Ujung Kulon National Park - Banten - Indonesia
This national park, located in the extreme south-western tip of Java on the Sunda shelf, includes the Ujung Kulon peninsula and several offshore islands and encompasses the natural reserve of Krakatoa. In addition to its natural beauty and geological interest – particularly for the study of inland volcanoes – it contains the largest remaining area of lowland rainforests in the Java plain. Several species of endangered plants and animals can be found there, the Javan rhinoceros being the most seriously under threat.
The oldest and largest of the protected areas on the island of Java the boundary of the property encloses a very large area that is sufficient to protect its outstanding scenic, natural values as well as the important biodiversity values that warranted inscription on the World Heritage List. The huge volcanic mass of Krakatau dominates the property and is completely contained within its boundaries.
The property contains all the necessary habitat for the in-situ conservation of its unique biological diversity, including those habitats required to support the threatened species and other biota of outstanding universal value. While it is no longer possible to increase the size of the property, its location, in particular on the peninsula, provides managers with an ideal geographic unit for management.
A number of the component areas of the property are surrounded by buffer zones with activities in the zone given increasing attention in regards to regulation from the relevant provincial authority, with advice from the management agency. Poaching of the Javan Rhino has always been the main management issue and careful monitoring is required to ensure there is no illegal poaching of this critically endagered species as well as the other unique biodiversity contained and protected within the property.

Lampung
Ancient Chinese travel chronicles refer to a place in the most southerly part of Sumatra called Lampung or Place of the southerly winds. Megalithic sculptures discovered in Kebontebu, Kenali, Pugung and Batubedil also help to date the province to Indonesia's greatest maritime empire, Sriwijaya. Strategically located looking towards Krakatau and Java across the Sunda Strait, Lampung has a long history of trade and is still an important gateway into Sumatra, particularly from Jakarta.
The Province is generally flat with the highest mountains of Gunung pesagi, Tanggamas, Seminiung, Sekincau and Raya all being dormant volcanoes. Pundar Lampung, the Provincial capital, was formerly two separate towns, Tanjungkarang and the port of Teluk Betung, which after the infamous eruption of Krakatau were both completely covered in volcanic ash. In the course of development, however, these towns have merged together to become one single city. Being blessed with incredibly fertile soil, agriculture has naturally become the main industry of the province. Clove, coffee, cassava, cocoa and rice are preferred in the eastern sections of the regions. The area around Lake Ranu is primarily a tobacco growing area.
The Way Kambas Nature Reserve in the west of the province is a perfect place to see Sumatran elephants being trained to work in thick tropical jungles as well as hundreds of species of exotic birds. Tigers still roam this land although they are rare. The largest flower in the world, Rafflesia, can be seen at the Bukit Barisan Selatan National park.

