Dalam sambutannya, Bupati Suwirta mengatakan betapa pentingnya pemanfaatan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan.

Apalagi ketika terjadi pandemi seperti sekarang, dan memberikan dampak buruk pada perekonomian.

" Mudah menciptakan sesuatu, yang sulit bagaimana merawatnya. Jadi betapa pentingnya sesuatu yang berkelanjutan. Apalagi ketika terjadi pandemi seperti sekarang, dan memberikan dampak buruk pada perekonomian. Masyarakat harus kembali mulat sarira, ingat sepi saat ramai," ungkap Suwirta.

Ketika pandemi covid-19 ini terjadi memberikan dampak yang cukup besar pada berbagai sektor, khususnya sektor pariwisata di Bali.

Sejak April 2020, semua bisnis yang berhubungan dengan industri pariwisata tidak beroperasi.

Dari hotel, restaurant, spa, hingga tempat tujuan wisata tutup, sebagian besar merumahkan karyawannya bahkan beberapa gulung tikar.

" Jangan sombong jika sektor pariwisata telah pulih. Karena ketika sektor pariwisata menghadapi tantangan seperti sekarang, banyak warga Bali tidak memiliki pendapatan, sehingga untuk membeli gas, kebutuhan sehari-hari, dan membayar tagihan listrik terasa berat," jelasnya.

Direktur Yayasan Wisnu, Ni Made Denik Puriati mengatakan, Lokakarya Multistakeholder ini bertujuan untuk menyebarluaskan informasi terutama terkait dengan energi terbarukan, pendidikan lingkungan dan pengelolaan sampah serta pengembangan desa wisata ekologis (DWE) sebagai upaya untuk menjawab tantangan baru yang dihadapi masyarakat Nusa Penida khususnya dan Bali pada umumnya.

Selain itu untuk membangun kerjasama, memadukan dan mensinergikan program-program yang telah dilakukan dengan program-program pemerintah, adat maupun swasta sehingga akan ada keterpaduan program antar pemangku kepentingan untuk mewujudkan keseimbangan pulau kecil Nusa Penida.

Adapun kegiatan yang sudah dan akan berjalan diantaranya pemetaan partisipatif dan profil desa, sosialisasi pembuatan kebun rumah tangga, penanaman penghijauan pakan ternak dan tanaman pewarna, pembinaan pengerajin produk tenun dan lukisan, budidaya jaringan rumput laut, ternak dan biogas, kampanye lingkungan hidup, sosialisasi pengelolaan sampah terpadu dan energi terbarukan (biogas dan solar panel) serta pendidikan lingkungan hidup.

Sejak tahun 2018, Yayasan Wisnu bersama mitra telah melakukan berbagai kegiatan antara lain pemetaan partisipatif di 4 lokasi awal yakni Banjar Mawan-Desa Batu Madeg, Dusun Batu Kandik II-Desa Batu Kandik, Banjar Tanglad-Desa Tanglad, Banjar Semaya-Desa Suana dan Desa Adat Nyuh Kukuh-Desa Ped.

Ada juga kegiatan terkait dengan pertanian organik, kebun pekarangan rumah tangga, agro forestry untuk tanaman pangan, upakara dan juga untuk kebutuhan pakan kera.

"Ada juga kegiatan untuk pengembangan rumput laut dan produk turunan, kegiatan mengembalikan pewarna alami untuk pewarna kain tenun cepuk dan rangrang serta produk turunan, kegiatan silvopastoral/ peternakan  untuk penanggulangan kelangkaan pakan ternak saat musim kering, meningkatkan gizi dan kesehatan ternak," jelas Ni Made Denik Puriati.

Pada bulan September 2020, ada 4 lembaga mitra yang masih bekerja untuk program Ecologic Nusa Penida.

Beberapa kegiatan yang masih intensif dilakukan pendampingan, yakni PPLH Bali untuk pendidikan lingkungan dan pengelolaan sampah, I Ni Timpal Kopi untuk  kegiatan penerapan energi bersih (energi surya dan biogas), Yayasan Taksu Tridatu untuk pengembangan Umah Melajah Bukit Keker sebagai tempat belajar tentang ecologic Nusa Penida

Lokakarya sesi pertama akan memberikan sebuah jawaban kesulitan energi di Nusa Penida. Seperti yang disampaikan oleh pakar PLTS (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya)  IGN Agung Putradhyana, bahwa PLN mensegel beberapa bisnis akomodasi di Nusa Lembongan karena mereka tidak mampu membayar tagihan. Sedangkan untuk akomodasi yang menggunakan PLTS, tetap memiliki aliran listrik.

