The Unifinished Kutai National Park

fahmi — May 31, 2008 / 8:47 am

Kutai has quite big national park, since there is 198,000 hectare area that is enrich not only by various and uniques plants but also rare animals, such as orangutan (Pongo satyrus), owa kalimantan (Hylobates muelleri), bekantan (Nasalis larvatus), kera ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis fascicularis), beruk (M. nemestrina nemestrina), and kukang (Nyticebus coucang borneanus).

But recently, the condition of this national park is very afflicted, because the local citizen destroy it, by wild deforestation and burn the forest. This action couldn’t be handled by the officers, since there is only limited officers work there.

The effect of this deforestation is many animals loiter from the forest and take foods from local house.

I hope the local government can do some assertive actions to prevent the wider of damage.
