An easily accessible beach can be found in the northeast of Bangka, 48 km from Pangkal Pinang and 12 km from Sungai Liat.

Sentani Lake

The lake is divisible into three main sectors with maximum recorded depths of 7 to 52 meters. Average annual rainfall around the lake is about 2 meters and lake level fluctuates about 0.4 m with seasonal variation in inflow. The lake is widely believed to have evolved by the tectonic damming and uplift of an arm of the sea, but such a connection has not been demonstrated.

 

Lake Sentani, near Jayapura at the northeastern extremity of Papua, lies at an elevation of 73 m in a fault-controlled depression mainly in Mesozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Cyclops Ophiolite Belt. It is bounded by the Cyclops Mountains block to the north and the lower-standing terrain of the New Guinea fold thrust belt to the south. An irregularly shaped body with approximate maximum dimensions of 28 km (E-W) by 19 km (N-S) and a surface area of 10,400 ha, Lake Sentani is by far the largest of the Papua lakes. It is fed by a catchment area of about 600 km2 and has one outlet only, via the Jafuri and Tami rivers to the Pacific Ocean near the Papua New Guinea border.

 

The most recent survey (Renyaan, 1993) recorded 33 species of fish, of which 12 are indigenous, 8 anadromous and 13 introduced. Surveys over a 1 year period have shown an increase in introduced species but the impact on the total fish population has not been documented. Sawfish (Pristis microdon) up to 3 m or more were well known in the lake until the Seventies and are a common motif in traditional Sentani art, but appear to have become extinct. Fish are extensively raised in ponds and cages around the perimeter of the lake and the introduction of species (particularly carp and tilapia) has been both accidental and intentional.

 

  Because of its proximity to the provincial capital and the large population around it, Sentani is the best studied of Papua lakes. According to surveys in 1970-71, 1984 and 1987 the lake is thermally unstratified, with temperatures of 29-32 C in the top 10 m. Surface pH is 6.2-6.8 and, on the basis of turbidity, plankton levels are low at 1-2 mg/L except in the westernmost basin, where circulation is limited, turbidity is doubled and seasonal algal blooms, with resultant fish mortality, have been reported.

Preliminary bottom sediment samples from the eastern part of the lake have recently yielded sparse populations of arcellacean microfauna, dominated by Centropyxid types. In North America these species are found associated with brackish or polluted water conditions, raising the possibility that there is residual salinity in the deeper parts of the lake. Many of the Sentani people, who inhabit the islands, perimeter and environs of the lake, still have a traditional subsistence economy based on fishing and sago harvesting. This has been sustainable for centuries but local reports suggest that catch yields have diminished in recent years. Whether this is a result of overfishing (as a result of population growth and/or market pressure), pollution or introduction of foreign species is not established.

Many of the residents occupy dwellings built on posts over the lake, which thus serves as a depository for sewage, leading to locally high coliform counts but also to nutrient enrichment. Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), introduced since the early Seventies, has become a major plant pest and may be contributing to decline of some species. Much of the mountainous terrain between the north shore of the lake and the ocean falls within the Cyclops Strict Nature Reserve. The future management of the reserve and buffer zone, and the environmental quality of the lake, are strongly interdependent. Recently a major reforestation project of grassland on the slopes surrounding the lake has been initiated, with the support of forest companies operating in Papua.

A major sustainable development issue for the inhabitants of the lake and surroundings is the existing proposal to build a hydroelectric generating facility, by means of a dam on the Jafuri River to divert the lake drainage eastward through a canal to a power station and thence to an outlet at the sea in Yotefa Bay near Jayapura. Several feasibility and environmental impact studies have yet to totally define the cost/benefit consequences of this project.

Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat casts a spell on all who visit – scientists, photographers, novice divers and crusty sea-salts alike. This group of majestic islands, located in the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s Papuan “Bird’s Head Seascape,” lies in the heart of the coral triangle, the most bio-diverse marine region on earth.

