Biodiversity Important Area 14 - Ciawitali
BIA-14 ini terletak desa Ciawitali, dengan luas sebesar 78,3 hektar (ha). Lahan yang luas, memiliki perkebunan yang subur dengan palm, bambu dan
hutan lereng dengan pohon pinus yang tinggi dengan banyak semak-semak. Lima spesies penting dilaporkan yaitu Macan Tutul, Babi Hutan, Kukang Jawa , Owa Jawa dan Lutung Jawa.
Kukang Jawa
Ancaman yang akan terjadi pada BIA ini dengan adanya proyek adalah tergenangnya daerah ini karena Lower Dam Reservoir, sebesar 23,8 hektar (ha), sehingga menyisakan 54,4 hektar (ha). Perpindahan ladang dari satu tempat ke tempat lain nya akan menyebabkan tanah terdegradasi. Ini adalah beberapa rekomendasi manajemen BMP untuk penanganan ancaman ini.
1. Avoid and minimize impacts where possible.
2. Plant greenbelt around reservoir.
3. Expand the area through reforestation and link it with BIA‐15.
4. Enrichment planting in degraded parts of this BIA.
5. Implement ICM program to deal with resettlement impacts, shifting land use and expansion of
forest habitats.
Relevant BMP actions: 3, 11, 12, 28, 15, 16, 17, 24, 26, 27, 35, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45, 47, 53, 54.
