胶种植园。米其林轮胎生产的“生态友好型”和他们所谓的“可持续”橡胶种植与居住在苏门答腊詹比省米其林种植园周围的村民的说法相矛盾，他们报告了环境破坏和土地所有权冲突。从概念上讲，我们建立在政治生态学和关键的人文地理学的观点，以确定有关可持续发展的要求，森林砍伐和剥夺的冲突和歧义。从经验上讲，我们利用定性研究在一个村庄受种植园。我们面对和解构可持续橡胶生产的话语框架与我们的实证研究结果。我们展示了种植园如何限制土地的使用权，而不是提供额外的收入，实际上是限制了发展机会。
ABSTRACT The growing demand for natural rubber is increasingly threatening biodiversity and forest ecosystems. Recently, the French Michelin Group started a cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to establish environmentally and socially sustainable ‘model’ rubber plantations in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The framing of Michelin’s tyre production as ‘eco-friendly’ and their purported ‘sustainable’ rubber cultivation contradict with statements by villagers living around Michelin’s plantation in Jambi Province, Sumatra, who are reporting environmental destruction and land tenure conflicts. Conceptually, we build on political ecology and critical human geography perspectives to identify conflicts and ambiguities related to sustainability claims, deforestation and dispossession. Empirically, we draw on qualitative research in a village affected by the plantation. We confront and deconstruct the discursive framing of sustainable rubber production with our empirical findings. We show how the plantation restricts access to land and instead of providing additional income, is actually limiting development opportunities.
