ORANG UTAN

ORANG UTAN FOR INDONESIAN HERITAGE

One interesting fact when discussing the matter in terms of culture of Indonesia is the country with endless stories about the cultural heritage it has. Perhaps no one if many foreign tourists who had come to Indonesia said that the country is made up of genes is very strong culture rooted among the people. In fact, not just "pass on" culture, a country famous for the friendliness of its people's behavior is now able to "give birth" a new culture that often cause click amazed.

Language, ceremonies, customs, arts, food, even with animal species, the world admits that Indonesia has always been at the level of unique and interesting. May still be fresh in your mind how to Komodo Island is now a universal issue for ordained as one of the wonders of the world. Let's see how the world is very concerned Sumatran tiger, the Javan rhino, Komodo, Peacock, Deer Bawean, and Orangutan as one of the animals whose existence is increasingly rare. Let's see how the Discovery Channel and National Geograpfic repeatedly show the importance of keeping the population of these animals.

Unfortunately, the last animal mentioned in the above paragraphs as if sinking now from our attention, the people of Indonesia. In fact, primates that have a close kinship with this man is experiencing significant population declines. The depletion of habitat due to land clearing and hunting and commercial trade in orangutans, including for smuggled abroad, a major factor in animals that have similarities with the human DNA is 96% of this population is declining.

Orangutan or also commonly called "Mawas", is a kind of great apes with long arms and reddish or brown hairy. They live in tropical forests of Indonesia and Malaysia, particularly on the island of Borneo and Sumatra. Orangutan The term itself is derived from the Malay language which means "forest people". Orangutan includes two species, namely the Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo Abelii) and the Borneo Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus).

Orangutans have strong arms, short legs and bowed, but did not have a tail.Orangutans have a height about 1.25 - 1.5 meters. Weight Orangutan males can reach 90 kg, while for females 50 kg. Like humans, Orangutans have four long fingers plus a thumb. The soles of their feet also have an arrangement of the fingers are very similar to humans.

Orangutans used to live in dense trees and make nests of leaves. They can live in a variety of forest types, ranging from dipterokarpus forest hills and plains, watersheds, freshwater swamp forests, peat bogs, to the mountain forests. In Borneo, the Orangutan can be found at an altitude of 500 m above sea level.Especially for the Sumatran Orangutan, they are endemic animals that exist only in Sumatra. The existence of this animal is protected by the Act No.. 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems.

Because the residence is a dense forest, it is difficult to estimate the exact number of population. Orangutans are currently found only in Sumatra and Borneo, in Southeast Asia. In Borneo, the Orangutan population is estimated around 55,000 individuals. In Sumatra, the number is estimated about 7,500 individuals.

But the population progressively declined in recent decades due to lack of lowland forests and pointed out the amount of decrease in population tends to be faster.Meanwhile, future climate change is expected to be a serious threat to orangutan conservation in Indonesia.

Let's save the orangutan population in Indonesia as one of the nation's biodiversity heritage. Let the government help preserve these animals as the world's most important asset in maintaining the balance of the world's ecosystems. Let's open the eyes that Indonesia has a very important position in the conservation of orangutans in the world. Save orangutans!

THE AMAZING KOMODO

HISTORY ABOUT THE AMAZING KOMODO

In 1901 the Dutch named the island on the south side of East Nusa Tenggara province is the nickname of the island of Komodo. This story begins with Lt. Steyn va Hens Broek who tries to prove statements about the presence of Dutch troops dragon looking like a monster on the island. Steyn then killed one of these dragons and bring documentation to the Museum and Botanical Garden in Bogor to be investigated.


