Climate changes
The recent major floods that struck Bali served as an important reminder: nature cannot be endlessly suppressed. Minister of Environment, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, after a coordination meeting regarding the floods in Denpasar on Saturday (September 13, 2025), emphasized that the main cause of the disaster was the loss of forests along the river basin areas (DAS), particularly in the Ayung River Basin.
Minister Hanif stated that since 2015, around 459 hectares of forest in Bali have been lost due to land conversion into settlements, villas, and plantations. As a result, out of the total 49,500 hectares of the Ayung River Basin, only 1,500 hectares or 3% remain forested. Ideally, to withstand water discharge, forest cover should reach 30%.
It is not surprising that when extreme rainfall reached 245 mm in a single day, Bali faced significant challenges. However, the central government and the Bali Provincial Government are now committed to improving this condition. Reforestation, revegetation, and land conversion restrictions are now being discussed.
Bali Governor Wayan Koster emphasized that starting in 2025, restrictions on converting productive land for commercial purposes will take effect. The Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) also encourages spatial planning enforcement and river normalization to reduce flood risks.
In addition, the community is also invited to be more mindful. Waste management at home, reducing single-use plastics, and supporting environmental conservation policies are small steps that can make a big difference.
We at Jejakin are ensuring the safety and security of our partner teams located in Denpasar and its surroundings. We are also collecting data on the condition of trees that have been planted from 2022 to 2025. This data will be very important to see the extent to which the floods have affected the sustainability of Jejakin’s planting program.
Optimism remains: Bali can still recover if all parties work together. Let us protect forests, rivers, and the environment so that Bali’s future remains green, beautiful, and safe.
This event is a reminder of the importance of maintaining nature’s balance and strengthening conservation efforts.
It is time for us to take part by starting a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, such as reducing plastic use, protecting land, and planting trees in every available area. Every tree, every small action, can mean a lot for a safer and more sustainable future and support eco-friendly policies for a better Bali.
