Balthasar Kambuaya, Minister of Environmental Affairs assessed that since Independence, Indonesia has failed to prosper its citizens. It is mainly caused by lack of understanding the correlation between ecoregions and development policies.
Balthasar underlined the importance of ecoregions for drafters of development policies during the launching of Jakarta’s ecoregion, Tuesday (4/5), by stating, “Without this crucial data and information [ecoregion], the implemented development policies may fail.”
Ecoregion is a unified ecosystem where it encompasses the interaction between humans and nature, such area usually has similar characteristics in climate, soil, water, flora, and fauna.
According to the Minister, ecoregion information may become the basis for regional governments in determining their natural resources policies. Not only that, it is also useful in determining the environment carrying capacity.
“The concept of ecoregions can answer and bridge development plans, spatial planning, and living environment considerations,” he explained.
A patron of Balthasar’s view is Priyadi Kardono, Deputy of Thematic Geospatial Information at the Geospatial Information Agency (Badan Informasi Geospasial).
Priyadi affirmed that ecoregion maps is essential to determine regional spatial planning, additionally it must be a reference in spatial planning management.
On the other hand, Adiguna Wibisono, environmental law lecturer at Universitas Indonesia stated that spatial planning does not directly correlate with ecoregion. Both matters are differently classified under Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environment.
“There is a correlation, but by law they are two different things,” Adiguna concluded.
