Hello, kali ini ada naskah pidato buat lomba di sekolah. Temanya tentang Batur Geopark.
Langsung ajadeh, here is the speech..
Creating Prosperous Bangli Trough
Sustainable Development of Batur Geopark
Batur Geopark
is the most unique geopark in the world because It is the only geopark where
the mountain and the lake are located side by side. Spiritually, it is also believed that it is the meeting
place of Lingam, the male representation of God and Yoni, the female
representation of God, and this encounter is also believed to bring prosperity to the universe. So on this lovely occasion I would like to deliver a speech about “ Creating prosperous Bangli through
sustainable development of Batur
Geopark.
First of all, I would like to deliver about the
importance and the advantages of Batur Geopark.
Today we know that mount and lake Batur have become a part of Global Geopark Network that
the UNESCO has declared in September 20th 2012 Geopark is an area
with an expressed geological heritage and a strategy for a sustainable economic
development, and the promotion of that very development to the benefit of the
local community.
Batur Geopark has become the pride of Indonesia that
has many advantages since it has been awarded as Global Geopark Network. Batur
Geopark can be a learning resource for the student, the teachers and also the
scientist. Where not only student from Bali but also other students from other regencies and
provinces . The studens who are doing study tour that usually only
visit Kuta beach, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, or centre of handicraft have changed their destination to go to Batur Geopark.
Where they can know what Geopark is, how the geopark impact to the local
people, how communities work and what challenges of the local people
have to face, while the student enjoying their study
tour.
Batur has been long become an icon of tourism for not
only Bangli, but also Bali. Batur Geopark has beautiful panorama with cool
environment. The area around mount Batur offer to see a beautiful sunrise that
cannot be seen in the other places. In 2012 the number of visitors
who come to Caldera approximately 500,000 people, while the previous year was
only about 300,000 people. This year the number of visitors who come to the
Caldera is expected to reach 600,000. This shows the number of tourists who are
interested to visit this beautiful place.
As a tourism object, Batur Geopark
has many impact to the local people. Show that many tourist visit this place,
there are many business developing in this area, like the guide getting many
job to guide the tourist, the people near Batur can sell the souvenirs more
than before, the restaurant has many visitors, the lodging around Batur has
many client. If there are many businesses it will bprovide many job vacancies. That can be favorable to
the local people who do not have a job. So it can increase the income of the local
people.
Second , I would like to tell you
about the problems that have to be faced
by the Batur Geopark. In spite of the natural beauty that Batur has,
there are a lot problems that can reduce and even destroy the beuaty of the geopark. First, there are illegal sand mining and rock stealing.
Illegal sand mining can cause a serious problem because it will damage the
environment. . At the foot of the north mountain area has long been dredging
the bowels of the earth increasingly severe. Sand that had been overgrown with
beautiful fir trees now become extinct population. It is not possible a few
years into the future, the people in the region will experience similar disaster like what has
happned in Lapindo case. The possibility
of more severe because it occurred at the foot of the volcano. It means that
out is not just mud, but lava. So the government should work hand in hand with the community to
stop the sand mining and rock stealing
to keep the preservation of mount Batur. If it is not urgently stopped, It will
be like killing the goose with the golden egg, The Batur area will be ceased to
be global geopark, and the visitors will move somewhere else like going to
China where this country really preserve its own Geopark.
Besides that, there are several annoying vendors
that disturb the visitors around Mount Batur. Actually it can decrease the
visitor of mount Batur because the visitors can’t enjoy the scenery and the
serenity of Batur because the annoying vendors chase impatiently the visitors
until they want to buy their products. The government should give socialization
to the vendors to sell their products in their stalls and make a strict regulation
to the annoying vendors.
Beside those problem above, there is also problem
like visitors and also the local people still throw the plastic garbage to the
nature. And the local people burn the plastic rubbish on their back garden. If
it is not stop it will degrade the quality of the environment nearby the
geopark and it can also destroy the peacefulness of the Geopark. So the government must provide enough garbage
bins around the Area and encourage the visitors and the local people not to
throw and burn the garbage into nature.
Ladies and gentleman, those are the problem that
happen around mount Batur, Batur caldera and the surrounding
area which are part of the UNESCO Global
Geopark Network. The challenges remain as the provincial and regional
administrations have yet to fully regulate the ongoing illegal quarrying in the
area. As the final consequence, UNESCO will evaluate the area and could revoke
the geopark status if its requirements have not been fulfilled. So if we want
the UNESCO still admit mount Batur as Global Geopark Network, we should keep
the preservation and increase the facility that can make a betterment of the
Batur Geopark
Looking at
the problem above Then I would like to
give some suggestion so that Geopark can bring prosperity to the people of
Bangli.
First, The
government should give other job
opportunities to the local miners as to work in tourism sector. The government
can also add spa facilities which utilize sources of hot water around that area.
The government should also provide training for the effective use of the stones
in Batur, Rather than it is sold cheaply for the housing material, the small
rock of stones can be formed into interesting statues that can be worth of 1
truck of stone, so that it will make more income to the local people and
without massively destroying the nature.
The government should do regular reforestation for the bold forest on
that area, because regular reforestation not only help to keep the balance of
nature but also make the scenery more beautiful that can attract the visitors
to come. Provide enough garbage bins because if the visitors difficult to find
the garbage bins, they will lazy to look for it and finally they just throw the
plastic garbage into the nature. Limited facilities, a lack of hygiene and cleanliness in the
area are the other reasons that made travel agents reluctant to take their
clients there.
Then, I would
like to give some suggestion to the students. Let’s study hard so that we just won’t be a poor
servant on our rich house. Most of hotel managers in Bali are not local people,
and most of us just become a low class staff.
It happens because we do not study hard to fight for that Tourim cheese
so that we can’t live prosperously on
our beautiful island..
Ladies and gentleman that’s all of my speech, May all people in Bangli become prosperous through the sustainable development of Batur Geopark, And God Bless you all
