Heavy flooding has inundated multiple areas in Samarinda, East Kutai Regency, and Kutai Kartanegara Regency over the past week, forcing thousands to evacuate and cutting off major roads. In Samarinda, floods have affected five subdistricts: Samarinda Utara, Sungai Pinang, Samarinda Ulu, Sungai Kunjang, and Loa Janan Ilir. Water has submerged 22 locations, including Lempake, Sungai Siring, Bukuan, Air Putih, Air Hitam, Lembuswana, Pramuka, Gerilya, Lempake Jaya, Brigjen Katamso, Loa Janan Ilir, Damai, Loa Bakung, Bukit Pinang, Karang Asam Ulu, and Sungai Keledang. The floods also reached Pampang Cultural Village, a well-known Dayak cultural tourism destination in Samarinda. According to the Samarinda City Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), the floods have affected 4,414 people, with floodwaters reaching up to 1 meter in some areas. The Samarinda-Bontang main road has been cut off due to rising water levels, while continuous heavy rainfall has triggered landslides in Sidodamai Village. BPBD Head Suwarso stated that 16 inflatable boats have been deployed to evacuate residents in affected areas. These boats are provided by the Fire Department, the Indonesian National Army (TNI), the National Police, and various volunteer groups. “We have deployed 16 units in collaboration with volunteers, the Fire Department, and BPBD teams from both the city and provincial levels, with additional boats arriving as well,” Suwarso said. Failu, Head of the Fire and Rescue Department of East Kutai, urged residents to remain vigilant, as crocodiles and snakes often emerge during floods. “We are on high alert because all river streams in this region have the potential to be crocodile habitats. If there are reports from the community, we respond immediately,” he said in Sangatta on Thursday. East Kutai is home to large rivers that serve as natural crocodile habitats. Even before the floods, authorities frequently removed crocodiles from residential areas. The rising water levels in the Sangatta River have led to more frequent crocodile sightings in populated areas. "So far, there have been no reports of attacks, and the situation remains safe. However, we must remain cautious because crocodiles can appear at any time. We are actively monitoring the situation and setting up traps if necessary,” Failu added. In Kutai Kartanegara Regency, flooding has impacted two subdistricts: Loa Duri in Loa Janan Subdistrict and Central Tengah in Marang Kayu Subdistrict. Abdal, Head of the Logistics and Disaster Management Division of the Kutai Kartanegara Disaster Mitigation Agency, reported that authorities are closely monitoring the flood situation. In Loa Duri Ilir village, floodwaters have reached 25 centimeters, while in Central Santan, hundreds of homes across 11 neighborhood units have been submerged. Saiful, Secretary of Central Santan Village, stated that flooding has persisted for over a week, increasing concerns among residents over crocodile sightings in residential areas. “We have advised residents to stay indoors, especially at night, as crocodiles have been appearing in the settlements,” Saiful said. East Kutai and parts of Kutai Kartanegara are known crocodile habitats, home to both estuarine and protected species. Some crocodiles in the region grow up to 3 meters long, and conflicts between humans and crocodiles frequently occur due to shrinking natural habitats. During the current floods, crocodile sightings have become increasingly frequent, with several encounters going viral on social media. 11 Apr 2025 12:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Borneo Samarinda vs Persib Bandung on Fri Predicted lineups are available for the match a few days in advance while the actual lineup will be available about an hour ahead of the match The current head to head record for the teams are Borneo Samarinda 2 win(s) Have scored 11 goals in their last 5 matches 11 Apr 2025 12:00:00 GMT?Borneo Samarinda vs Persib Bandung on Fri 11 Apr 2025 12:00:00 GMT ended in a 2–2 tie.InsightsHave scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches Borneo Samarinda is playing home against Persib Bandung at Segiri Stadium on Fri Samarinda. The East Kalimantan government has turned a former mining area in the provincial capital Samarinda into agricultural land for rice cultivation. Acting Governor Akmal Malik said this initiative supports food self-sufficiency and the free nutritious meals program introduced by President Prabowo Subianto. “Rice planting on former mining land is more productive compared to conventional paddy fields,” Akmal said on Thursday. Akmal