Description

A teak plantation in South Borneo belongs to the Dayak Native people. Generally, most of the native people are farmers. They support themselves by farming on mountain slopes, planting rice in fields, and bananas and fruit trees. However, their gardens are often exposed or flooded, and landslides are triggered by natural conditions that have been changeable due to logging by timber companies. Random logging is still going on until now. Replacing empty land with teak and rubber trees is the best solution to prevent natural disasters. I enjoyed how widespread their plantations were when we made a Gospel mission trip to several villages on Meratus mountains - South Kalimantan last year. I used a few seconds to capture what I had seen with my small digital camera for artwork at home.

Bahasa Indonesia

Perkebunan jati di Kalimantan Selatan milik masyarakat asli Dayak. Umumnya masyarakat pribumi sebagian besar berprofesi sebagai petani. Mereka menghidupi diri mereka sendiri dengan bertani di lereng gunung, menanam padi di ladang, serta menanam pisang dan pohon buah-buahan. Namun, kebun mereka sering kali terkena banjir, dan tanah longsor dipicu oleh kondisi alam yang berubah-ubah akibat penebangan oleh perusahaan kayu. Penebangan liar masih berlangsung hingga saat ini. Mengganti lahan kosong dengan pohon jati dan karet merupakan solusi terbaik untuk mencegah bencana alam. Saya menikmati betapa luasnya perkebunan mereka ketika kami melakukan perjalanan misi Penginjilan ke beberapa desa di pegunungan Meratus – Kalimantan Selatan tahun lalu. Saya menggunakan beberapa detik untuk mengabadikan apa yang saya lihat dengan kamera digital kecil saya untuk dijadikan karya seni di rumah.
