CAN PES HELP TAHURA SULTAN ADAM IN SCHEME OF FUNDING?



What about the context of South Kalimantan Province?. Taman Hutan Raya (Tahura) or Grand Forest Park Sultan Adam of  South Kalimantan determined by the Presidential Decree 52 of 1989. The purpose is for the establishment and preservation of Bornean  germplasm collections of flora and fauna, a research facility types of tropical rain forest vegetation, education and training facilities, nature tourism facilities, maintaining the natural beauty and create a fresh micro-climate, and to improve the function of watershed hydrology. Like other forest area, it is now  to underpressure from various human activities. Protected function of Tahura Adam Sultan to the existence of Riam Kanan lake as hydroelectric suffering excessive sedimentation due to activities in the catchment area. Water debit of the reservoir was continuously decreased. The most prominent human activities cause damage to areas including Tahura Adam Sultan is illegal logging, illegal mining, and forest clearing for agriculture. Hydropower existence which the only one in Borneo, Regional Water Company and agriculture in Banjar District ultimately depends on the sustainability of these forests.

To preserve the forest area as well as conservation of protected areas has spent no small amount of funds, but the results have not been encouraging so far. Law No. 32 Year 2004 on Regional Government essentially gives flexibility to local governments to develop themselves according characteristics owned. This initiative allows local governments explore the sources of new financing for the development of protected areas and forest parks of this highway.
Government Regulation No. 54 of 2005 on the loan. Given the authority to make loans, to cover shortfalls in local government finance. However, it should be seen and assessed whether the existing financial capability to pay back the loan installments and include such interest expense is determined and required in Government Regulation. But the concept of this pattern is still putting the government as a subject that will fight alone. PES allows the government to overcome the problem of private holding environmental conservation as one of the economic base.
How to build a consensus about this?. It requires a separate effort to make it happen. Comprehensive academic study about it by the College (Lambung Mangkurat University) it would be very necessary, so how much to contribute to environmental services Tahura Sultan Adam became a fundamental awareness of local government and the private sector in environmental management.. An alternative determination of the value of conservation costs for the conservation of protected forests and vegetation conditions have normal fluctuation of water debit is relatively normal cost of the necessary conservation considered equivalent to the cost of reforestation and forest Rehabilitation needed to support the flow of water used or produced in the region. Mathematical calculation would be:
NK = B Kons / D
NK =Value of Contribution value (in U.S. $ or Indonesian Rupiah, Rp )
B Kons = Cost of Conservation (Reforestation and Forest Rehabilitation, etc. in Rp / US $)
D = Debit produced water taps, water pack in each liter or m 3
This simple calculation may be debatable and refined to obtain reasonable quantities and economically. The other important thing is  harmonize with the existing regulations.  However, the  Law Number 7 of 2004 which does not accommodate the financing for the conservation of water resources, must be closed by other funding scheme. PES is expected to reduce  the financing gap such as depending on government budget now. Precise mechanism remains necessary to maintain the business world  conducively (end)