explained that the rice harvested on former mining land will increase the amount of paddy output. From this planting, the provincial government is optimistic that they will achieve rice harvests of up to four tons per hectare. “The harvest from rice planting on former mining land can produce much more paddy compared to yields from typical rice fields,” he said. Akmal further elaborated that the total area of former mining land in East Kalimantan is estimated to exceed 200,000 hectares. If half of this land is converted and cultivated for agriculture, East Kalimantan is expected to achieve food self-sufficiency by 2026. “Imagine there are 200,000 hectares [of ex-mining lands] and if we use half of them for rice planting, we will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in food,” he said. Samarinda. Researchers from Mulawarman University in Samarinda and the Indonesian Nature Conservation Foundation (YKAN) announced on Sunday that they have discovered a native plant with significant potential to treat cancer and diabetes. The plant, known scientifically as Macaranga conifera and locally referred to as Sange-sange or Sepu, grows abundantly in tropical forests. In addition to its high antioxidant content, it is believed to help fight cancer cells and could potentially serve as a cure for diabetes. Macaranga conifera is one of several plant species consumed by orangutans. The research team identified its medical potential during a broader study into the various types of plants that orangutans eat. “We were initially interested in hundreds of orangutan food sources, looking at whether they offer extra nutrition or have medicinal value. Orangutans and humans share many similarities, so we analyzed the compounds in the plants they consume,” said Irawan Wijaya Kusuma, Dean of the Faculty of Forestry at Mulawarman University and a member of the research team. “From the 60 plant samples, we looked for compounds resembling those found in medicines already on the market. We found that Macaranga conifera has very high antioxidant properties,” Irawan noted. The study, conducted in partnership with a laboratory at Kyushu University in Japan, involved testing extracts of Macaranga conifera on five types of cancer cells: liver (HepG2), colon (HCT-116), neuroblastoma (SY-Sy5y), breast (MCF-7), and cervical (HeLa). Irawan highlighted that these findings represent an exciting development in medical science, potentially paving the way for new drug discoveries. However, additional studies and regulatory oversight by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) are required before Macaranga conifera can be developed into safe and effective medicines or herbal products. Arif Rifki, an endangered species conservation specialist at YKAN, noted that Macaranga conifera is a pioneer plant typically found along riverbanks or in recently deforested regions. “Because it grows in abundance, humans don’t need to compete with orangutans for Macaranga conifera,” he said. “It is produced naturally in open or stressed environments, so it’s both easy to find and does not interfere with orangutan feeding needs.” 10 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Malut United won 3–0 over Borneo Samarinda on Mon The current head to head record for the teams are Malut United 0 win(s) Have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches 10 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT?Malut United won 3–0 over Borneo Samarinda on Mon 10 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 5 goals in their last 5 matches Malut United is playing home against Borneo Samarinda at Gelora Kie Raha on Mon 28 Jan 2025 12:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Bali United FC won 3–2 over Borneo Samarinda on Tue The current head to head record for the teams are Bali United FC 3 win(s) Have scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches 28 Jan 2025 12:00:00 GMT?Bali United FC won 3–2 over Borneo Samarinda on Tue 28 Jan 2025 12:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches Bali United FC is playing home against Borneo Samarinda at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium on Tue OneFootball's home page Search Settings Sign In Sign InJoinBorneo FC Samarinda Gandeng Specs Untuk Apparel Musim 2024/2025 | OneFootballBorneo FC Borneo FC Samarinda dengan bangga mengumumkan bahwa telah tercapai kesepakatan kerja sama berdurasi 1 musim dengan perusahaan apparel asal Indonesia; SPECS SPECS akan menjadi penyedia apparel resmi Pesut Etam, mulai dari jersey, kaos kaki, kostum latihan, hingga produk marchendise lainnya.

