OH MY ... MALANG Nian MAGROVE fate NOW ......

Pekanbaru - The presence of nutrients in mangrove area is controlled by a variety of biogeochemical processes including tidal, decomposition of accumulated dirt and grime. Nutrient abundant in land that is growing inside and in locations where relatively high input of fresh water (Boto and Wellington 1996 in Le, 2008).

Nitrogen and phosphate are the kinds of nutrients needed by the mangrove land. In wetland sediments, ammonium is the first form of inorganic nitrogen. Ammonium will interact with oxygen and oxidized to nitrate. Through the process of denitrification, nitrate will change in microbial become N2O and N2. Same with nitrogen in the wetlands of dissolved phosphate concentration is also affected by salinity where solution phosphate concentration will be reduced by increasing levels of salinity (Robertson and Blaber 1992 in Loi Tan Le 2008). The limited amount of phosphate will slow the growth of mangrove (Broome et al 1994 in Loi Tan Le, 2008).

Mangrove forest into land for disposal of waste water it would benefit primarily for plant growth and productivity of mangrove ecosystems derived from nutrients supplied by the waste water (Boto 1996 in YSWong et all 1997). Research Henry (1978) in YSWong (1997) reported that nutrient levels in leaves of mangroves which receives waste water is significantly higher than those who did not receive waste water. However, nutrient levels in leaves of the same value with the nutrients in the root zone.

HUNDREDS OF PLANTATION SOCIETY HECTARE BY ELEPHANTS

Bengkalis - Since the end of 2009 until now, the herd of wild elephants have destroyed at least 200 hectares of oil palm and food crops in the village of Farmers, District Saber, Bengkalis District, Riau.

Village Chief Farmer, Rianto, in Bengkalis, on Friday, said that the herd of Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is destroying plantations by eating fairy palm branches, while the crops damaged by elephant herd whose numbers traversed over 20 fish.

According Rianto, damage to plantations owned by these people will continue to grow every day because of the elephant herd is always moving, from one to the other plantation estates.

In fact, he said, to avoid the savagery of the elephant herd, some village residents Farmers chose to flee to safer areas.

Mention of harvest associated with the elephant herd, he said, "Residents wary of the arrival of a protected animal that by forming a group whose numbers harvested 20 people."

He hopes that with the formation of groups to harvest it can prevent things that are not desirable. The reason is, those who became victims due to harvest his garden on an individual basis.

"Usually an elephant afraid of seeing people bustling. So, we formed a team to be able to harvest harvester keroyokan garden, "said Rianto.

Bayu (40), a resident of the village of Farmers, hoping that local governments act swiftly whenever there is an elephant conflicts in the region. The problem area is the path that routinely flock bongsor.

"If necessary the elephants were exiled from the village to avoid conflict, and the district government opened a vast land conservation as a star," he suggested.

After that, he added, was given a land conservation fencing to narrow the space for a herd of elephants.

Setiap tahun terjadi kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Kejadian ini sudah menjadi issu penting dan merupakan sebuah rutinitas yang menghabiskan APBN dan APBD yang cukup besar jumlahnya untuk pemadaman kebakaran. Belum lagi kalau dihitung dampak kesehatan terhadap jutaan masyarakat yang terkena dampak dari asap yang ditimbulkan.

Sampai Saat ini penanggulangan kebakaran hutan sebatas upaya pemadaman api pada saat kebakaran terjadi. Sedangkan perencanaan menyeluruh belum dilakukan bahkan dalam konfrensi pers yang dilakukan wakil gubernur riau yang juga menjabat sebagai ketua pusdalkarhutha (Pusat pengendalian kebakaran hutan dan lahan) baru baru ini tidak menggambarkan perencanaan yang utuh dalam penaggulangan kebakaran hutan dan lahan.

Munculnya bencana asap di riau setiap tahun (periode 2000-2008) diakibatkan oleh izin pemanfaatan ruang yang diberikan terhadap perusahaan besar yang ada di provinsi riau dengan kontribusi titik api berjumlah sekitar 34748 atau 60,88%.

Kebakaran Terjadi Akibat degradasi lingkungan sebagai akibat dari pemberian izin pemanfaatan ruang pada kawasan yang berkategori lindung menurut kepres 32 tahun 1990, PP 47 tahun 1997 dan PP 26 tahun 2008.

Jumlah Titik api yang menimbulkan asap berada pada kawasan bergambut pada periode 200-2008 dengan jumlah titik api 39.813 atau 69,76% dari total titik api.

Penyebab dari kebakaran pada kawasan bergambut terjadi karena pembuatan drainase skala besar, sehingga mengganggu keseimbangan hidrologi pada kawasan gambut pada musim kemarau.

Terjadinya kebakaran berulang setiap tahun mengindikasikan bahwa pengelolaan kawasan bergambut gagal dikelola sebagai kawasan budidaya.

HABITAT HARIMAU SUMATERA TERANCAM AKIBAT PERAMBAHAN DAN ALIH FUNGSI LAHAN

Perambahan dan alih fungsi hutan secara liar di kawasan 48 ribu hektar (ha) hutan lindung Bukit Betabuh di Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi, Riau, mengancam kelangsungan hidup harimau sumatra.

Celakanya, ribuan ha kawasan hutan lindung yang tersisa sebagai fungsi daerah resapan air itu kini berubah menjadi kebun kelapa sawit milik pribadi.

Hutan lindung yang memiliki karakteristik tekstur pegunungan itu kini sebagian telah beralih fungsi menjadi perkebunan kelapa sawit milik perorangan. Papan nama sebagai tanda kawasan hutan lindung pun kini sudah hilang.

Menurut warga papan nama itu sengaja dicabut oleh orang tidak dikenal. Sedangkan pengawasan terhadap daerah lindung sama sekali tidak dilakukan lagi oleh pemerintah setempat Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi. Akibatnya, sekitar 10 harimau sumatra yang hidup di hutan lindung itu habitatnya makin terancam.

"Kebun kelapa sawit ini milik Syamsir alias Akim warga asal Basrah yang sekarang menetap di Kota Pekanbaru. Kebun sawit ini dikelola oleh anaknya Susi," kata Sigit, pengawas kebun sawit seluas 200 ha di dalam hutan lindung Bukit Betabuh, Desa Logas, Kecamatan Muara Lembu, Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi.

Menurut leleki asal Jawa Tengah itu, perkebunan kelapa sawit milik pribadi itu telah dikelola lebih dari tiga tahun. Namun, Sigit mengaku tidak tahu jika perkebunan itu sudah melanggar karena berada di dalam kawasan hutan lindung Bukit Betabuh.

"Yang punya kebun sawit disini bukan hanya Pak Akim. Sebelah ujung sana juga ada warga yang punya. Di hutan bukit sebelah utara itu juga sudah ada yang jaga dan juga akan dijadikan kebun sawit," terangnya.

Home Design

Interior decoration or décor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets.
Interior decorating is done professionally by interior decorators. It is considered a design field.
There is a distinct difference between interior decorating and interior design. Interior decorating is a trade, generally focused on finishes, such as wallpaper, paint, window coverings, and furnishings. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space as well as the creation of a lifestyle experience through the study of environmental psychology or human behavior.