As stunningly beautiful above water as it is below, Raja Ampat (which literally translates as “The Four Kings”) has a startling diversity of habitats to explore. Each of these – from the stark wave-pounded slopes that drop away beneath the karst cliffs of Wayag and Uranie to the deep, nutrient-rich bays of Mayalibit, Kabui and Aljui to the “blue water mangrove” channels of Kofiau and Gam to the plankton-rich upwelling areas of Misool and the Dampier Strait – are home to unique assemblages of species that, when taken together, add to produce the most impressive species lists ever compiled for a coral reef system of this size.

Marine tourism, as a sustainable alternative to overfishing, mining, and logging, has the potential to play a key role in the conservation of Raja Ampat’s spectacular underwater realm, while also creating real benefits for the local communities. This website was designed as part of a larger effort to support the growth of sustainable marine tourism in Raja Ampat and the conservation of these magical islands.

The area’s massive coral colonies show that its reefs are resistant to threats like coral bleaching and disease —threats that now jeopardize the survival of corals around the world. In addition, Raja Ampat’s strong ocean currents sweep coral larvae across the Indian and Pacific Oceans to replenish other reef ecosystems. Raja Ampat’s coral diversity, resilience to threats, and ability to replenish reefs make it a global priority for marine protection.

Survey Confirms Highest Marine Biodiversity on Earth
In 2002, The Nature Conservancy and its partners conducted a scientific survey of the Raja Ampat Islands to collect information on its marine ecosystems, mangroves, and forests. The survey brought Raja Ampat’s total number of confirmed corals to 537 species— an incredible 75% of all known coral species. In addition, 899 fish species were recorded, raising the known total for Raja Ampat to an amazing 1,074. On land, the survey found lush forests, rare plants, limestone outcroppings, and nesting beachesfor thousands of sea turtles.

Though human impacts here are less severe than elsewhere in Indonesia, Raja Ampat’s natural resources are endangered by over fishing and destructive fishing, turtle poaching, and unsustainable logging. The Indonesian government recently established Raja Ampat as a separate administrative unit, which will give communities a greater say in managing the natural resources upon which their livelihoods depend. This structure also offers an important opportunity to include conservation in the spatial planning of the newly formed local government.

Ensuring Conservation through Partnerships
To address these issues, the Conservancy launched a new project to protect Raja Ampat, working in close partnership with the government and communities to: 1) contribute to a comprehensive conservation action plan to protect Raja Ampat’s reefs and forests; 2) help incorporate marine protected area management into long-term planning and policy; and, 3) establish a network of marine protected areas for Raja Ampat.
 

The Conservancy’s ultimate goal is to protect Raja Ampat’s magnificent reefs while sustaining the livelihoods of local people. Raja Ampat includes the four large islands of Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, and Misool, plus hundreds of smaller islands. The archipelago is part of an area known as the Bird’s Head functional seascape, which also contains Cenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia.

Komodo Island

                                                                              For you who liked to go on a trip, you must be did not want to pass the tourist attraction that was impressive all over the Indonesian Archipelago corner. Adventure to the exotic islands, dive into blue  sea, and was bathed in the sunlight will make your holiday not forgotten.

You and the family did not only keep to enjoy his nature tour for a long time, but also proud of becoming part of the style of Indonesian beauty. And here, in the  National Park of the Komodo Dragon Island, East Nusa Tenggara, youwill get all of them. The island of the Komodo Dragon located on the end western of East Nusa Tenggara Province that shared a border with the West Nusa Tenggara Province. To be precise in the Komodo Dragon Subdistrict, the Regency Manggarai West, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Since 1980, the region measuring 1.817 km2 this was made the National Park by the Indonesian Government, that afterwards was acknowledged by UNESCO as the Site of the World Inheritance in 1986. With two other big islands, namely the Rinca Island and Padar, Island of the Komodo Dragon and several small islands around it continued to be maintained as the original habitat reptiles that were called by  " Komodo Dragon".  Had the latin name  Varanus Komodoensis and the local "Ora" name, the giant's lizard was according to the story published the first time during 1912 in the national Dutch East Indies daily. Peter A. Ouwens, the director of the Zoologi Museum in Bogor was the person who introduced the komodo dragon to the world through his paper . Since that, the expedition and the research into this rare species continued to be carried out, in fact it was reported could inspiring the Film of KingKong in 1933. Realised the need of the protection for the Komodo Dragon in the middle of the activity of humankind in his original habitat, during 1915 the Dutch Government dismissed the ban on the hunting and the murder of the komodo dragon.