Komodo National Park is a national park in Indonesia, located near the Lesser Sunda Islands in the border region between the province of East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara. Park includes three major islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar, as well as a number of other small islands and a total area reaches 1,817 km ² (603 km ² land). This national park was established in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon. Then the national park is dedicated to protecting other species, including marine species. The islands in the park originated from volcanic activity.Approximately 4000 people live inside the park. In 1991 the park was named UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Scuba diving is a popular water sport in the Park because of high seas biodiversity, including sharks, ocean sunfish, manta rays, eagle rays, tiny seahorse, false pipefish, clown Frogfish, nudibranchs, blue-ringed octopus, sponges, tunicates, and corals. \ Since 1995, the national park authority has been supported by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), an American environmental organization. The new management plan in conjunction with TNC Authored and implemented in 2000 to address the increasing problems of natural resources, both marine and terrestrial.Most of the pressure on marine fisheries resources come from the public and commercial enterprises from outside the park. However, regulations and restrictions on the use of resources affect the majority of residents in the park, which has little choice to live and depend on what has ditawarkann park. Provision of alternative livelihoods is part of the overall management strategy, but people in the park has not benefited from the appropriate steps in addressing their needs.

Development - largely marine-based - ecotourism is the main strategy to make the park self-financing and generate sufficient revenue through entrance fees and tourism licenses to cover operational and managerial costs. Until now, a joint venture between TNC and a tourism agency to tour operators of concessions, which also extends to the right of the park management. These concessions generate controversy continued. The joint venture has been accused of making unilateral decisions, so many people around Komodo which states that the joint venture have not been consulted about decisions that ultimately affect the lives of people living on the island of Komodo and surrounding areas.

The most in the spotlight of controversy caused by the death of some fishermen since the 1980s. The situation of the fishermen who died showed that they seemed to be deliberately killed. conteste. While the parks patrol (including, police and navy personnel) claim they acted in self-defense, while accusing the park managers who intentionally kills fisherman.

Komodo National Park continue to provide a sense of respect for the tourists, but the conflict between park management, TNC, and the local community continue to not find a bright spot. Komodo National Park has been nominated and became one of 28 finalists to be one of the seven new wonders of the world. Mercury Development Solutions, a real estate development company based in Bali, is one of the companies active in the promotion and support for Komodo, to make it known in the international area. Kanawa Island, is the first step taken by the company to improve the facilities and accommodations for guests, bringing to a high standard of service and environmentally friendly

The presence of the Komodo National Park became one of the popular vote competition nominees "New 7 Wonder" is currently quite inviting appeal. The controversy that accompanied the event certainly has absolutely no effect on intensive efforts to continue to preserve the park in 1986 by UNESCO as world heritage site.

Komodo National Park is located between the province of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara includes three major islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar Island and several small islands with a land area covering 603 km ² and the total area is 1817 km ². Administratively the area is located within the District of Komodo, West Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. National Park is designated as a conservation area by the Minister of Forestry forest with an area of ​​132,572 ha is initially formed with the purpose of conserving species of giant lizard Komodo dragon or a unique and rare.

Komodo dragons are known by the scientific name Varanus komodoensis is the world's largest lizard species that live on the island of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Gili Dasami in Nusa Tenggara. By local people, dragons are often called Ora.

Including family members Varanidae lizards, and klad Toxicofera, dragons are the largest lizards in the world, with an average length of 2-3 m. Large size is associated with symptoms of island gigantism, the tendency for body meraksasanya certain animals that live on a small island linked to the absence of carnivorous mammals in the island where dragons live, and the rate of metabolism of small dragons. Because of her size, these lizards occupy the position of a top predator that dominate the ecosystems in which they live.

