These are fundamental questions that need to look for answers on target, not a blame game blame the owners of the home kitchen charcoal, or the managers of intensive shrimp ponds, and or people who have to change mangrove forests fungtion into palm oil plantation.
It should look for is the root of the problem, ie who really should be responsible for the extinction of the mangrove forest so that no trace in an area that eventually resulted in a shrinking livelihood of fishermen, businessmen kitchen charcoal and the shrinking of marine life (shrimp, fish and crabs), including poultry (storks, egrets and other shore birds) also bee and monkey mangroves.
According to the writer's observation since several years ago, employers' contributions as a principal refineries charcoal mangrove forest destruction, may be right. But the percentage is relatively small. Because they still need to be used as raw material mangrove charcoal. That is, they do so with select cut system for mangrove forest remain stable and not extinct. Mangrove forests sustainably, they also sustainable charcoal kitchen including their means of livelihood as well still be able to continue on an ongoing basis.
What about the employers of intensive shrimp ponds and mangrove forests actors to serve as oil palm plantation in the contribution of mangrove forest destruction? Clearly, these were the mighty mangrove forest pengrusak terrible! Mangroves became extinct. Because for them, mangrove forests are not beneficial to them. All brushed out to the stump and roots. Even not only that, several small sea coast river (paluh) they are also close! So, do not be surprised when the tide rises, then some village residents adjacent to the coast or paluh be inundated by sea water. This is fact!
Everyone knows (except employers intensive pond and palm planters who had to changes in the function of mangrove forests) that mangrove forests serve as breeding sites in addition to marine life, such as shrimp, all kinds of fish, crabs are also poultry, such as birds egrets, storks, monkeys, mangroves, bee and so on, mangrove forests also serve as a "bulwark" against harmful abrasion (erosion of the shoreline when the tide and low tide).
Since 1980's, the author has been reminded about the existence of mangrove forests in this area through newspaper articles in the Bukit Barisan Medan, where the author worked as a journalist, including some news in the daily New Barisan Medan (newspaper Daily reincarnation Bukit Barisan), but did not get attention serious of the parties are competent at the time, unless permission principle of PT Sari Bumi Bakau was canceled.
If we are honest, destruction of mangrove forest that is so severe in Langkat is not due to the charcoal plant. Why? Because they are not likely to destroy their respective businesses that have been hereditary since tens of years ago.
Coastal fishing income to be reduced? One hundred percent correct! For most of the breeding sites of marine life are extinct due to acts of intensive shrimp farmers and oil palm plantation owners who had to changes in the function of mangroves forest.
The shrinking breeding of marine life compounded by the disposal of toxic waste pond ready for harvest. Toxic waste were dumped into the sea. Not until the middle of the sea, berancun waste which has polluted the sea, was driven back by the tide, into sea coast river (Paluh). The seeds of marine life become unconscious and die!
I still remember, when I was teenager, charcoal produced from Pangkalansusu (Swallow brand), quality is quite good and highly favored by the people in North Sumatera dan Jakarta to fuel the iron and kitchen. Not only that, mangrove wood for calf adults also used as firewood for cooking and firewood for the steam locomotive train (when it is not there a diesel locomotive). In addition, mangrove wood is also used as building material. But the mangroves are not extinct!
When the tiger shrimp, which he said "prima donna" foreign exchange began to be cultivated until the mushroom on the coast of the Indonesian archipelago, especially in North Sumatera, the existence and condition of mangrove forests to be changed drastically, gradually, but surely, been cut down mangrove forests down to its roots. Mangrove forests turned into a stretch of extinct tiger shrimp ponds. Who have money competing to make shrimp ponds. License issued by local government. So is the case with mangrove forest change into palm oil plantation.
Well, if that’s the situation already, who’s to blame? Please answer the readers themselves.
Penilis recall, was there such a thing “Empang Paluh Program”, but its existence is not clear. Money runs out, Empang Paluh not materialize to preserve mangrove forests.
