Mangrove Festival in East Java

0

Yagasu, in collaboration with the East Java Provincial Government and Pasuruan Regency Government, held the first Mangrove Festival in East Java. This Mangrove Festival activity directly involved the CEO of Yagasu, Mr. Bambang Suprayogi, the Governor of East Java, Ms. Khofifah Indar Parawansa, the Regent of Pasuruan, Mr. Irsyad Yusuf, and the people of East Java. This Mangrove Festival began with the joint planting of 1000 Mangrove seedlings, which was led by the Governor of East Java, Ms. Khofifah.

Through the implementation of the first Mangrove Festival in East Java, Governor Khofifah invited all parties to donate oxygen through mangrove planting activities. For this reason, this kind of festival can be a reference for all parties and strategic elements in East Java to jointly increase the mangrove planting movement. The aim is to strengthen natural ecosystems and the carrying capacity of the environment.

According to Khofifah, currently all countries are facing global climate change which causes various natural disasters such as floods. Not only that, mangroves have the benefit of reducing greenhouse gas and carbon emissions and can produce five times more oxygen than trees planted on land.

 

“Today I want to convey to all the citizens of East Java, let’s give oxygen. The oxygen produced by mangroves can be up to five times that of trees on land. Especially now that the world is facing global climate change and mangroves have a significant impact. oxygen production. Indonesia and East Java have significant coastline lengths. So let’s donate oxygen by planting mangroves,” she said.

Therefore, she hopes that this mangrove festival can be a benchmark for planting at any point that can be done, without having to wait for time. Because global climate change continues to occur and its effects hit several countries in the world.

The event continued by exhibiting processed products from Mangroves such as organic Mangrove Batik, and processed foods and beverages that utilize various kinds of Mangroves as the basic ingredients. The Mangrove Festival event closed with the release of Pecuk Birds, Ibis Birds, Fish, and Crabs as a symbol of the preservation of these animals in the presence of a good Mangrove Forest.

Mangrove Processing Training in Danau Siombak

0

Mangrove-Based Food Processing Training

Yagasu Team conducted training on food processing from mangrove fruit with mothers and young people in Danau Siombak, Paya Pasir, Medan Marelan District. The abundance of Mangrove fruit around Danau Siombak is a shame if it is not utilized, the Mangrove fruit can be used as food and drinks that are nutritious and have economic value.

The Mangrove preparations that were given training to mothers and young people at Danau Siombak this time were training on making syrup and jam from Berembang fruit, and making chips from Jeruju leaves.

We hope that with the implementation of this food processing training, the mothers and the young people in Lake Siombak can increase their source of income through the processing of mangroves that are widely available in Lake Siombak.

Mangrove Patrol

1

Yagasu Team with UPT. KPH 3 Langsa, and the Sungai Lueng village community group carried out mangrove patrol activities in Sungai Lueng Village, East Langsa District, Langsa City.

This Mangrove Patrol is routinely carried out by Yagasu which aims to observe the condition of the Mangrove forest, and then identify events encountered in the forest and forest area. The results of the patrol in Sungai Lueng Village this time, it was found that there was clearing of habitat from forest to incentive ponds.

The patrol team also found a wooden boat carrying approximately 100 felled Mangrove logs, from this finding the patrol team followed up by conducting in-depth interviews with the loggers, which was followed by providing education to the loggers.

Hopefully, with the Mangrove patrol this time, the loggers are aware of the education we provide, and will not cut down Mangroves again in the future.

Yagasu team visits Al-azhar Medan School

On Thursday (July 21, 2022) the Yagasu Team carried out a school visiting activity by visiting the Al-Azhar school in Medan. At this school visit, Yagasu gave an environmental understanding of Mangrove and Mangrove Ecosystems to high school students.

At this School Visiting, the understanding of environmental material was directly conveyed by the program director of Yagasu, Mrs. Meilinda Suriani Harefa. Al-Azhar students are very enthusiastic in recognizing and learning about Mangrove and Mangrove Ecosystems which are quite foreign to them.

Not only given an understanding of the material, Al-Azhar students were also given an understanding of the environment by playing games and quizzes.

By holding this School Visiting, we really hope that Al-Azhar students can get to know and understand more about how important the benefits and survival of Mangroves on our Earth.

Previously, the Yagasu team with PLN (State Electricity Company) Belawan Generation Control Implementation Unit (UPDK), through the Environmental Social Responsibility (TJSL) program first renovated a reading house that had existed since 2019.

Furthermore, the Yagasu team, supported by PLN Peduli, also provided training on making eco-print Batik masks for children in the area around Siombak Lake.

(Opening remarks by Yagasu’s Program Director, Meilinda Suriani Harefa)

Meilinda, the Program Director of  Yagasu, expressed her gratitude to PLN UPDK (Generation Control Implementing Unit) Belawan for rehabilitating the reading house and building a public bathroom in it.

“This help is very useful for Rumah Baca Merah Putih which is chaired by the North Sumatran mangrove activist, Wibi Nugraha.” She said.

She also asked for the commitment of the reading house community group members because without their commitment to helping, the TJSL provided by PLN UPDK Belawan would not be implemented properly.

Harmanto, Manager of PLN UPDK Belawan Harmanto through the Manager of the Paya Pasir ULPLTG (Gas Power Electricity Center Service Unit), Hendri Prianto, hopes that the rehabilitation of this reading house can provide comfort for children who study in Rumah Baca Merah Putih

The mangrove planting, as explained by the Program Director of Yagasu, Meilinda Suriani Harefa, aims to increase the environmental capacity of mangrove ecosystem for climate change mitigation and adaptation, natural disaster risk reduction, biodiversity conservation and coastal communities empowerment.

(The Opening Remarks of Yagasu’s Program Director, Meilinda Suriani Harefa)

“Currently, Yagasu team and the community have planted 25.000 mangrove trees Rhizophora Mucronata and Rhizophora Stylosa species in an area of ​​10 hectares,” explained Meilinda when interviewed by reporters after the ceremonial event.

Meilinda also explained that since 2001, Yagasu has been consistently working on conservation in the east coast of Aceh.

“Yagasu is open for collaboration with the local government to preserve the environment through mangrove planting,” she added.

She explained that in Aceh Jaya, mangrove planting had begun in August 2001 with an area of ​​420 hectares prepared.

Then, seeing the enthusiasm of the community to participate in training on restoration activities, Yagasu added more areas of land for planting mangrove trees.

Meanwhile, Assistant II of the Aceh Jaya Regional Secretariat, Rahmat Oriza, appreciated the Aceh Jaya District Government for the implementation of the mangrove planting program in Aceh Jaya, which was conducted by Yagasu.

“Hopefully this program can raise people’s awareness for protecting the environment and and mangrove forests, as well as being one of the government’s strategies in improving and recovering the economy of the local community who live in coastal areas,” he said.

He also hopes that this kind of activities can be carried out continuously in the context of developing and preserving mangrove areas in the West coast of Aceh province.

According to Rahmad, mangroves have enormous benefits, because apart from preventing abrasion, mangrove forests are also a shelter for ecosystem habitats such as fish and crabs.

He also explained that mangrove forests can create new job opportunities for the surrounding community, so that the wheels of the economy can continue to spin and the welfare of the community can be improved.

“Don’t let mangrove forest be destroyed, cut down or converted into a pond or plantation area,” he concluded.