Diana Surya berprofesi sebagai arsitek, menceritakan pengalamannya dalam menggunakan PLTS.

Dia merasa sangat terbantu sejak menggunakan PLTS. .

“Biaya instalasi yang lumayan besar, bisa diangsur melalui kredit energi di salah satu koperasi di Denpasar dan besarnya angsuran bisa disesuaikan dengan jumlah tagihan listrik rata-rata perbulan.” Imbuh seorang arsitek yang selalu meyakinkan kliennya untuk menggunakan PLTS tersebut.

Dia juga menambahkan, tentang dengan menggunakan PLTS ini juga mengajarkan kita untuk menghitung konsumsi riil kebutuhan akan listrik.

Lalu dilanjutkan membahas pengolahan sampah dan ekowisata desa, oleh Direktur PPLH Bali  Catur Yudha Hariani.

Ia  menjelaskan tentang problematika masyarakat  dalam membuang sampah.

Menurut Catur, kebiasaan masyarakat belum berubah hingga sekarang dalam membuang sampah di tegalan, bahkan secara sembarangan membakar sampahnya.

Sampai saat ini belum ada perusahaan ikut bertanggungjawab atas produksi sampahnya di Nusa Penida.

adahal sudah diatur dalam Peraturan Pemerintah nomor 81 Tahun 2012 tentang EPR (extended producer responsibility).

" Resiko tinggi pada penanganan sampah di pulau kecil seperti Nusa Penida adalah pengangkutan barang bekas keluar pulau. Disini peran perusahaan harus ikut dalam penanganannya melalui CSR-nya," ungkapnya.

Sementara salah satu founder JED, I Made Suarnata menjelaskan, pentinganya konsep desa wisata ekologis (DWE) di Nusa Penida.  Sehingga desa tidak tergiur dengan iming-iming investor luar yang kemungkinan justru mengeksploitasi potensi yang dimiliki, dan justru masyarakat mampu mengembangkan secara mendiri potensi ekologis diwilayahnya menjadi daya tarik wisata.

Tourism itu adalah bonus, bukan menjadi tujuan. Sehingga dalam kondisi pandemic seperti sekarang ini kehidupan masyarakat masih tetap berkelanjutan," ungkapnya

Lokakarya tersebut, juga dimeriahkan juga dengan penampilan Tari Burat Wangi dan Bondres yang dibawakan oleh anak-anak binaan Umah Melajah Bukit Keker.

Puluhan peserta yang hadir  sejak pagi sangat antusias dalam menanggapi dan mengajukan pertanyaan.

Tindak lanjut dari lokakarya ini, kedepan membuka peluang berjejaring dalam usaha pertanian organik dengan memanfaatkan kompos yang dihasilkan TPST dan konsultasi energi surya di beberapa hotel dan usaha hidroponik di Nusa Penida. (*)

TRIBUN-BALI.COM, SEMARAPURA – The cloudy weather that enveloped the Bukit Keker area, Banjar Nyuh Kukuh, Ped Village, Nusa Penida, did not dampen the intention of the Regent of Klungkung, Nyoman Suwirta, to open the Nusa Penida Ecologic Program Multistakeholder Workshop event organized by the Wisnu Foundation, JED, PPLH Bali and I Ni Timpal Kopi Community, Tuesday (22/9/2020) yesterday.

In his speech, Regent Suwirta said how important sustainable environmental use is.

Especially when there is a pandemic like now, and it has a negative impact on the economy.

"It's easy to create something, it's difficult to care for it. So how important is something sustainable. Especially when there is a pandemic like now, and it has a negative impact on the economy. "People have to return to mulat sarira, remember it's quiet when it's busy," said Suwirta.

When the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, it had a significant impact on various sectors, especially the tourism sector in Bali.

Since April 2020, all businesses related to the tourism industry are not operating.

From hotels, restaurants, spas, to tourist destinations, they are closed, most of them are laying off their employees and some are even going out of business.