Owing to government efforts and the local community in maintaining conservation of the National Park, tourists who come currently to be able to visit and saw from close to the life of these ancient reptiles. In a long manner the body 2-3 metre, the komodo dragon could have heavy through to 70-100 kilogram. The animal that liked this hot and dry place lived in the savannah habitat or the tropical forest in the low height. If the night arrived, the komodo dragon nested in the hole with in 1-3 metre while maintaining his body heat tonight. As carnivores that was in the peak of the chain of food, Komodo Dragon prey including the goat, deer, the wild boar, and birds. In the certain condition, the Komodo Dragon could behave the cannibal by preying on the other Komodo Dragon. By relying on the sense  to his tongue, the komodo dragon could kiss his prey carcass through to to the best of 9 kilometre. His bite that contained could and the bacteria that was deadly, was increased his front claw that was sharp was his natural weapon. Moreover, the komodo dragon evidently could run 20 kilometre per hour in the short distance, climbing the tree, swam, and dive. 

Be proper for other reptiles, the komodo dragon bred in an egg-laying manner. Nevertheless, the research proved to be received by the other method the komodo dragon carried out regeneration, that is by means of parthenogenesis. This method enabled the female komodo dragon to produce the egg without was fertilised by male. Parthenogenesis it was suspected rescued the komodo dragon from the extinction since thousands of years set. But, habitat damage, the volcanic activity, the earthquake, fire, until the unclear hunting  indicated resulted in the decline in the number of komodo dragon populations until the level being susceptible to the extinction. Estimated was gotten by 4-5 thousand komodo dragons with the productive female existence only numbering hundreds. The condition was like this was the challenge for conservation efforts of the National Park of the Komodo Dragon Island. 

Enjoyed the  National Park tour of the Komodo Dragon Island with observed the life of the komodo dragon from nearby possibly was not yet enough for you. For you that the hobby with water sport, you could try to carry out diving in north waters and south this island. North waters were warm waters results of the meeting of the flow from the Banda Sea and Flores. On the other hand, south waters offered cold waters from the Indonesian ocean flow. The combination of the two characters of these different waters produced the rich underwater ecosystem. Various sorts of the coral reef kind lived fertile and became the place of the life of however many species of the fish at the same time the provider of the system supporting the life of sea water. Many divers witnessed the underwater life of island waters of the Komodo Dragon that amazing, that kept million of potential for the biological diversity. 

As one of the Indonesian mainstay tourist attractions,  the Komodo Dragon island provided accommodation from lodgings that were established by the local community until the sub-area was of international standard. For domestic tourists, you were put on the admission ticket cost of Rp. 75,000, whereas foreign tourists as big as US$ 15. To reach the Island of the Komodo Dragon, you could go through the aircraft route from Kupang (the Nusa Tenggara capital of Timur-NTT) to the Ende city in the Flores Island. It was following that the trip was followeded by the minibus to Labuhanbajo that took up time 10 hours. From Labuhanbajo, speedboat will bring you to the Island of the Komodo Dragon after following crossing for 2 hours. Several other routes could be followed by you with the flight from Bali in accordance with the airline that served the aim to NTT.

Not only parents, even children although might not be frightened of coming and visiting there. With the regulation and the travelling security that was awakened, humankind and the Komodo Dragon could live side by side peacefully. And was proper for children, their love against the Komodo Dragon was seeds that could cultivate their love in the country wealth and his history. Apparently this message that previously in the 90 's had been brought with excelent by Kak Seto through his doll The Komo .

