Peluang dan Tantangan Gerakan Penyelamatan Rawa Tripa Berbasis Komunitas di Provinsi Aceh
Abstract: Rawa Tripa is a peat
forest area in Nagan Raya Subdistrict, Aceh Province with diverse ecological
benefits as well as high content of carbon that plays an important role in
minimizing the effect of greenhouse gas on earth. Yet, the preservation of
ecosystem in the region is currently threatened due to the reduction of peat
land cover area and other environmental damages. One of the causes of the
reduction of the total area of the region is the plantation production activity
done by several oil-palm plantation companies operating in the area of Rawa
Tripa. In relation to the current environmental damages, a number of parties
and stakeholders in Aceh Province have taken an initiative to take a joint
action to save Rawa Tripa and one of the actions taken is done through a
community-based approach. The community-based environmental movement has been
regarded as an alternative solution to solve a number of environmental
problems. Community approach which is also known as partnership-based approach
or community participation in maintaining the natural resource preservation and
management. Various constraints founded in supporting the effectiveness of this
community-based environmental protection movement are, among other things, the
lack of joint commitment to maintain the preservation of this area, and the
parties with different interests and paradigm in managing the natural resources
in Rawa Tripa. The factors which can support the successful of the
environmental movement are the harmonious ideas and agendas of the parties
implementing the movement or action and the high level of local community
participation.
