Kawasan Hutan Mangrove Aceh Tamiang Rusak

BANDA ACEH - Wahana Lingkungan Hidup (Walhi) Aceh melihat kerusakan kawasan hutan pesisir Mangrove di Aceh Tamiang sudah rusak 85 persen akibat aktivitas ilegal.
Direktur Eksekutif Walhi Aceh, Muhammad Nur menjelaskan, luas kawasan hutan pesisir Mangrove di Aceh Tamiang seluas 24.013,5 Hektare (Ha), terbagi dari hutan lindung 109,24 Ha, dan hutan produksi seluas 18.904,26 Ha.
Hasil investigasi Walhi Aceh menemukan 85% dalam kondisi rusak akibat berbagai aktifitas ilegal, kata Muhammad Nur, Rabu (7/3) .
Kata M Nur, secara geografis, kawasan hutan Mangrove itu berada di Kecamatan Seuruway, Bendahara, Banda Mulia, serta Manyak Payed.
WALHI Aceh menemukan, di dalam kawasan hutan Mangrove Aceh Tamiang terjadi aktifitas ilegal, seperti perambahan dan ilegal logging. Perambahan dilakukan untuk pembukaan perkebunan kelapa sawit serta pembangunan tambak. Sedangkan hasil ilegal logging dijadikan sebagai bahan baku arang. Aktifitas ilegal logging ini sebagian besarnya dibiayai oleh pemilik dapur arang. dimana saat ini mencapai lebih 200 unit, dan secara umum diduga tidak memiliki izin.
Selain dampak abrasi, lanjut M Nur, hal ini juga menganggu keseimbangan ekosistem pesisir merupakan dampak terbesar, parahnya vegetasi yang tersisa hanya jenis Mangrove api-api.
Selain itu, juga terganggunya habitat satwa seperti burung Rangkong, burung cucur hujan, burung leci, dan beberapa jenis satwa lainnya juga ikut terancam dengan aktifitas ilegal tersebut.
Lemahnya pengawasan dan penegakan hukum menjadi faktor utama, aktifitas ilegal tersebut terus terjadi. Terlebih, masyarakat mengakui oknum pemerintah ikut terlibat dan memiliki usaha dapaur arang di lokasi, jelas Muhammad Nur.
Karena adanya temuan tersebut, WALHI Aceh mendesak Dinas Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (DLHK) Aceh melalui Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH) III untuk melakukan penertiban secara menyeluruh serta melakukan rehabilitasi fungsi kawasan yang rusak.
Selain itu, lanjut M Nur, kepada penegak hukum dalam hal ini Polres Aceh Tamiang juga diminta menindak aktor-aktor yang terlibat dalam aktifitas perambahan dan ilegal logging. Serta Pemerintah Aceh Tamiang dan Pemerintah Provinsi diharapkan untuk dapat memfasilitasi ekonomi alternatif kepada masyarakat yang selama ini bergantung hidup pada kegiatan ilegal tersebut.
Atau juga memungkinkan dilakukan dengan memfasilitasi pembentukan Perhutanan Sosial kepada masyarakat sekitar, pinta M Nur.