Mekarsari... Amazing tourism fruit park

The garden of Wisata Mekar Sari was one of the centres of conservation of the biological diversity of the biggest tropics fruit in the world, especially the superior fruit kind that was gathered from all over the area in Indonesia, at the same time being the place of the cultivation research (agronomy), breeding (breeding) and the increase in the prime seed to afterwards be spread to the farmer and the public's community. This tour garden was located in the Cileungsi Subdistrict, Kabupaten Bogor, West Java. To head towards this location could be reached by the public's transport from Jakarta, Bogor and Bekasi, the route that headed towards the Representative.

The garden measuring 264 hectare this was supplemented with tour means for Indonesian Archipelago tourists and foreign countries. The tour in the middle of the garden was supported by various vehicles that brought closer the visitor to nature, in anatara him: Family Garden, Rekreasi Danau (20 ha), Baby Zoo, Rusa Tutul, Garden Center, Greenhouse Melon, Outbound, Bunga Bangkai, Kids Fun Valley, Menara Pandang, Bangunan Air Terjun (the Tirto Sari Temple).

The activities that became the visitor's favourite in part: Company Gathering, Piknik Keluarga, Wisata Kebun Buah/Sayur, Barbeque, Senam Pagi, Fruitwalk (walked around at the orchard).

The Tour garden “ the Mekar Sari Orchard “ that was in Cileungsi, Bogor – West Java, actually not the new tourist attraction. Already more than one tourist attraction decade was there. Only unfortunately not many that knew, understand that the promotion of our tour was quite sad. Almost did not can be heard.... his echo, from time to time indeed was in promoted in private enterprise's TV but aura him continue to still was overcast. Moreover the slogan of the government that want to made this 2008 as Visit Indonesia Year.... polished his promotion (to support the slogan) secuil also was not seen in this national tourist attraction.

Beside the draught with various trees that if again the fruitful season could be at once reaped and in ate in the place, this tourist attraction was also supplemented with other tour means like, the circle carriage, the tour car, tuk-tuk, the bicycle tandem, the motor atv, monorail, the duck boat, the rowing-boat, bombom car, the flora theatre, the water lily pond, the water garden, the canal boat, the centre of seedling cultivation, the shop, the shop souvenir the fruit, pujasera, Vila in the orchard forest, the entertainment stage and did not miss also challenge facilities outbound that really defiant as flying slid, descended steep, climbing the rope, went on the rope, climbed askew bamboo and all the rest.

This all was a package of the actual tour had the attraction that was good and appropriate to be visited. However once more love... in the normal day day most quiet the visitor, ‘agak ramainya’ only in Saturday/on Sunday or the holiday day (on Monday the holiday). As the standard, if in Tiongkok there almost all of his tourist attractions always was full was visited by local tourists and manca the country, including during dihari the work even. In fact if wanting to be considered.... our tourist attractions also many that did not lose good beauty and his uniqueness, this Mekar Sari example for example. But the fact is not many people that knew about this. Yes... what can one do... we could only be concerned. Lagi–lagi proved the matter how the weakness of the management to pariwisataan we.

The Grojogan Sewu Waterfall

The Grojogan Sewu tour that was located in the Karanganyar Regency, Central Java this indeed had the special character. Moreover if being enjoyed at the time of the normal day where the number of visitors not too many. With the location of the height approximately 1000 metre on the surface of sea water (this according to Sir Sukino-volunteer), the cool climate was really felt in this place. Moreover in right left the waterfall of many big trees that were tens even hundreds of years old. Went on a trip to Grojogan Sewu indeed almost fully enjoyed beauty of the waterfall, because practical did not have other facilities apart from the waterfall. Was available also several games for the very simple child, if not wanting to be said was not available. Perhaps the tour of the vegetables expenses and typical mountains could increase the alternative to the aim to this place. Moreover around the entrance also was available the leasee of the horse, not there is mistakenly to try to go round rose the horse only denga the cost fifteen thousand rupiah for one round time.

