No More Human-Nature Communication

communication or friendship relationship between nature and humans have now been broken so much that violated local wisdom and not running.

This is causing environmental disaster occurred repeatedly, especially in West Java that the potential threat of its disaster greater appeal in other areas.

It was raised in commemoration of the environment that carries the theme of mainstreaming culture in Monument West Java, Bandung Sunday (05/06/2011).

Environmental Observer observer, a member of the Board of Environmental Sustainability Tatar Sunda (DPKLTS) Sobirin Supardiono states, there is now no longer ketabuan that obeyed by the public.

Though ketabuan (pamali-Sunda) is the local wisdom to preserve nature. For example, mountainous areas should be reforested, even agricultural land being cleared and made a season, short-term.

The cliffs are no longer planted bamboo trees and springs many are covered by the concrete jungle, for example in North Bandung.

As a result of all this, nature finally govern themselves. It's like the proverbial water flow delivered by an artist Sundanese, we moal ngelehan, moal ngelehkeun, but surely nepi ka destination. Ngan hampura ambition kalabrak aya nu, kasered kabawa palid, Jeung kabanjiran kakeueum, da bongan ngalahangan Jeung aya dina jajalaneun us. (We will not give in and beat but surely to the goal. But sorry if anyone hit by floods swept away and inundated because our way).

Sobirin pointed out, vast areas of protected watershed areas (watershed) upstream Citarum should be 52 percent or about 340,000 hectares.

But there are now only about 39,000 hectares or about 11 percent. From the vast forests that had only 10,000 hectares, the rest have changed the functions ranging from agricultural land to the villa.

As a result, disasters (flooding) happens continuously. Because of rainfall 108 cubic meters per second / year slide into Citarum River which can accommodate discharge capacity is only 41 cubic meters per second.

If the protected area and water catchment area that reaches 52 percent, then about 67 cubic meters per second rain water can be absorbed.

"It remains to choose, would expand the cross-section of the river up to its capacity to accommodate the rain water discharge, which means moving people, or optimize the protected area," he said.

Another fact is as much as 17 percent of the existing protected areas continue to targeted by investors. Mastery through the lure, intervention, and intimidation.

Since both options are a real dilemma, he suggested that performed social engineering that involved citizens. For example, every home should have a leach pit. Then, half of the number of family members in each household in the catchment area are required to plant trees to meet adequate water catchment areas.
