This research was carried out in the oil palm plantation of PT. MuliaSawitAgro Lestari (PT. MSAL) Gunung Mas Regency Central Kalimantan Province for 3 months starting in January 2019 until March 2019. The purpose of this study was to identify the potential of microorganisms as biofertilizers from palm oil mill effluent (PKS). This research is an exploratory study conducted in the Laboratory of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Muhammadiyah University of Palangka Raya. This study used 3 (three) media used to identify the potential of microorganisms for biofertilizer from palm oil liquid waste by calculating the number of bacterial colonies namely Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC), pykovskaya media and Yeast Extract Mannitol Agar (Yema) media. The results of the analysis also showed that PKS liquid waste contained potential microorganisms found were phosphate solvent bacteria, cellulite fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria with an average bacterial colony of 1,700,000 cells/mL. Potential microorganisms from the proportion obtained showed the ability of bacteria found in PKS liquid waste to degrade the oil. The first and second samples of bacterial forms identified were in the form of bacilli and were gram-positive bacteria, while the samples of the three bacteria were in the form of coccus and the bacteria were gram-negative bacteria.

Forest Fire Management

Forest fire is one of environmental problem happens in Central Kalimantan. The fire does not only damage the forest ecosystem and biodiversity but also threaten the health and socio-economic of local people. Forest fire in Central Kalimantan is widely known as human-made, such as the process of shifting cultivation and land clearing. The expansion of forest into palm oil plantation is often blamed as the cause of forest fire since the forest clearing involves a massive amount of fires. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether the existence of palm oil cultivation contributes to the occurrence of forest fires. We used satellite imagery of hotspot, and overlay it with the land use data to generate the fire risk zone map using geographic information system (GIS) method. Through the map, the risk of fire can be monitored in advance to help the fire authority provide the act of mitigation. The result of this study suggested that risk mapping is vital for forest fire management to mitigate the spread of forest fire. The region to be fire-prone within the palm oil cultivation is suggested to form a preventive act through active forest-fires monitoring. In sum, this study is expected to provide a map of forest fires' risk around the cultivation area, mainly palm oil plantation, and help the fire authorities as well as stakeholders to identify the risk zone for fires prevention in the future.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Indonesia`s Palm oil industry is the greatest export commodity in the world. Palm oil industry has been developed since Soeharto`s administration with World Bank`s initiative. Indonesia`s development pattern is modernization which is fully supported by global capitalist agent. Furthermore, the government of Indonesia has issued policies to support this industry and the ease of accessibilty for investor to build in Indonesia. Most of the policies focus on economic interest with lack of attention to social and environmental issues. The paper applies qualitative method to analyze through literature studies and depth interview. As a result, the writer attempt to discuss the relationship of various concepts and theories regards to Resistency, Modernization and The Modern World-System theory. In fact, Indonesia as palm oil producer do not have bargaining power to determine the price due to global politic has structured to limit profit. Meanwhile, Central Kalimantan has the negative impact of environment and society that caused by palm oil industry. Tanjung Pusaka villagers refuse their region to be transform as palm plantation because they believe that their life is better now that being part of plantation. The purpose of this paper is to explain how villagers have capability of resistance for the sake of social life and environmental preservation.<br />Keywords: Palm, Indonesia, industry, policies, Central Kalimantan</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Industri minyak sawit Indonesia merupakan komoditas ekspor terbesar di dunia saat ini. Industri minyak sawit telah dibangun sejak kepemimpinan Soeharto yang didukung oleh Bank Dunia. Pola pembangunan Indonesia adalah modernisasi yang disokong oleh agen kapitalis global. Lebih lanjut, Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengeluarkan kebijakan untuk mendukung industri minyak sawit dan memberikan kemudahan bagi investor untuk berinvestasi di sektor ini. Kebijakan-kebijakan tersebut hanya fokus terhadap kepentingan ekonomi dan minimnya perhatian terhadap isu sosial dan lingkungan hidup. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk menganalisa melalui studi literatur dan wawancara mendalam. Hasilnya, penulis berusaha mendiskusikan hubungan antara beragam konsep dan teori mengenai Resistensi, Modernisasi dan Teori Sistem Dunia. Faktanya, Indonesia sebagai produsen minyak sawit tidak memiliki kekuatan untuk menentukan harga karena politik global yang telah dibentuk untuk membatasi keuntungan yang didapatkan. Sementara itu, provinsi Kalimantan Tengah mengalami dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan hidup dan sosial yang disebabkan oleh industri minyak sawit. Warga Dusun Tanjung Pusaka menolak wilayahnya dijadikan perkebunan sawit karena mereka yakin hidupnya akan lebih baik dibandingkan menjadi bagian dari perkebunan sawit. Tujuan penulisan ini paper ini untuk menjelaskan bagaimana masyarakat desa mampu melakukan upaya resistensi demi kepentingan sosial dan pelestarian lingkungan hidup.<br />Kata kunci: Sawit, Indonesia, industri, kebijakan, Kalimantan Tengah</p>

