Four Brothers Conservation Raflesia

Bulletin board mounted on the roadside. Passing motorists or tourists passing nature-connecting road Kepahiang Bengkulu City would be interested and stop.

"Surely they would stop and ask us to show that the middle flower that blooms," said Burmansyah.

Strong desire to preserve and maintain Raflesia appeared in 1998. In that year they found the corpse flower Amorphophallus titanum left between degraded land in protected forest near their home.

They save the tuber Amorphophallus and brought it home in the village dam Monok. Tubers weighing 65 pounds they are cracked and planting again so that it becomes a new plant.

From saving it until now, they have planted four of the 11 endemic species that grow Amorphophallus in Sumatra. Amorphophallus initial rescue was finally encouraged them to also save arnoldii Rafflesia flower. Moreover, interest rates had been designated as endangered by the Presidential Decree No. 4 of 1993.

Custody rates

Zul said, in 1998-2000 they went back in and out of protected forest. They look for the dots grown Raflesia, make barracks guarding the base and learn the self-taught pembungaannya process.

"That year, in fact, until now, there are just ignorant and destructive Raflesia," said Zul.

Zul told, in 1998, precisely when takbiran night, she was only two hours left Raflesia the middle of bloom. On returning to base he built near the flower that blooms, he found 85 centimeters in diameter flowers were gone.

In addition, they also often find that ignorant people put out flowers, chop-chopped flower petals, roots and even cut flowers to die. "I'm very upset at that time," said Zul.

However, as their sincere intentions, activities seek growth point, keeping the buds to bloom, and learn Rafflesia arnoldii still they do. As a conservationist independent and do not get funding from anywhere, keeping Raflesia activities they do after completing the work in their gardens or fields.

Four brothers were also still willing to share the happiness to see and observe Raflesia if only for a moment. Every time a flower blooms, they must inform them.

Thousands of foreign and domestic tourists, who come to visit the dam Monok, must be guided by four brothers asked to see Raflesia in the woods. To this day, there are 21 points that they grow Raflesia guard.

"If the location where the 21 point growth was confirmed safe, the terrain is difficult and far from the road," said Zul.

Zul said, looking directly arnoldii Rafflesia, in addition to foster care, as well as well as straighten the understanding of society. During this community understand Raflesia as dead flowers and it's wrong. Corpse flower is Amorphophallus titanum.

Trial

In 2003 four brothers Amorphophallus move the conservation area to garden land at the edge of the road cross-Kepahiang Bengkulu City, Village dam Monok, Kepahiang. The land behind the house Zul it was obtained from both their parents, Syamsudin (70) and Sihawati (65), as a form of support for the activities of their children. With the land, they also can grow Raflesia dream.

Jumadi said, in 2006, when deciding to form a group of conservationists named TPPL, they've studied Raflesia grow on the trunk or liana which fell on the ground and rooted, rather than from spores. It also stems grow close to the source water or in soil containing water.

"Once the length of time it takes an interest Raflesia to bloom a few days," said Jumadi.

When TPPL formed and confident with their observations over the years, four brothers trying to grow the stem liana Raflesia that, in the garden behind the house Zul. They are made from stem cuttings and planted them in plastic bags (polybags). Some cuttings are now grown.

Unfortunately, conservation efforts had not received a response from the local government or province of Bengkulu Kepahiang. However, conservation measures TPPL already get a response from the Natural Resources Conservation Center (KSDA) Bengkulu. BKSDA assess positive action and support them. While still limited Kepahiang Pemkab TPPL propose as the recipient of Kalpataru 2010.

They do not get your hopes up on aid. Four brothers clung to sincere intention, to preserve the Rafflesia arnoldii now almost extinct.
