Kawasan Taman Nasional Alas Purwo dan Upaya Penyelamatannya Tahun 2007-2018

Abstract

This articles discusses Alas Purwo National Park Area and its rescue efforts in 2007 until 2018. This study aims to determine the disturbances that occur in the Alas purwo National Park conservation area and the handling carried out by the Balai. The method used is the historical method, namely topic selection, heuristics, verification criticism, interpretation, and historiography. As a historical study, this paper uses the approach of political ecology and conservation theory. The results showed that on February 26, 1992 there was a change in status from a wildlife reserve to Alas Purwo National Park. The year 1997 marked the beginning of the release of the Alas Purwo National Park area from the Baluran National Park with the issuance of Minister of Forestry Decree No. 185/Kpts-II/1997 dated 31 March 1997. This does not mean that the TNAP area feels free from threats of damage. Disturbances that occur in the Alas Purwo National Park area include deforestation, land conversion, forest encroachment, mining, plantations, logging and the timber industry. Responding to this disturbance, officers from the Alas Purwo National Park Office implemented a security strategy by establishing a Resort Base Management (RBM), which is a national park area security unit. Resorts in the national park area deal directly with regional disturbances in the form of encroachment, illegal logging, illegal fishing, illegal mining, poaching, and so on
