Dihan Amiluhur is an Indonesian researcher, environmental historian, and anthropologist based in Yogyakarta. He holds a M.A. in Cultural Anthropology from UGM and a B.A. in History from UNY. His research focuses on multi-species relations from cultural, economic, and social perspectives, framed within a more-than-human approach to ecology and society.
He collaborated extensively with PSPK UGM and IRE Yogyakarta, contributing to research and policy initiatives on community development and ecological resilience. Amiluhur is best known as a co-author of the critically acclaimed environmental history book 32 Tahun Menjarah Alam (32 Years of Environmental Exploitation). Alongside A.S. Rimbawana and Putro Wasista, the book reflects on the legacy of Indonesia's New Order era (1966–1998), exploring how state-driven development and resource extraction left lasting environmental damage across the archipelago. He is also the author of Hasrat Buas: Perspektif Bias (Savage Desire, Biased Perspective), a study of human–animal relations in nineteenthcentury Java. The book examines the traditions of tiger–buffalo fighting and their role as arenas of political contestation between the Yogyakarta Sultanate and the Dutch colonial government, where animal symbolism became entangled with power, resistance, authority and environment. It traces how colonial interventions in these traditions contributed to ecological transformation in Java, accelerating the extinction of the Javanese tiger.