Indonesia — Major flooding from just a few hours of heavy rain in Samarinda has underscored the severity of the environmental degradation being carried out by the industry both times a result of heavy rainfall washing into the Mahakam River unchecked from deforested mining concessions upstream “The main cause of flood is coal mines,” said Muriono an official from the disaster mitigation agency “There are many mining pits that are left unmonitored and even abandoned The result is the destruction of the environment because the ecology is disturbed and not rehabilitated.” says there are more than 10 mining companies operating just upstream of Samarinda which sits at the mouth of the Mahakam River Their activities have turned the once forested landscape of the upstream area into a barren wasteland dotted with abandoned mining pits and as a result the upstream area can no longer absorb large volumes of rainfall “Samarinda is an area that receives rainwater runoff from other areas such as Kutai Kartanegara district” further inland said Pradarma Rupang from the East Kalimantan chapter of Jatam “Water from both illegal and legal mining concessions around Samarinda’s borders will end up in Samarinda.” The mining companies have been getting away with razing the forests for years because the local government turned a blind eye to their activities “It’s an old song that keeps repeating,” he said “Flooding is an old problem and the cause has been mentioned but there’s no effort to improve [the situation] by the Samarinda municipal government.” The mines have also undermined the capacity of another river in the area Wahyu Widhi Heranata, the head of the East Kalimantan mining agency, said these companies had left behind at least four mining pits the runoff carries mud from these sites and into the river exacerbated by the deforestation that means there’s no vegetation to stop the topsoil from also washing away rendering them shallower and reducing their capacity to absorb large volumes of water The dam’s reservoir today has a capacity of just 500,000 cubic meters (132 million gallons) or just over a third of its designed capacity of 1.4 million m3 (370 million gal.) “Samarinda no longer has a water catchment area,” Pradarma said “The capacity of the Benanga dam and the Karang Mumus River that’s meant to [contain runoff] doesn’t function well.” said the problem was exacerbated by the proliferation of settlements along the banks of the Karang Mumus as well as the indiscriminate dumping of trash into the river Nearly 45% of the streams and other waterways passing through Samarinda have disappeared according to the city’s public works agency “We can see now that the Karang Mumus River has already narrowed,” Hendra said “There’s a lot of trash and the catchment soil doesn’t function because it has turned into settlements.” He said both the Karang Mumus River and the Benanga dam had to be dredged to boost their capacity to collect and store runoff water “Samarinda citizens [also] have to be aware to not throw their trash [in the river],” he said then Samarinda will slowly be free from floods.” This story was first reported by Mongabay’s Indonesia team and published here on our Indonesian site on Jan FEEDBACK: Use this form to send a message to the author of this post The “fortress conservation” model is under pressure in East Africa as protected areas become battlegrounds over history and global efforts to halt biodiversity loss Mongabay’s Special Issue goes beyond the region’s world-renowned safaris to examine how rural communities and governments are reckoning with conservation’s colonial origins and trying to forge a path forward […] The dates displayed for an article provide information on when various publication milestones were reached at the journal that has published the article activities on preceding journals at which the article was previously under consideration are not shown (for instance submission All content on this site: Copyright © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

Between 300 and 400 houses have been affected, with the 712 families displaced, Nanang said at the scene, as reported by local news agency Koran Kaltim. A small mosque and a local kindergarten were also destroyed, he added. Residents have been temporarily evacuated to the nearby Darrul Nikmah mosque and Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School, he said. The fire was extinguished by 11:30 p.m. after 29 fire trucks attended. Exact losses remain unclear.

