The leader of Kampung Sereh and the owner of customary rights on Mount Cycloop, Yanto Eluay, reveals a farm created by forest encroachers at the foot of Mount Cycloop, Sentani, Papua, on Friday (22/3/2019). Many trees on the slopes and the foot of the mountain were felled and the land was converted to agricultural purposes. Landslides that happened on the slopes of the mountain have the potential to create others

SENTANI, KOMPAS — The flash floods and landslides that killed 105 in Sentani district, Papua, were inseparable from the conversion of land into residential areas and plantations in the Cycloop Nature Reserve in Jayapura regency, Papua. The natural disasters should provide momentum to repair this environmental damage.

Observations at the nature reserve’s Post 7 on Friday (22/3/2019) showed landslide debris in the form of logs had been cut down with chainsaws. There were also uprooted tree trunks with clear marks of chainsaw cuts.
