Biodiversity Important Area 11 - Curug Walet




Curug Walet terletak di kedua sisi Sungai Cirumamis, yang merupakan hilir dari Curug Walet; seluas sekitar 24,8 hektar (ha). Sebagian besar daerah ini adalah hutan alam terdegradasi di tebing curam. Empat spesies penting telah dicatat yaitu Siamang Jawa, Lutung Jawa, Trenggiling, dan Macan Tutul.

Ancaman yang akan terjadi ke BIA ini adalah daerah Curug Walet ini akan digabungkan untuk menjadi Lower Dam Reservoir. Konstruksi Power House bawah tanah berada di sekitar jarak 0,5 km, namun mempunyai beberapa efek. Rekomendasi yang dibutuhkan untuk BIA ini antara lain sebagai berikut.

1. Avoid and minimize impacts where possible. 
2. Expand the available amount of habitat by replanting areas connecting BIA‐11 with BIA‐7, BIA‐10, and BIA‐9. 
3. Remove seedlings prior to inundation. 
4. Plant greenbelt around reservoir. 
5. Plant greenbelt along Cirumamis River. 
6. Install rope bridges and culverts across roads and similar infrastructure to facilitate wildlife movements. 

Relevant BMP actions: 3, 11, 12, 28, 15, 16, 17, 24, 26, 35, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45, 47, 53, 54.