Komodo dragons are found in 1910. He was a great and terrible reputation that makes them popular in zoos. Dragons in the wild habitat has shrunk and hence incorporate dragons IUCN as a species vulnerable to extinction. This large lizard is now protected under Indonesian law and a national park was established to protect them.

the amazing "wayang kulit"

the amazing "wayang kulit"

PUPPET one of the nation's top arts and culture of Indonesia's most prominent among the many works of other cultures. Role of puppet culture including art, sound art, music, speech arts, literary arts, painting, sculpture, and art is also symbolic.Puppet culture, which continues to grow from age to age, is also a medium lighting, propaganda, education, entertainment, philosophical understanding, as well as entertainment.According to research by historians of culture, culture is a culture puppet native to Indonesia, particularly in Java. The existence of wayang already centuries before the Hindus entered the island of Java. Although a popular puppet story in today's society is an adaptation of the works of Indian literature, namely Ramayana and Mahabharata. The second story in the puppet master undergone many changes and additions to adapt them to the original philosophy of Indonesia.Adjustment of the concept of philosophy is also concerned at the Java community philosophical views on the status of the gods in the puppet. The gods in the puppet is no longer something that is free from wrong, but like the other God's creatures, sometimes act wrong, and could be a blunder. The presence of puppet characters panakawan dalam_ deliberately created the humanists In donesia (exactly humanists Java) to reinforce the concept of philosophy that in this world there is no creature that is really good, and truly evil. Every creature has always bears the elements of good and evil.In his dissertation entitled Bijdrage tot de Kennis van het Javaansche Tooneel (1897), Dutch cultural historian Dr. GA.J. Hazeau demonstrate his belief that the puppet show is a native of Java. Understanding the puppet in the dissertation of Dr..Hazeau it is walulang inukir (carved leather) and seen its shadow on the screen.Thus, the puppet in question of course is a Shadow Puppet as we know it today.Origin

Regarding the origin of this puppet, in the world there are two opinions. First, the opinion that the puppet originated and was first born on the island of Java, precisely in East Java. This opinion is in addition to adopted and raised by researchers and experts in the nation of Indonesia, also the result of research of Western scholars.Among Western scholars belonging to this group, is Hazeau, Brandes, Kats, Rentse, and Kruyt.The reason they are strong enough. Among other things, that the art of puppet is still very closely related to sociocultural and religious nation state of Indonesia, especially the Javanese. Panakawan, the most significant figures in the puppet, which Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong, there are only puppets in Indonesia, and not in another country. In addition, names and technical terms puppet shows, it all comes from the Javanese (Kuna), and not other languages.Meanwhile, a second opinion suspect puppets from India, who brought along with Hinduism to Indonesia. They include Pischel, Hidding, Krom, Poensen, Goslings, and Rassers. Most of this second group is the British scholar, European country which had colonized India.However, since the 1950's, pe wayangan books as if they had agreed that the puppet did come from Java, and not imported from another country.

