Abstract

The karst ecosystem of the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve in Tuban Regency, East Java, plays a vital role as a water reservoir, carbon sink, and biodiversity hub. However, uncontrolled deforestation and human activities have disrupted the ecological balance, threatening the flora and fauna, as well as the local groundwater reserves. This study documents a collaborative restoration program initiated by PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Pembangkit Tanjung Awar-Awar (UPTA), in partnership with the East Java BBKSDA (National Resources Conservation Agency) and the Tuban Regency Environmental Agency. The program aimed to rehabilitate the karst ecosystem through the planting of 1,000 endemic trees, which are Ficus benjamina and Ficus macrocarpa. These trees were chosen for their high-water absorption capacity and ecological suitability to the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve. We implemented an innovative protection technique called “Ficus in Shield” by constructing cylindrical galvanized sheet metal under the tree trunks. This procedure was implemented to protect the saplings from damage by porcupines. The results show a measurable increase in biodiversity, evidenced by an increase in the Shannon-Wiener Biodiversity Index, and are expected to improve groundwater retention and ecosystem resilience. Beyond the ecological benefits, this initiative emphasizes the importance of public-private collaboration in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. These findings highlight that endemic-based reforestation, combined with adaptive protection methods, is expected to effectively restore longdegraded karst ecosystems and serve as a model for sustainable conservation both in the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve and elsewhere.

Abstract

Problem sampah masih tetap menjadi permasalahan serius bagi masyarakat. Walaupun secara hukum pengaturan mengenai lingkungan yang bersih dan sehat telah ada, namun dalam praktiknya kondisi lingkungan tetap rawan mengalami pencemaran, termasuk karena keberadaan sampah. Masyarakat Desa Umbul Tanjung juga menghadapi problem sampah, yang jika tidak tertangani dengan baik, maka berpotensi pula menimbulkan dampak negatif, baik terhadap kesehatan masyarakat bahkan terhadap hasil tangkapan ikan para nelayan di Desa Umbul Tanjung. Kajian ini akan membahas mengenai kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh tim Fakultas Hukum Universitas Pancasila yang ditujukan untuk mengatasi persoalan sampah. Kegiatan tersebut lantas menawarkan beberapa alternatif solusi untuk mengatasi problem sampah di Desa Umbul Tanjung yang mengedepankan sinergi antara aspek sosial, hukum, dan teknologi ramah lingkungan.