Riyadi aged 15 – were found drowned in an abandoned mining pit in Kutai Kartanegara The teenagers’ deaths bring to 22 the number of children that have drowned in unused water-filled mining holes in East Kalimantan since 2011 was found drowned in a soccer field-sized mine pit on the outskirts of Samarinda Aprilia was reportedly playing with friends on her way home from school when she fell into the unmarked pit One hundred-and-fifty such pits scar Samarinda’s landscape with an estimated 500 in total across East Kalimantan according to the regional branch of the Network for Mining Advocacy (JATAM) JATAM recently released a confronting YouTube film with interviews of the families who have lost children to mining pits particularly the 2009 Minerals and Coal Mining Law gave district and municipal administrations the authority to issue mining permits nearly 50 per cent of the province is now covered in coal mining permits threatening agricultural land and conservation areas New powers for allowing district governments to issue permits did not correspond with an increase in budget or capacity for local management and monitoring of mining operations or clean-up activities Decentralisation and the global mining boom brought chaos to the industry In many places multiple permits have been issued for the same land area permits have been allocated illegally in conservation and protected forests and along water catchment areas and there has been a huge loss of state revenue – official estimates suggest that up to half of Indonesia’s mining companies pay no royalties and are not registered to pay tax A recent investigation by Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission identified losses of almost US$1.24 billion in public revenue across Indonesia’s mining sector Of a total of 10,827 mining permits issued across the country 4563 were found to not meet ‘clean and clear’ standards which include having a detailed environmental impact assessment and a post-mining reclamation and rehabilitation plan.The proliferation of mining permits has had a damaging impact on people and the environment where mining consumes 70 per cent of the municipality’s land area Some mines are located within metres of homes and schools While the industry brought employment and investment it has also been the source of much angst –landslides and flooding worsened as a result of mining expansion in Samarinda according to JATAM’s research with the World Wildlife Fund estimating the cost of the resulting damage at around $9 million Acids and sulphates from mining have leeched into rivers fish ponds and wet rice fields according to local farmers in and around Samarinda who have experienced dramatic reductions in yields as a result many small and medium-sized mines have closed or remain inactive But they continue to pose a serious threat to residents The blue-green colour of the water-filled mine pits lures young people to them who then misjudge the depth of the pits and the steep sides that make them difficult to escape Greenpeace researcher Cut Hilda Meutia found that the pits contained high levels of chemicals As the impact of ingesting or absorbing these chemicals is not immediate Civil society organisations (CSOs) have worked hard to push local administrations to clean up abandoned sites CSOs have advocated for improved management of mining in East Kalimantan home to 28 per cent of Indonesia’s coal reserves after 11 people had drowned in disused mining pits in East Kalimantan A case was submitted to the Samarinda High Court on 25 June 2013 beginning a year-long trial known as the Gerakan Samarinda Menggugat (Samarinda Citizen Lawsuit Nineteen plaintiffs impacted by coal mining presented at the trial including rice farmers and fishermen who claimed that their diminishing water supplies were increasingly acidic due to dust particles released by mining operations finding that the government had been negligent in fulfilling their obligations under the 2009 Environmental Law ‘Everyone shall be entitled to a proper and healthy environment as part of their human rights’ the local government had denied the people of Samarinda their right to enjoy a clean and safe environment The court also ordered the government to evaluate all coal mining permits in Samarinda monitor reclamation and other post-mining efforts and take action to protect community farming and fishing areas from contamination by coal mining activities and children continue to drown in exposed coal mining pits in Samarinda and in the neighbouring district of Kutai Kartenegara NGOs believe one of the reasons for the sluggish response could be the recent reforms that have shifted authority over mining permits 23/2014) introduced in October 2014 moves authority for coal and mineral mining (as well as forestry and fisheries) from district governments to provincial governments and the central government which should be completed by 2 October 2016 provincial governments will be responsible for issuing permits and also for evaluating the status of problematic mining permits in their jurisdictions Governors must report the results to the central government which will decide whether to maintain or cancel the permits lawyer and researcher at Samarinda-based NGO Prakarsa Borneo explains that post-mining clean-up and pit closure is the responsibility of