Like a play..
Like a play, Komodo dragon (Varanus komodensis) is currently the main character of environmental issues and national tourism. Everyone is still waiting for the end of the story. Would be sweet, or so controversial as lelakon additional 8 of 31 elephants elephant's Safari Park Bali in Gianyar Regency now.
Last week, the Komodo National Park, one of the original habitat of komodo in East Nusa Tenggara, announced the finalists one of the Seven Wonders of the New World Foundation, which held the Seven Wonders of the New World.
Along with 27 other finalists, Komodo National Park has set aside 440 of 220 countries nomine.
However, the Internet, call the Department of Culture and Tourism to support the same election with a call rejection hardness removal plans or 5 tails 10 pairs of Wae Wuul komodo, West Manggarai, Flores Island, NTT, the Province of Bali. On the social networking site Facebook, for example, a call that sounded sharp, ie "Reject Relocation Plan Komodo to Bali".
The plan was being debated the latest about komodo dragons, which simultaneously affected the problem of gold mining activities in the region Batugosok, which is also located in West Manggarai regency.
NTT community since the beginning rejected this plan firmly. Starting from NGOs environmentalists, West Manggarai district legislature, head of the region in Flores, to Parliament and the Governor of East Nusa Tenggara Frans Lebu Raya. Flores Komodo Conservation Movement, for example, raise the action to collect signatures as a form of rejection of the plan. Appears assessment, authoritarian central government if the plan was actually realized.
"If you will be moved, you should not to Bali because the habitat there is very different from the natural habitat on the island of Rinca and Komodo island. Genetic purification is not easy, nor transfer this animal, "said West Manggarai Regent Wilfridus Fidelis Pranda.
A number of the Komodo dragon is also considered moving to Bali in the tourism aspect is very detrimental NTT, and Bali as well. Flores lost his charm komodonya, while the uniqueness of art and tradition of religious tourism Bali "teracak-random" supermarket concept of tourism: dozens of elephants, komodo dragons, and whatever else the future ....
Moreover, genetic purification process was reportedly made by the flagship tourist attraction Safari Park Bali. It is feared that tourists are no longer interested in the east, visit the original habitat Komodo dragon on Flores.
People of Bali have taken advantage of the additional 8 polemical introduction to elephants Safari Park Bali that ended the ban elephants addition to Bali until the completion of the study of the carrying capacity of the region Bali since early this year.
Studies on Bali's carrying capacity, for example, how big a tourist's interest in the elephant show in Bali? Is not hard to find food for the dozens of large animals? Within a day, an elephant needs about 2 hundred pounds of food in the form of stem of coconut, fruits and vegetables, and grass.
Please note, to this day all over Bali has 86 elephants there are "employed" in the three theme parks, namely the tail at 31
Bali Safari Park (in More, Gianyar), the rest is in Taro Elephant Safari (Ubud, Gianyar), and Bakas Adventures (Klungkung). In addition to the tourist attractions, the elephants are saddled with tourists for safari and out of the village.
Distinctiveness favor of Bali tourism cultural tourism and religion have long faded and the whole worry about if the Balinese tourism businessmen adopt wildlife tourism attractions such as elephants and komodo dragons, and everything in there. "Bali is renowned for its culture, not because elephants or animals. Cultural tourism ever be maintained, "said Gede Nurjaya, the former head of Bali Tourism Office.
Executive Director of Friends of the Earth Indonesia (WALHI) Bali Agung Wardhana states, placement in Bali Komodo dragon demanded the creation of artificial habitat that resembles their natural habitat in the Wae Wuul. For that, he urged the Department of Forestry open to public review of the analysis of natural and social impacts of the plan.
As contained in the Decree of the Minister of Forestry No. SK.384/Menhut-II/2009 dated May 13, 2009 on granting permission to catch 10 Komodo dragon's tail, the main objective is to transfer genetic purification. Purification plan that will be conducted by Bali's Safari Park, said the Minister of Forestry MS Kaban, has also got approval from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).
Kaban said the government took these steps at once to save the Komodo dragon on Flores Island from the threat of extinction. Transfer process is also important because the Komodo dragon on Flores Island is now threatened because of living in the bush area full of dry grass in the summer of highly flammable. The issue is more important: the Komodo dragon started to go into villages and devouring cattle citizens.
However, Bali Safari Park authorities are reluctant to comment on this polemic. However, as stated Director of Taman Safari Indonesia Tonny Sumampau, genetic purification solely for the sake of conservation, and komodo dragons are bred in Taman Safari Indonesia is not intended to be sold or exchanged with animals from abroad.
In addition to the Safari Park, several conservation organizations eksitu (outside the natural habitat) has been collected komodo, including Ragunan Zoo (Jakarta), Surabaya Zoo, and Happy Loka Zoo (Yogyakarta).
However, as reported by Kompas.com, komodo genetic data in all areas in NTT is already available, namely the research results of DNA research team Molecular Studies Zoology Komodo Field Research Center for Biology LIPI few years ago. The study of genetic diversity were obtained after examining 154 blood samples that were collected from the Komodo dragon Flores northern, western Flores, Gili Montang, Nusa Kode, Rinca and Komodo Island.
That is why, the argument of genetic purification on Bali was considered out of place. According to the Conservation Movement Coordinator Flores Komodo Rofino Kant, purifying it should be done in their natural habitat, not in Bali. Along with that, the central government was more appropriate enhance conservation facilities Komodo dragon on Flores. "Facilities at Wae Wuul very minimal. Similarly, the general facilities within the scope of BKSDA (Center of Natural Resources Conservation) II, which includes Flores-Alor-Lembata.
Objections were in fact a form of love and community to the Komodo dragon habitat. Clearly, the removal of the public waiting Forestry Ministry decree, and the statement of cancellation of genetic purification plan komodo by Taman Safari Indonesia.