But clearly, according to Head Center for Conservation of Natural Resources (BBKSDA) of North Sumatra, Wicaksono Djati Hadi as submitted by the Antara News January 23, 2010, destruction of mangrove forests covering about 6,000 hectares from 15,765 hectares of mangrove forest in North Sumatera Province.
He mentioned an area of 6000 hectares of mangrove forest destruction in Sumatra there are at Coral Ivory in District of Labuhan Deli, Deli Serdang regency which reaches about 4,000 hectares.
Then an area of 2000 hectares in the village of Padang Halaban, District Besitang, and Pangkalan Batu village, District of Brandan Barat, Langkat.
According to him, the destruction of mangrove forests in Sumatra is not only caused by forest encroachers who took the wood, but also due to changes in the function of a land oil or fish ponds.
Medium for entrepreneurs refinery charcoal, especially the fishermen, the extinction of some mangroves in Langkat really very alarming. Why? Because the community owner charcoal home industry know wery wel if mangrove forest loss its means will destroy their livelihood. Similarly, for the fishermen.
According to them (fishermen host) where mangroves grow lush and thick, definitely the beach a lot of fish and shrimp. The air in the coastal feels cooler because they can take shelter under a thick mangrove tree while fishing.
Meanwhile, mangrove trees are also believed to play a role as protector very natural and paluh coastal areas, because tree root systems that can stabilize the mud beach and can absorb various pollutants and keep sea water intrusion (intrusion) toward the mainland. Stem density and canopy are also able to resist and break the power of the sea breeze.
It’s well understood by the fishermen and businessmen charcoal home industry refinery and therefore they are still trying to preserve the mangrove forests by selective logging. Mangrove wood is also a side income for fishermen when the sea was not friendly at certain seasons.
Ahua or some people call his name as Anwar was charcoal gatherers hereditary at jalan Pahlawan no. 71 Pangkalansusu who care to save the mangrove forests in District Pangkalansusu, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Ahua buy dozens of hectares of abandoned shrimp ponds, which the former is not used by their owners for planting mangrove trees in coastal village area, Pangkalansiata, District Pangkalansusu.
Activities undertaken by Ahua not only reached the ears Camat Pangkalansusu course, but it extends to Forest Service offices, parliament and the office of Regent Langkat. The parties and even then had to do a review directly to the scene, and they strongly support the program Ahua reclaiming abandoned shrimp ponds to be former mangrove forests.
Top concern for land reclamation of abandoned shrimp ponds used by private fund since several years ago, has gained charter Ahua and Kalpataru award from Regent Langkat, Ngogesa Sitepu on June 15, 2009.
Not only that, Ahua also has invited a group of nature lovers INLA (International Nature Loving Association) North Sumatra branch, led by Suhartini, SE for planting mangrove trees in the village of Pangkalansiata. Appeal Ahua welcomed by the INLA North Sumatra branch of the INLA, which is based in Taiwan.
According to the Head of Environmental INLA, Yudi Shenjaya, commonly called Aseng, the author, since October 2009 it had tens of thousands of stems of mangrove planting on an area of 6 hectares. Planting is done in stages over 20 hectares of land they bought from local residents.
To prove what has been done by Ahua, before he gotten Kalpataru award, co-author Pangkalansiata mayor and officers from the District Head's office has conducted a review Pangkalansusu directly to a reclamation site in the hamlet of Sei Lemongrass, Pangkalansiata Village, District Pangkalansusu.
According Ahua, activities that are done for reforesting abandoned land has been implemented since July 2007 currently in an area of 85 hectares. No less than 850 thousand stems of mangroves have flourished to become a green carpet covering the eye could see.
Alluding to a private fund that has been investing for reclamation of abandoned land is Ahua claimed to have been approximately USD 500 million.
Should the government give grants to people who care about the preservation of mangrove forests, such as Ahua.