companies District governments – until the introduction of the new law – were tasked with enforcing and overseeing this process Yet despite the real dangers of leaving mine sites exposed companies often evade their reclamation responsibilities Laws require that companies set aside funds for reclamation activities before conducting extraction work but in practice these obligations are often not met ‘There are many companies that do not put aside reclamation funds so the government doesn’t have the resources it needs to close mine sites,’ says Muhdar Frustrated with government inaction and excuses CSOs have tried to find creative responses to the problem ‘The government always gives the excuse that there is not enough funding for closing mines’ says Merah Johansyah of East Kalimantan JATAM NGO activists have held actions following children’s deaths in local mining pits asking fellow Indonesians to donate Rp.1000 to crowd-fund mine closures So they won’t have any further excuses for inaction.’ East Kalimantan governor Awang Faroek Ishak has indicated his willingness to reform mining governance Awang has a chequered past when it comes to the mining industry During his time as district head of East Kutai Awang was named by the Attorney General’s Office for embezzling state funds resulting from the sale of a portion of coal company PT Kaltim Prima Coal But his recent attention to the industry’s problems is welcome In 2013 Awang issued a provincial moratorium on new concessions for mining Awang has issued a statement saying that those companies on whose concessions mining-pit deaths have occurred must submit a mine closure plan and report on reparations paid to victims Perhaps the most important reform has been the passing of a provincial regulation in 2015 enacting a supervisory commission The commission will consist of government and civil society representatives tasked with overseeing mining reclamation and clean-up efforts an important development that will introduce transparency and participation in the mining clean-up process ensuring that pits are closed safely and in accordance with environmental standards An important step for improving mining governance in Indonesia will be ensuring that the shift in authority for mining permits from district to provincial governments does not slow down reforms In the end it is the central government that should ensure there is no confusion over the division of responsibilities between the districts and the provinces when the bodies of teenagers Noval and Diki were found in mining pits In response Jokowi has issued an audit of all mining permits issued in East Kalimantan ‘I order the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to control and check mining [operations] especially small mining sites that don’t prioritise work safety,’ Jokowi told media in Balikpapan and there is now an opportunity to tighten controls and mitigate further losses to human life and to the ecosystems on which life is sustained Jokowi needs to ensure that his demand for an audit of the mining sector results in real improvements in

Four people were injured when a Molotov cocktail exploded in front of a church in Samarinda district, East Kalimantan, on Sunday morning (13/11). "It is true. Four people were injured, including a toddler," East Kalimantan Police chief Insp. Gen. Safaruddin told news portal Detik.com. The incident occurred at around 10.30 a.m. local time during Sunday Mass at the Ecumenical Christian Church located in Jalan Cipto Mangunkkusumo in Loa Janan Ilir village, Samarinda Seberang subdistrict. Four motorcycles were also damaged in the attack. The four victims were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. "The alleged suspect has been arrested," Safaruddin said. The alleged attacker, who was only identified by the initial J., is a 33-year-old resident of Bogor, West Java. He reportedly wore a black shirt featuring the word "Jihad" when police arrested him. Jakarta. President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo gave his permission to continue the Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road project to Bontang, another city in East Kalimantan, as part of the efforts to improve connectivity in the country which in turn will reduce logistics costs and food prices. "I've talked about this matter with the Public Works and Housing Minister last night," the president said in Balikpapan on Monday (05/12). "That's not a problem. So, Balikpapan to Bontang it is." The president's permission came after East Kalimantan Governor Awang Farouk asked to extend the project to Bontang, about 116 kilometers northeast from Samarinda. The toll road connecting Balikpapan and Samarinda, the capital city of East Kalimantan province, is initially designed to span across 99-kilometer near the coastal line of Kalimantan island, cutting travel time to an hour from up to three hours previously. The project, which begun in 2010 but was postponed until 2015 due to land acquisition issues, has five parts; one will be fully funded by the state and district coffers, another will be funded through a loan program from China and three other parts are tendered to the private sector. Jokowi still expects the Balikpapan-Samarinda original project to be completed at the end of 2018, ahead of the initial target of May 2019. The