Palembang has a famous river icon, the Musi River, but I was curious about the
part of the tip of the musi river, then I studied the mouths of the Musi river
there are 5 estuaries, and one of which I can access is the Musi estuary located
at Sungsang Banyuasin, a trip to a place is approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from
Palembang. At the first observation, I discovered the wealth of Nypah fruticans
and Sonneratia caseolaris, but in one section there was a large amount of land
clearing, besides that there was a lot of rubbish under the people^s houses.
According to some mangrove residents are a nuisance because they continue to
grow under their homes, so regular logging is usually done.
When I asked several residents, they said that in Sungsang there was no waste
management from local or government officials. They also say that it^s always
been like that, when the tide of garbage will be carried away. From this
beginning I thought that it would be a pity if this local potential would not be
well maintained, how the ecosystem in the future. Then we need education that
starts with children, through learning in children it is hoped that they will
become adults who take care of their environment going forward. Therefore I
am interested in learning how the concept of ecosystems that are around them,
so that they can realize that the material of ecosystems is that close to the daily
lives of students.
