Penghijauan dan Pelestarian Lingkungan di Kawasan Wisata Batu Santek Desa Pakuan Kecamatan Narmada Lombok Barat

Abstract

Batu Santek Tourism is a natural tourist destination located in Pakuan Village, Narmada
District. Its location is highly strategic, as it is not far from the main road, making it easy for
visitors from various regions to come and enjoy the natural beauty. The main attraction of this site
is the waterfall view and the serene rural atmosphere that characterizes the area.However, it is
unfortunate that environmental preservation around the tourist area has not yet been maximized,
as there has been little tree planting to enhance the landscape and maintain the ecosystem. The
total area of this tourist site is 5,000 square meters, most of which consists of yards and open land
suitable for greening activities, especially the planting of shade trees and ornamental plants. Based
on a survey, the types of plants suitable for this area include 100 red shoot trees (Syzygium
myrtifolium), 50 eucalyptus trees (Melaleuca leucadendra), and 30 ketapang kencana trees
(Terminalia mantaly). The main goal is to plant trees to maintain the area's lushness while utilizing
the ecological functions of plants, such as providing shade, absorbing pollutants, and producing
oxygen. It is hoped that this tree-planting activity will become a positive tradition for the local
community, thereby supporting the sustainability of Batu Santek tourism through the planting of
red shoot, eucalyptus, and tree saplings in strategic points across the tourist area.