president has allowed three existing consortium — which includes the consortium of state-control toll road operator Jasa Marga, state construction Wijaya Karya, Pembangunan Perumahan and Bangun Tjipta Sarana; consortium Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada, Kaltim Bina Sarana Konstruksi, Brantas Abipraya, Istaka Karya; and consortium Naza Engineering & Construction, Daya Mulia Turangga — to chip into the extension project. Flooding struck in areas of the city of Samarinda from around 22 May after a period of heavy rain Officials said areas close to the Karang Mumus River were badly affected Samarinda disaster management (BPBD) said on 25 May that flooding has reached 30,894 inhabitants across 4 sub-districts in 14 urban villages in Samarinda City North Samarinda district is among the worst hit areas where as many 1,671 houses have been inundated The city recently experienced severe flooding in January this year, and also in June last year when over 35,000 people were affected Meanwhile in neighbouring province of South Kalimantan 190 homes were damaged and 585 people affected by floods in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency on 22 May A period of heavy rain in a prolonged rainy season has caused flooding in numerous parts of the country over recent days flooding began on 18 May after several rivers broke their banks in Bogor Regency Parung Panjang and in particular Gunung Putri districts affecting 245 people and damaging 49 houses after the Kelingi river broke its banks on 20 May Indonesia’s National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) reports that 2 people died 9 were injured and 233 houses damaged after a tornado hit Tulang Bawang Regency in Lampung Flooding was also reported in South and West Sulawesi provinces from 22 May Also on 22 May heavy rain and the overflowing Motadolek river caused flooding in Malacca Regency Around 376 homes were damaged and 1,380 people affected Samarinda. Police have designated the owner of a pet tiger as a suspect after the carnivore fatally attacked his assistant in the East Kalimantan capital, Samarinda. The suspect faces charges of illegal possession of an endangered animal and negligence that resulted in the death of his domestic assistant, said Comr. Rengga Puspo Saputro, head of the Samarinda Metropolitan Police's criminal investigation unit. "The legal proceedings are underway and the tiger owner has been named a suspect in the investigation," Rengga told reporters in Samarinda on Sunday. The decision to pursue a criminal investigation emerged after police questioned five witnesses at the scene located on Jalan Wahid Hasyim 2, North Samarinda District, he said. Allegedly caring for the tiger since its cub days approximately three years ago, the suspect reportedly lacked the necessary permit for owning the animal, the officer added. The offense carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison. Suprianda, 27, the domestic worker, suffered fatal injuries from the tiger attack on Saturday, although the exact sequence of events remains unclear. The worker was found deceased with severe injuries near the tiger's enclosure. Promptly responding to the scene, the police initiated an investigation and arrested the employer. Hanifah, a relative of the deceased, revealed that Suprianda had previously expressed dissatisfaction with his work conditions. Suprianda had informed family members of his intention to resign, especially after being tasked with the responsibility of feeding the tiger. "Suprianda had mentioned the tiger's aggressive behavior and disclosed injuries from scratches and bites," Hanifah said. 25 Apr 2025 08:30:00

Samarinda City,” said Borneo FC President Nabil Husien Said Amin Sailing upstream from the provincial capital of Samarinda to Kutai Kartanegara rivers are just like busy highways in the more developed Java staggering coal-laden bulk carriers looked like clusters of floating hills from afar vessels carrying mostly timber are headed for sawmills dotting the 980-km long river Locals and researchers fondly remember sighting groups of dolphins along the Mahakam River from the upstream Kutai region down to the estuary in Samarinda it is teeming with vessels of all sizes that environmentalists partly blame for the dwindling population of the treasured river dolphins a senior researcher and scientific advisor with RASI said the heavy presence of vessels and the noise they make has greatly contributed to the endangerment of the rare species “They don’t rise up as often as they used to; they have experienced a change in diving pattern.” Research shows that the animals have gone through behavioral changes because of the noise pollution and deteriorating water quality due to the dust and debris from the passing vessels Untreated waste from industrial activities along the Mahakam and its numerous water sources has exacerbated the predicament The busy traffic not only causes stress to aquatic life but also damages the river’s ecosystem especially in narrow creeks where fish spawn The prolonged stress reduces the animals’ immunity and contributes to ailments and premature deliveries changes in migration patterns and avoidance of excessively busy spots like tributaries The latter results in fiercer competition for space and food the dolphins are at risk of being struck