Estimated to have been born puppet culture in the Indo nesia at least during the reign of King Airlangga, king Kahuripan (976 -1012), ie when the kingdom in East Java that was prosperous, his prosperous. Literary works are the subject of puppet story was written by the poets Indonesia, since the century X. Among other things, the script-language literature Kakawin Book of Old Javanese Ramayana written in the reign of Dyah Balitung (989-910), which is a recomposition of the Book of Ramayana poets In her essay, Valmiki. Furthermore, the poets of Java is no longer just translate the Ramayana and the Mahabharata into Old Javanese language, but compose and retell by incorporating into it the philosophy of Java. For example, the work of the professor Kanwa Arjunawiwaha Kakawin, which is composed by a berinduk on the Book of Mahabharata. Other, more tangible spin difference derigan In her version of the original story, is a master work of Baratayuda Kakawin Panuluh Sedah and professor. This great work done during the reign of King Jayabaya, king of Kadiri (1130-1160).Puppet as a performance and spectacle had already started there since the reign of King Airlangga. Some inscriptions are made in those days, among others already mentioned the words "mawa that 'and` aringgit' that intention is a puppet show.Regarding the birth of cultural puppets, Ir. Sri Mulyono in his book Symbolism and Mysticism in the Puppet (1979), estimate the puppet has existed since the time of Neolithikum, ie approximately 1,500 years before Christ. His opinion was based on the writings Robert von Heine-Geldern Ph. D, Prehis toric Research in the Netherland Indies (1945) and Prof. writing. K.A.H. Hidding in Indonesia Encyclopedia 987 pages worth.The word `puppet 'probably derived from the word` wewa shadow', which means shadow. This assumption is consistent with the fact the Shadow Puppet performances that uses color, a piece of cloth, as a barrier between the puppeteer who plays the puppet, and the audience behind the curtain. Viewers simply watch the puppet movements through the shadows fall on the screen. At that time the wayang accompanied only by a simple set of gamelan consist of saron, Todung (a type of flute), and kemanak. Other types of gamelan and singer at that time allegedly does not exist.For more menjawakan puppet culture, since the early era of the Majapahit Kingdom introduced another puppet story that is not berinduk on the Book of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Since then Panji stories; the story about the ancestor of the kings of Majapahit, was introduced as one form of another puppet. Bannerman story is then used more for show Wayang Beber. The tradition of wayang menjawakan also forwarded by some Islamic scholars, among them by the Wali Sanga. They began mewayangkan story of the king of Majapahit, including Damarwulan story.Introduction of Islam to Indonesia since the 15th century also gave a major influence on the culture of puppets, especially the religious concept of the puppet's philosophy. At the beginning of the 15th century, namely the time of the Kingdom of Demak, began to use specially shaped oil lamps called blencong on Wayang performances.Since the days of Kartasura, composing a puppet story in the Ramayana and Mahabharata berinduk farther away from the original. Since the days of the community's fans know the genealogy of wayang puppet characters, including the figure his god, which originated from the Prophet Adam. Sisilah it continued to arrive at the kings on the island of Java. And furthermore, also known as the story began to grip puppet. the appropriate standard of stories, puppets and stories carangan beyond the standard line. Also there's more drama called splinter, which was too far out of the story grip.Indeed, so strong as puppet art is rooted in the culture of Indonesia, so there was some confusion between the wayang stories, legends, and history. If the Indians thought that the story of Mahabharata and Ramayana actually occurred in his country, regarded Javanese wayang story actually happened on the island of Java.And in the region Kulonprogo own puppet is still very interested by all circles. Not just by parents alone, but also teenagers and even young children have also been used to seeing puppet show. Besides ordinary puppet also in use in certain events in the area Kulonprogo, both in urban areas or in rural areas Wates in Kulonprogo

This mountain is part of the Mount Rinjani National Park which has an area of ​​about 41,330 ha and this will 

be proposed the addition to be 76 000 ha to the west and east
Ascent
Mount Rinjani is located on the island of Lombok, To get to Mount Rinjani, you can use a direct bus from Jakarta to Mataram, after arriving in Mataram you're heading to the village Sembalun or can also use the vehicle to the village Senaru setempat.atau using the flight from Jakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar headed to the airport Selaparang Mataram - Lombok

Most climbers start climbing from the climbing route and end Sembalun in Senaru, it can save 700m altitude. Sembalun route is rather long but flat, and the weather is hotter because it is through the scorching savannas (cold temperatures, but direct solar radiation burning the skin). cream shading is highly recommended
From Route Senaru slope without a pause, but soft because of the weather through the forest. Of the two locations takes about 7 hours walking toward the lip ridge at an altitude of 2.641m asl (arriving in Plawangan Senaru or Plawangan Sembalun). In place of this view of the lake, or to the outside is very nice

The journey to the summit quite tolerable; for climbing on the lip of the crater with a margin of safety is mediocre. Terrain of sand, rock, soil. Final height of 200 meters must be taken with great difficulty, because one step forward followed by half a step down (fallen rocks gravel). Create a highlander - this place the most challenging and unpaid preferred because of the rough terrain with beautiful natural scenery. Mount Agung in Bali, Mount Ijen-Merapi in Banyuwangi and Mount Tambora on Sumbawa clearly visible when the weather is nice in the morning. To climb Rinjani unnecessary tools, enough stamina, patience and "passion"