"Don't be arrogant if the tourism sector has recovered. "Because when the tourism sector faces challenges like now, many Balinese have no income, so buying gas, daily necessities and paying electricity bills feels difficult," he explained.

Director of the Wisnu Foundation, Ni Made Denik Puriati said, this Multistakeholder Workshop aims to disseminate information especially related to renewable energy, environmental education and waste management as well as the development of ecological tourism villages (DWE) as an effort to answer new challenges faced by the people of Nusa Penida in particular and Bali. in general.

Apart from that, to build cooperation, combine and synergize programs that have been carried out with government, customary and private programs so that there will be program integration between stakeholders to create balance for the small island of Nusa Penida.

The activities that have been and will be ongoing include participatory mapping and village profiles, socialization on the creation of household gardens, planting green fodder and dye plants, coaching craftsmen for woven and painting products, cultivation of seaweed, livestock and biogas tissue, environmental campaigns, socialization on management integrated waste and renewable energy (biogas and solar panels) as well as environmental education.

Since 2018, the Wisnu Foundation together with partners have carried out various activities including participatory mapping in 4 initial locations, namely Banjar Mawan-Batu Madeg Village, Batu Kandik II Hamlet-Batu Kandik Village, Banjar Tanglad-Tanglad Village, Banjar Semaya-Suana Village and Village Nyuh Kukuh Customs-Ped Village.

There are also activities related to organic farming, household gardens, agro forestry for food crops, upakara and also for monkey food needs.

"There are also activities to develop seaweed and derivative products, activities to restore natural dyes for dyeing Cepuk and Rangrang woven fabrics and derivative products, silvopastoral/livestock activities to overcome animal feed shortages during the dry season, improve animal nutrition and health," explained Ni Made. Denik Puriati.

In September 2020, there were 4 partner institutions still working on the Ecologic Nusa Penida program.

Several activities that are still intensively assisted are PPLH Bali for environmental education and waste management, I Ni Timpal Kopi for activities to implement clean energy (solar energy and biogas), Taksu Tridatu Foundation for the development of Umah Melajah Bukit Keker as a place to learn about the ecology of Nusa Penida

The first session of the workshop will provide an answer to the energy difficulties in Nusa Penida. As stated by PLTS (Solar Power Plant) expert IGN Agung Putradhyana, PLN sealed several accommodation businesses in Nusa Lembongan because they were unable to pay their bills. Meanwhile, accommodation that uses PLTS still has electricity.

Diana Surya, who works as an architect, shares her experience in using PLTS.

He has felt very helped since using PLTS. .

"The installation costs, which are quite large, can be paid in installments through energy credit at one of the cooperatives in Denpasar and the amount of the installments can be adjusted to the average monthly electricity bill." Added an architect who always convinces his clients to use PLTS.

He also added that using PLTS also teaches us to calculate the real consumption of electricity needs.

Then continued discussing waste processing and village ecotourism, by the Director of PPLH Bali Catur Yudha Hariani.

He explained the community's problems in disposing of rubbish.

According to Catur, people's habits have not changed until now in throwing rubbish on the moor, and even carelessly burning the rubbish.

Until now, no company has taken responsibility for waste production in Nusa Penida.

However, it is regulated in Government Regulation number 81 of 2012 concerning EPR (extended producer responsibility).

"The high risk in handling waste on a small island like Nusa Penida is transporting used goods off the island. "Here the company's role must be to participate in handling it through its CSR," he said.

Meanwhile, one of the founders of JED, I Made Suarnata, explained the importance of the concept of ecological tourism villages (DWE) in Nusa Penida. So that villages are not tempted by the lure of outside investors who might actually exploit their potential, and instead the community is able to independently develop the ecological potential of their area to become a tourist attraction.

Tourism is a bonus, not a destination. "So that in a pandemic condition like now, people's lives can still be sustainable," he said

The workshop was also enlivened by the performance of the Burat Wangi and Bondres dances performed by the children assisted by Umah Melajah Bukit Keker.

Dozens of participants who attended since morning were very enthusiastic in responding and asking questions.

The follow-up to this workshop, in the future, will open networking opportunities in organic farming businesses by utilizing compost produced by TPST and solar energy consultations at several hotels and hydroponic businesses in Nusa Penida. (*)