by speedboats as excessive noise confuses their sonar system The underwater noise pollution from the busy river traffic is worst at confluences One of the most affected is the Kedang Kepala tributary in Kutai Kartanegara which is known as one of the few remaining Mahakam dolphin habitats the researchers focused on several important spots dolphins were sighted in various spots along the way Kreb noted that the number of Mahakam dolphins in the Kedang Kepala River had dropped by 50 percent since pontoons began “invading” the area two years ago The river has sustained damage to its banks because it is too narrow for large vessels to make L- or U-turns She expressed her wish that vessels be banned in the area because it has been earmarked as a priority conservation area for not only water but also wasteland ecosystems “Residents have told me that the Mahakam’s current used to be stronger This means the water quality has deteriorated The loss of vegetation at the riverside has deprived small fish of spawning grounds All this has happened over the past two years since the strong presence of vessels began in the area,” Kreb said A study the RASI conducted at the Siran estuary and Kedang Kepala River from November 2015 to December 2017 shows that the level of underwater noise from passing vessels ranges from 87 to 93 decibels any underwater noise above 80 decibels can disable dolphins’ sonar system such that the mammals will lose their sense of orientation They may lose the ability to measure their distance from objects like passing vessels Various studies show that water traffic greatly interferes with dolphins’ daily activity and with their ability to depend on an eco-location signal to determine the bearing and location of other group members Sustained excessive noise pollution is also bad for the mammals’ digestive and reproductive systems The Mahakam dolphin is widely thought to be of the same species as the Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) found in coastal areas in South and Southeast Asia and in three rivers: the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar Kreb — who has researched the Kalimantan dolphins locally known as pesut Mahakam for about 20 years — begs to differ DNA analysis showed that the pesut was a totally different species proposing that it be scientifically identified as Orcaella mahakamensis instead the pesut DNA is currently being analysed in collaboration with the International Biodiversity Research Center in Bali and the University of Atmajaya in Yogyakarta It lives in freshwater and has completely adapted to and evolved in freshwater bone structure and DNA […] all of which make the Mahakam dolphin more valuable [than the Irrawaddy]; and it really is on the brink of extinction,” said Kreb East Kalimantan is an industrial and resource-rich region where 147 major companies operate mostly in the Kutai Kartanegara regency that accounts for much of the Mahakam dolphin territory PT Bara Tambang and Fajar Sakti Prima of the Bayan Group operate vessels on the Kedang Kepala River since 2015 which also runs a jetty in the Belayan River It looks as though the disruption will only worsen a senior official with the East Kalimantan Energy and Mineral Resources Agency told The Jakarta Post that Fajar Sakti Prima is presently building a 90-km coal-hauling path traversing the regencies of Kutai Kartanegara and West Kutai Fajar Sakti Prima had its license revoked for flouting environmental laws in 2015 but it has been reinstated by the provincial administration That was after the company had convinced the local government it would comply with regulations and help protect the Kedang Kepala River The minimum interval between coal pontoons traveling on the river is set at 30 minutes and a maximum speed of 8 knots there is no guarantee they are enforceable the local administration is short of funding and human resources to oversee 10 townships and regencies Locals say the sighting of pesut near residential areas anywhere along the Mahakam is increasingly rare in recent years oil palm plantations and logging are blamed for the environmental degradation in general and the disappearance of the dolphins in particular the Mahakam has been used for years to store logs before they are transported to saw mills the RASI has recorded 32 dolphin deaths; three of those happened last year The most common causes of death are unintended entrapment in gill nets and poisoning knowing the animals are rare and legally protected Besides health problems presumably caused by excessive noise pollution other major causes of Mahakam dolphin fatalities that researchers have identified include gill nets poisoning from domestic waste and coal mining The Mahakam dolphin’s lifespan is estimated at 30 to 40 years The age of sexual maturity varies depending on gender Males become sexually mature at 10-15 years of age and females at 5-13 years a female dolphin can give birth approximately 10 times It will take a concerted effort between the government businesses and local residents to save the Mahakam dolphin The latest scheme to develop ecotourism in river spots with dolphins as the main attraction is expected to support that endeavor Traveling on the huge slow-flowing Mahakam River on a ces or ketinting (small motorized wooden boat) is both a fun and adventurous activity