IntisariTanaman Kelapa Sawit (Elais sp) adalah sumber utama minyak nabati sesudah kelapa di Indonesia. Tanaman tersebut merupakan komoditi andalan ekonomi Indonesia karena selain merupakan penghasil devisa, kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu alternatif upaya peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui pembukaan lapangan pekerjaan dan lapangan usaha. Distribusi tanaman kelapa sawit di Indonesia dapat dijumpai di setiap pulau seperti Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi dan Jawa. Pada tahun 2013, dari total luas perkebunan kelapa sawit sebesar 9,14 juta hektar, sekitar 65% berada di pulau Sumatera, disusul Kalimantan (31%), Sulawesi (3%), kemudian Jawa dan Papua di bawah satu persen. Tanaman kelapa sawit tergolong ke dalam tanaman xerophyte yang dapat beradaptasi dengan kondisi air yang kurang, walaupun demikian tanaman tetap akan mengalami gejala stres air pada saat musim kemarau yang berkepanjangan. Salah satu upaya untuk mengantisipasi musim kemarau panjang dan kebakaran lahan yaitu dengan melakukan Teknologi Modifikasi Cuaca (TMC). Penerapan TMC di Indonesia sudah dilakukan sejak tahun 1979 dengan berbagai tujuan, yaitu menambah curah hujan untuk mengatasi kekeringan, pengisian air waduk untuk irigasi dan PLTA; mengurangi curah hujan untuk mengatasi banjir; longsor; dan mengurangi kabut asap akibat kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Simulasi proyeksi curah hujan dengan skenario pelaksanaan TMC 120 hari dilakukan di wilayah Riau, Kalimantan Tengah dan Sumatera Utara sebagai daerah dengan luas perkebunan sawit terbesar di Indonesia. Hasil dari simulasi tersebut adalah menghitung besarnya jumlah curah hujan tahunan yang dapat dihasilkan apabila dilakukan TMC 120 hari pada bulan April-Mei 2014 dan Agustus-September 2014 dengan asumsi tingkat pertambahan hujan ketika berada pada periode penyemaian awan sebesar 30%. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi curah hujan dengan skenario pelaksanaan TMC 120 hari, untuk wilayah Riau akan didapatkan penambahan curah hujan sebesar 198 mm/tahun, wilayah Kalimantan Tengah sebesar 254 mm/tahun dan wilayah Sumatera Utara sebesar 233 mm/tahun. Abstract Palm (Elais sp) is the main source of vegetable oil after coco in Indonesia. This plant is mainstay commodity of Indonesia because in addition to foreign exchange earner, palm oil is one alternative efforts to improve the welfare of society through the opening of employment and business field. Distribution of palm oil plantations in Indonesia can be found in every island like Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Java. In 2013, total area of palm oil plantations amounted to 9.14 million hectares, approximately 65% were on the island of Sumatra, Kalimantan followed (31%), Sulawesi (3%), then Java and Papua under one percent.  Palm oil plants belonging to the plant xerophyte that can adapt to conditions that are less water, however the plant will continue to experience symptoms of water stress during the long dry season. One effort to anticipate the long dry season and forest fires by performing the Weather Modification Technology. Application of this technology in Indonesia have been carried out since 1979 with a variety of purposes, namely to rain enhancement to overcome drought, filling water reservoirs for irrigation and hydropower; reduce rainfall to overcome floods; landslides; and reduce smog from forest fires and land.  Simulation of rainfall projection with applying weather modification technology for 120 days in Riau, Central Kalimantan, and North Sumatra as the area with the largest palm oil plantations in Indonesia. Result of this simulation is to calculate the amount of annual rainfall if weather modification for 120 days applied in April-May 2014 and AugustSeptember 2014, assuming growth rate when cloud seeding period is 30%. Based on this simulation resulted for Riau regoin will get additional rainfall 198 mm/year, Central Kalimantan Region 254 mm/year and North Sumatra Region 233 mm/year

Forest Law

Amid the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations, the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry finds its authority over the forested areas (kawasan hutan) under pressure and continues to pursue strategies to legally maintain the areas within its jurisdiction. Combining insights from legal studies with political economy, this article applies the concept of “political forests” to contemporary contestations and the development of “rule of law” in relation to Indonesia's forested areas. Establishing legal certainty and “rule of law” are widely asserted to be important but never fully achieved. Two cases demonstrate this: the first focuses on the negotiated resolution of overlapping permits in thekawasan hutanbetween the center and the region in Central Kalimantan Province. The second examines the maneuvers of the Ministry of Forestry to (re)assert its authority overkawasan hutanby classifying palm oil as a tree crop. The article concludes that the widespread quest for certainty and rule of law is quixotic because it ignores the realities of political economy, including social conflict, beneath the veneer of law.

The importance of the ecological and forest conservation of Dayak communities in Central Kalimantan as the support of indigenous communities is not only based on capital and natural resources to meet their needs in the simplest sense, but also in the local philosophy of crisp tree sustainability and balance of God, nature, and human relationships. The global need to meet the market demand for vegetable oil leads to massive expansion of land, environment, and society, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. This is a debate why these plants can only grow in the tropics, especially in areas passed by the equator. This raises many questions if such expansion attacks in place or region of developed countries like what? how do they handle emerging problems? Regardless of the question, this study only illustrates the contradiction, the idea of the idea of how to protect the environment between local and global values. Hinting pali is a media of Dayak community resistance to ecology and defense disputes related to the existence of the Palm Oil Company [PBS] in Central Kalimantan to the Dayak community. This ritual represents abstinence and prohibition [pali]. This ritual as a message of Dayak community wants to find a win-win solution to conflict and defense dispute between the local community and PBS. The hinting rituals of the Dayak Ngaju community, especially Hindu Kaharingan still grow and develop. Hinting pali as an oral tradition can be used as an effective medium of resistance, especially in conveying their message and protest against ecology and land annihilation by PBS. Hinting pali performance as a Dayak Kaharingan community resistance ritual in Central Kalimantan can express their thoughts and feelings about culture, history, customs, human relationships with the environment and God. They can also use hinting pali to express warnings "to determine the future of the community and express their feelings to ecological conditions, or other social problems". By using hinting pali, PBS entrepreneurs cannot marginalize ideas about how to protect their environment because they exist.
