Tough but Caring (Badan Tempe, Hati Sagu) and Conservation of Cyclops
Landslides and floods are common threats for the people living around the Cyclops Mountains. Every time heavy rains hit the region, the people fear that the same catastrophe in 2007 will happen again. Prayers were offered, hoping that it will never happen again. The people’s concern, of course, is understandable as the Cyclops Mountain is in critical condition. For example the critical area of the sub-watershed regions of Sentani (Hubay) has reached 819 hectares (43.1% of the total area). This is also due to the large population occupying the area of the Cyclops Mountain for agriculture activities in which at least 5,230 farmers live and cultivate the land in the Cyclops region.
