The Bogor Regency Government in West Java has designated the Upper\nCiliwung area as a priority for environmental movements through various\nconservation actions held at Telaga Saat, coinciding with World\nEnvironment Day and the 544th anniversary of Bogor.<\/p>\n
The Regional Secretary of Bogor Regency, Ajat Rochmat Jatnika, stated\nthat the regency plays a strategic role as both upstream and downstream\nareas within a single eco-region, meaning environmental preservation\nefforts must be comprehensive.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, we have taken steps to protect the downstream areas. When we\naddress the downstream, we must also address the upstream. Currently,\nthe Regent wishes to focus on the upstream region, because our source of\nlife originates from there,\u201d Ajast said at Telaga Saat, Bogor Regency,\non Friday.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the Bogor Regency Government is striving to maintain\nenvironmental quality in the area through various conservation\nactivities, ranging from the distribution of eco-enzymes to improve\nwater quality, tree planting, and the release of wildlife and fish\nspecies tailored to the local habitat.<\/p>\n
Ajat explained that the fish released during the activity were\nselected based on their suitability to the aquatic ecosystem in the\nupstream area to support environmental sustainability while providing\neconomic benefits to the local community.<\/p>\n
In addition to protecting water resources, the Bogor Regency\nGovernment is also planting \u2018pule air\u2019 trees as an effort to strengthen\nsoil conservation functions and maintain environmental balance in the\nupstream area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want the community to see directly that protecting the\nenvironment is a process. Therefore, we are taking steps that provide\nbenefits that can be felt and understood by the public,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
During the \u2018Budaya Ngalokat Cai\u2019 event, the Bogor Regency Government\nreleased 5,444 local fish, 544 birds, distributed eco-enzymes into the\nwaters, created biopores, and officially inaugurated the Eco-Friendly\nVillage Forum (Forum Kampung Ramah Lingkungan - KRL).<\/p>\n
Ajat noted that the Eco-Friendly Village Forum is expected to serve\nas the frontline in managing various environmental issues, ranging from\nwaste and effluents to water resources and ecosystem preservation at the\ncommunity level.<\/p>\n
According to him, the success of protecting the upstream area cannot\nbe achieved by the government alone, but requires the involvement of the\ncommunity, organisations, business actors, academics, and the mass\nmedia.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnvironmental preservation cannot be done in isolation. All parties\nmust move together to ensure the upstream area remains protected,\nbecause this is where the source of life originates,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bogor-regency-makes-upper-ciliwung-area-a-priority-for-environmental-movement-1780814044", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
