Hundreds of students from the UGM Faculty of Forestry (Forestry UGM)
members of the Forest Cultivation Student Association (Himaba)
have carried out the Forester in Action (FIA) initiative by planting over 2,500 tree saplings in Tanggulangin
The saplings include 2,000 mangrove plants and 500 casuarina plants to prevent coastal abrasion and erosion
mentioned that this tree planting activity is part of Himaba’s community service initiatives
“The planting of mangroves and casuarinas is the main activity in Forester in Action
The selection of casuarina trees this time was requested by the local community
and fishermen,” Putra said in a statement to reporters on Monday (Jun 10)
the students had been growing casuarina saplings since December 2023
The seeds used were collected from Mliwis Beach
with the students setting up seedbeds using mud from Baros Beach and fish ponds
“We did this to match the growing environment to their natural habitat so that the mangroves could grow well and uniformly,” he said
they were nurtured in nurseries until they were suitable for the field
The casuarina saplings underwent selection to ensure straight growth and to avoid ball root issues
which helped ensure their survival when planted in the field
students and the community collaborated to move the saplings and mark the planting blocks
“The moving of saplings was assisted by the mangrove conservation group and the fishermen’s group from Tanggulangin Village,” he added
a supervising lecturer from the Faculty of Forestry
explained that tree planting encourages students to apply silviculture knowledge to sustain coastal ecosystems
and maintain overall ecosystem functions for long-term human and environmental benefits
students also held a dialogue session to discuss potential developments in Tanggulangin Village to boost the village’s economy
This dialogue was attended by the Klirong district head

"The floods that inundated these four villages were not only triggered by weather factors
"The condition is made worse by the phenomenon of land subsidence that is occurring in the area," said Sidoarjo Regent Ahmad Muhdlor Ali
A junior high school student from SMPN 2 Tanggulangin
walked on a pile of sandbags because their school was flooded on Tuesday
Muhdlor added that the handling of residents affected by disasters is currently a priority for the local government
That is why they have provided refuge for residents and prepared supporting facilities such as the provision of clean water and fulfilling the needs of ready-to-eat meals
Several agencies have also been deployed to the field
and Public Works and Natural Resources Department
Everyone is working together to handle the floods
such as operating pump machines to suck up puddles of water
setting up emergency disaster response posts
and checking the health of affected residents
The flooding that inundated four villages was not only caused by weather factors
The situation was exacerbated by the phenomenon of land subsidence that occurred in the area
the pump machines are continuously optimized
the disposal of water is difficult to do because the river condition is also full and the water does not flow
the land surface has become a basin due to land subsidence phenomena
said that they are still continuing to collect data on the number of flood victims in four villages
aid distribution is being carried out to alleviate the burden of the residents and their families

Sidoarjo - Oil and gas exploration company
is planning to start another exploration activity at Tanggulangin 1 Well in Tanggulangin-Sidoarjo
East Java; no far from the center of the Lapindo Mud Volcano disaster in Porong
"We plan to begin the exploration in March 2016," said Lapindo Brantas' Public Relations Manager
Arief explained that the drilling should have been commenced in December 2015
but the plan was postponed as there was social backlash that had yet to be resolved
since many local residents feared the Lapindo Mud Volcano disaster to reappear at the site
Lapindo Brantas plans to proceed despite the rejection from local communities
The company has begun to excavate and compress the soil around the site as the initial steps of the drill site preparation (DSP)
"We have embarked on extensive socialization to local communities
with the support of security officials - but local residents continued to oppose our plan," said Arief
"Hopefully the tide will turn as discussions continue on Wednesday
security officials have been asked to secure the perimeter of the site."
Arief continued that technically-speaking
the drilling won't cause any geological disturbances - in fact
the company has acquired the permit to proceed with the planned drilling from Sidoarjo's Environmental Agency
which was signed by Sidoarjo's former Regent
"The Agency has reviewed and certified our proposal - including all technical specifications
before adding that the drilling needs to continue as the government - through the Upstream Oil and Gas Special Taskforce (SKK Migas) - has asked companies to increase production output
in order to meet the demands of gas in East Java and its surroundings
Tanggulangin 1 Well is expected to be able to churn out 5 million cubic meters of gas per day
Combined with some other 30 wells currently running across the area
the well is expected to bring the total output to 8 million cubic meters of gas per day
"Prior to the Lapindo Mud Volcano disaster
we were able to produce about 80 million cubic meters of gas per day," said Arief
It must be noted that the company - whose shares are partially owned by Bakrie Group - is affiliated with Lapindo Minarak Jaya
who has been appointed to disburse payouts to those who were affected by the Lapindo Mud Volcano disaster
Minarak Lapindo Jaya has yet to disburse compensation payouts to 86 families out of the total of 3.331 victims of the disastrous exploratory activity

Jakarta - Two train accidents occurred in Indonesia within the first two weeks of 2024
The latest one was the derailment of the Pandalungan (75A) Train serving the Gambir - Surabaya - Jember route at the Tanggulangin Station area
a spokesperson for state-owned rail operator PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI)
said there were no fatalities or injuries in the incident
this series of incidents is likely to raise public concerns about their safety when using public transportation.
a transportation professor at the University of Indonesia’s (UI) Faculty of Engineering
assessed that the train derailment could be related to problems with the rail structure
“This [incident] could be different from what happened in Cicalengka
which was more about the system or perhaps human error,” Sutanto told Tempo on Sunday
could damage the soil that supports the tracks
and PT KAI needs to take preventive and maintenance measures for this
Although passengers may be more vigilant and concerned about train services
the incident would not significantly affect the number of passengers
are more concerned about fare affordability
such as a collision between trains or a derailment that causes many fatalities
will have a greater impact on public trust
he hoped that PT KAI would be more anticipatory and proactive in maintaining and monitoring rail infrastructure
Sutanto also highlighted the need for transparency from the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) in investigating the incidents for the public to assess PT KAI's safe services