Further information about this place then not we could, because not the availability of the guide and the brochure that explained about this place. In broad outline, indeed Grojogan Sewu be classed as in the concept ekowisata, that is the tour that relied on beauty and the authenticity of nature. In the future, this tourist attraction could become one of the Karanganyar mainstays of the Regency tour, because apart from could be covered easily by the motor driver and the car, was not far from here still one road direction, we could reach the Sarangan Lake.

When seeing the door to the jostling ticket, seldom loosened the spirit to see Grojogan Sewu. What the power, foot we have taken a step and exact stood exact in front of the entrance. Finally must be willing to queue to get the admission ticket into the tourist attraction. Moreover not only that, to menuruni the ladder headed Grojogan Sewu, then must experience the alias impasse must be willing the road was very slow because of the number of people. After one by one overtook in the bend, approximately to the descendants of the ladder to our 70 succeeded in passing several parties of the person and rocking from side to side rather fast down.

Such was Grojogan Sewu tour scenery at the time of the Public Holiday holiday. Indeed according to Mr Sukino (36) sala one Grojogan Sewu additional volunteer during days besar,”Kalau lebaran yes like this Mas his condition, like the market bubar,”. Almost in each place of the rest, in the corner of the place, on the edge tebing, in fact arrive in low the waterfall was full of the person. not this a blessing of the lebaran day? One-sided indeed we could not enjoy beauty of this waterfall optimally, but in other the side definitely this turned on the wheel of economics of many people especially around this waterfall tour. From beginning this place manager to the available sellers certainly felt his positive impact.

Because of the road around the relatively narrow waterfall, whereas the quite crowded person, to take the picture of the location then was forced to have to stop the footpath several times. Be enough to have difficulty taking the good picture, because in all the places always had the person who sat relaxed to enjoy cool him the waterfall from various sides. After going round around the waterfall with the height approximately 81 metre this, we sat sembari enjoyed chicken satay of Mr Kin. Apparently the only chicken satay that was in the location of the waterfall. It seems moderate was glad, and his price then was not too expensive, only dibandrol six thousand rupiah per the portion. Although in right left our place sat many milling people, even increasingly increased the fun ate satay, “nuansa him berbeda”.

Bogor Botanic Garden

Like that entered the main gate that was guarded by two Ganesha statues, the god of the Hindu policy, the visitor could choose four routes that were offered in the garden measuring 87 hectare that. Entered the route of one, we will trace Street Kenari, in accordance with the tree kind had a name latin Canarium commune that often grew in the region. This tree was planted by Johannes Elias Teysmann in 1832, penata the garden from the Netherlands that at that time held the office of the first curator of the Bogor Botanic Garden.

Apart from being overgrown by thousands species the good crop in and foreign, the Botanic Garden also was the "island" of the protected place for was varied birds in the middle of the developing city fast, was recorded by more than 50 birds kinds was here, a fairy kepodang, walik the flower, the thrush, kucica, kowak, the heron, and cinenen grey. Like that was seen that afternoon, dozens of herons milled about on the tree that grew in the middle of the pond, with his voice that was typical.

Continued the trip entered the second route, apart from will meet rimbunan the pandanus tree, the palm, and several ponds with various water crops. Very picturesque scenery could be experienced in Cafe Botanicus that was surrounded the meadow and the big pond were adorned with the water lily crop. In this place the visitor many that made use of him to rest or relax. Lay was based on grass or enjoyed food provisions with the family.

If you were the lover of the kind tree nail-pakuan, then the third route was his heaven this kind. There had the Mexican Garden, the part of the nature forest that was filled by the collection nail-pakuan, spices, the palm and the bat. For the lover of the orchid, in the route of the four Bogor botanic gardens also kept many valuable collections high. It is not surprising that in 1977, Siti Hartinah, the wife former President Soeharto mendanai the production of the special greenhouse for the wild orchid collection available in Indonesia. Unfortunately, to enter him must have special permission and bought the ticket before.

The existence of this garden started from the wish of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Javanese Governor to 1811-1816, to form the Istana Garden that was occupied by him to the stylish English garden.
