Attempt to smuggle rare crabs foiled in Jambi Jambi Police officers seized 2,935 horseshoe crabs, locally known as belangkas or mimi, in an operation on Friday. A truck loaded with the crabs, which are declared protected species by the government, was intercepted by the officers when it crossed into the Aur Duri area. Jambi Police spokesman AKBP Almansyah said the truck, with police number BK 9336 SF, was headed for Medan, North Sumatra, from Palembang, South Sumatra. “On Feb.14, the truck headed for Medan from Palembang. We have detained the truck driver, Oly Suwondo, and seized the crabs as evidence,” he said. According to Almansyah, during the interrogation, the driver said that the protected species belonged to a man with the initial M, while the identity of the intended recipient in Medan remained unknown. “The driver said he was told to bring the crabs to Medan. Once he arrived in Medan, he would receive further instructions about who he was to deliver the crabs to,” said Al- mansyah. He said the Jambi Police had coordinated with the Jambi Natural Resources Conserva- tion Agency (BKSDA) as the material evidence seized concerned protected species. BKSDA Jambi chief Tri Siswo confirmed the crabs seized by police during the operation were horseshoe crabs. “To make sure, we will send samples of the species to the Indonesian Institute of Sci- ences [LIPI],” he said. Meanwhile, Oly said he was paid Rp 3.5 million (US$362.24) for transporting the load to Medan. He claimed he did not know the load contained thousands of horseshoe crabs. “I didn’t even know they are protected species,” said Oly. In the delivery note, it was said that the load contained 2,935 horseshoe crabs. To de- ceive law enforcers, the sender placed the horseshoe crabs in sacks filled with snails. All of the tails of the horseshoe crabs were also cut so that they did not look like the protected species. “According to the BKSDA, we could determine whether they were horseshoe crabs by looking at their tails. Unfortunately, their tails were all cut,” said Almansyah. He said the perpetrators could face sanctions under Law No.5/1990 on natural resources and ecosystem conservation. (ebf).

Institutional Strengthening in Waste Management in Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang, Karo (Mebidangro)
Institutional Strengthening in Waste Management in Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang, Karo (Mebidangro) Hatta Ridho1, M. Arif Nasution2, Subhilhar3, Muryanto Amin4 1,2,3,4 University of Sumatera, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Keywords institutional strengthening; Weak coordination can also be seen in the achievement of cooperation agreements between regions in the Mebidangro area. mebidangro; waste area For example, how the weak coordination between Pemko Medan and Pemko Deli Serdang resulted in the closure of the TPA Namo Bintang in Pancur Batu sub-district, even though Presidential Decree No. 62/2011 has designated TPA Namo Bintang together with TPAatuh in Medan Marelan as a garbage landfill for residents of Medan city. Weak coordination certainly requires institutional strengthening that can ensure synergy among government ranks in the Mebidangro area to be able to overcome problems faced together. This research was conducted in the Mebidangro area by using qualitative which focused on the problems that existed at the time of the research or the actual problems as well as the facts about the problems being investigated as they were, accompanied by sufficient rational interpretation. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews and limited group discussions. The character of the Mebidangro implementing organs has not shown an orderly working mechanism, where the two main components of the character of the implementing organs, namely the SOP and the division of tasks / authorities between the provincial government and district / city governments as well as between district / city governments throughout the Mebidangro region do not exist.