BKSDA Bengkulu Peringati Hari Peduli Sampah (HPSN) 2019 di 3 Lokasi
Hari Peduli Sampah Nasional (HPSN) diperingati setiap tanggal 21 Februari. Kementerian Negara Lingkungan Hidup mencanangkan 21 Febuari 2006 sebagai Hari Peduli Sampah untuk pertama kalinya.
Peringatan ini muncul atas ide dan desakan dari sejumlah pihak untuk mengenang peristiwa di Leuwigajah, Cimahi, Jawa Barat, pada 21 Februari 2005 di mana sampah dapat menjadi mesin pembunuh yang merenggut nyawa lebih dari 100 jiwa.
Pada peristiwa naas tersebut terjadi akibat curah hujan yang tinggi dan ledakan gas metana pada tumpukan sampah. Akibatnya 157 jiwa melayang dan dua kampung (Cilimus dan pojok) hilang dari peta karena tergulung longsoran sampah yang berasal dari Tempat Pembuangan Akhir Leuwigajah. Tragedi ini memicu dicanangkannya Hari Peduli Sampah Nasional (HPSN) yang diperingati tepat di tanggal insiden itu terjadi.
Dan untuk memperingati HPSN pada tahun 2019, Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan secara serentak melaksanakan aksi bersih sampah yang dilakukan Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) di daerah pada tanggal 4 Maret 2019 dengan tema Kelola Sampah Untuk Hidup Bersih, Sehat dan Bernilai.
Dan BKSDA Bengkulu turut andil dalam aksi dimaksud yang dilakukan di 3 lokasi, yaitu:
1) TWA Bukit Kaba di Kab. Rejang Lebong-Bengkulu
2) TWA Pantai Panjang dan Pulau Baai di Kota Bengkulu-Bengkulu
3) TAHURA Wan Abdul Rahman di Kab. Pesawaran-Lampung
Aksi ini juga melibatkan dan adanya dukungan dari instansi terkait, pemerintah daerah, para komunitas peduli konservasi dan lingkungan serta dari akademisi di sekitar lokasi kegiatan.
Semoga dengan aksi pada peringatan HPSN 2019 dapat memeberikan pengaruh yang positif bagi masayarakat sekitar untuk peduli pada keberadaan sampah dan menerapkan 3R (Reuse, Reduce dan Recycle).

SUMMARY
=======
Indonesia ( ( listen) IN-də-NEE-zhə, -zee-ə; Indonesian: [ɪndoneˈsia]), officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia [rɛpublik ɪndoneˈsia]), is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It is the world's largest island country, with more than thirteen thousand islands, and at 1,904,569 square kilometres (735,358 square miles), the 14th largest by land area and the 7th largest in combined sea and land area. With over 261 million people, it is the world's 4th most populous country as well as the most populous Muslim-majority country. Java, the world's most populous island, contains more than half of the country's population.
Indonesia is a republic with an elected parliament and president. It has 34 provinces, of which five have special status. Jakarta, the country's capital, is the second most populous urban area in the world. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and the eastern part of Malaysia. Other neighbouring countries include Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, Palau, and India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support a high level of biodiversity. The country has abundant natural resources like oil and natural gas, tin, copper and gold. Agriculture mainly produces rice, palm oil, tea, coffee, cacao, medicinal plants, spices and rubber. Indonesia's major trading partners are China, United States, Japan, Singapore and India.The Indonesian archipelago has been an important region for trade since at least the 7th century, when Srivijaya and then later Majapahit traded with Chinese dynasties and Indian kingdoms. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders and Sufi scholars brought Islam, while European powers brought Christianity and fought one another to monopolise trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Indonesia experienced a long period of Dutch colonialism that started from Amboina and Batavia, eventually covering all of the archipelago including Timor and Western New Guinea, and at times interrupted by Portuguese, French and British rule. During the decolonisation of Asia after World War II, Indonesia achieved independence in 1949 following an armed and diplomatic conflict with the Netherlands.
Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups, with the largest—and politically dominant—ethnic group being the Javanese. A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a Muslim-majority population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity literally, many, yet one), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. Indonesia's economy is the world's 16th largest by nominal GDP and the 7th largest by GDP at PPP. Indonesia is a member of several multilateral organisations, including the UN, WTO, IMF and G20. It is also a founding member of Non-Aligned Movement, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, East Asia Summit, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

SUMMARY
=======
Banten is the westernmost province on the island of Java, in Indonesia. Its provincial capital city is Serang.
The population of Banten was officially estimated at 11,834,087 at the start of 2014, up from over 10.6 million during the 2010 census. Formerly part of the province of West Java, Banten became a separate province in 2000. The province is a transit corridor to the neighbouring Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Historically, it has had a culture distinct from the rest of Java and that of the broader Indonesian archipelago. In recent years, the northern half, particularly those areas near Jakarta and the Java Sea coast, have experienced rapid rises in population and urbanization, while the southern half, particularly that facing the Indian Ocean, maintains more of its traditional character.