The treacherous waves are so close to your side that sudden splashes occasionally hit your hands and face the 980 kilometer river boasts exotic flora and fauna that wildlife buffs should not miss I was so lucky that my group sighted pods of pesut We saw the smart animals swim around while feeding and playing In the lush green panoramic tropical rain forest nearby proboscis monkeys leap from one tree to another Thriving ecotourism has given rise to sightseeing tours in local towns and villages Travel agents offer packages that include pesut watching One of the tour groups is called Save Pesut Mahakam Trips are even more enjoyable with the availability of floating eateries in addition to the more conventional inland food stalls Tour guides are well-versed about local species and places to find them in the wild They are the right people to show you spots where dolphins usually assemble The ecotourism destination has attracted people far and wide The dolphins have their own spots to feed and play Among the best-known are tributaries and lakes between Muara Kaman and Melak — the mammal’s main habitat There lie four major tributaries where the animals are often sighted: Pela You can stay on a floating guesthouse from where you can see them move about especially in the early morning and afternoon Another place to watch dolphins is the confluence of Muara Kaman village in Kutai Kartanegara where they appear while you enjoy lunch at an unpretentious restaurant Muara Kaman and Sangkuliman are known as a route of the pesut migration Regarded as the most valuable conservation areas are the Pela where visitors can find endangered species such as proboscis monkeys The Pela River connects three major lakes: Semayang which are the dolphins’ favorite socializing and feeding sites senior researcher and scientific advisor with the Rare Aquatic Species of Indonesia The Jempang Lake is the most happening with the bustling fishing communities the main tourist attraction is the cultural village of Tanjung Isuy live in longhouses that are available as tourist accommodation The village is also famous for its handicrafts A great thing about the local tradition is that locals do not hunt dolphins The animal is highly treasured as the province’s icon Their high regard is embodied in folklore which says that the animals are the reincarnation of humans and therefore killing or trading them is taboo says he believes in the folklore after personally seeing dolphins beached at a riverbank “Their bodies looked like a human’s,” he said “The female’s body very much resembled a women’s body.” 5/1990 on conservation of biodiversity and the ecosystem Kalimantan has long been regarded as a

(in the province of East Kalimantan) will be extended to include the city of Bontang During a visit to Balikpapan at the start of the week Indonesian President Joko Widodo confirmed the extension plan It implies that the project will more than double in length The distance between Balikpapan and Samarinda is around 99 kilometers from Samarinda further northeastwards to Bontang stretches across 116 kilometers The Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road is one of Indonesia's toll road projects designed to boost intra-island connectivity hence curtailing the country's high logistics costs improve the competitiveness of domestic businesses and make the investment climate more attractive In the period 2015-2019 the Indonesian government targets to build 1,000 kilometers of road approximately doubling the length of the nation's existing toll roads This is a very ambitious target that may not be achieved due to Indonesia's notorious land acquisition problems The Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road is one of the many infrastructure projects in Indonesia that had to be delayed due to these land acquisition problems construction of this toll road commenced in 2010 construction was halted for a period of five years as developers failed to purchase all required land After being inaugurated as Indonesia's seventh president in 2014 Widodo's push for infrastructure development is what gave new life to this project in 2015 although not all required land has been acquired yet the government is optimistic that the nearly USD $1 billion project (the route Balikpapan-Samarinda) can be completed by 2018 and will cut travel time between both cities to about one hour (from nearly three hours currently) The request to add Bontang to the Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road stemmed from East Kalimantan Governor Awang Farouk Although we did not obtain information about the amount of additional costs that are required to establish the Samarinda-Bontang road the whole project is estimated to cost USD $2 billion considering the length of the toll road will more than double compared to the initial plan The Balikpapan-Samarinda part is divided in five sections Construction of one of these sections will be fully funded by the central government's state budget (APBN) and the regional state budget (APBN-D) Another section will be financed through a loan from China The remaining three sections are tendered to the private sector and (3) the consortium of Naza Engineering & Construction Silakan login atau berlangganan untuk mengomentari kolom ini Above image is used for illustration purposes only
