Water Tank Pump Valve for The Community

Instagram Digugat Karena Bikin Remaja Ketagihan

Salah satu program utama RPJMD Kalimantan Timur 2021-2024 adalah pengarusutamaan target pembangunan air minum dan penyehatan lingkungan. Hal ini mengingat air merupakan salah satu kebutuhan primer bagi makhluk hidup tidak terkecuali manusia. Selain itu air juga merupakan elemen yang sangat penting untuk menunjang kesehatan manusia. Dalam perjalanan panjang ini, perusahaan telah menginisiasi dan mengimplementasikan program instalasi air bersih pada tahun 2013-2016, membuka pintu perubahan signifikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat.

Melihat pentingnya akses tersebut, untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut pemerintah Kalimantan Timur mendorong agar multi pihak seperti pemerintah terkait, sektor swasta dan masyarakat untuk aktif untuk berpartisipasi dan berkolaborasi mewujudkan ketersediaan akses air 100% dapat dicapai di tahun 2024. Namun, seperti yang seringkali terjadi dalam perjalanan perubahan, tantangan baru selalu menanti.Melalui upaya monitoring yang cermat, kerusakan pada valve pompa tangki air di Desa Long Lalang terungkap, sementara tanda-tanda korosi juga muncul pada fasilitas tangki air di beberapa desa lainnya.

Implementasi kolaborasi PT REA Kaltim Plantations & Group dengan program akses air bersih, melalui instalasi tangki air. Dengan adanya program tersebut masyarakat di Desa Long Lalang memiliki jaminan penuh dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan sehari-hari terhadap air bersih. Akan tetapi, seiring dengan pemakaian yang telah berlangsung lama serta minimnya pengelolaan secara berkala oleh masyarakat di Desa Long Lalang, saat ini valve pompa tangki air mengalami kerusakan, misalnya korosi. Sehingga pompa tangki air tidak berjalan dengan baik.

Melalui kerjasama PT REA Kaltim Plantations & Group dengan tim maintenance mill dari Cakra Oil Mill (COM), langkah-langkah konkrit diambil. Pemasangan valve baru menjadi tanda komitmen nyata untuk menjaga kualitas air bersih di desa ini. Masyarakat Desa juga berencana untuk melakukan pengecatan ulang secara swadaya dan bergotong-royong di level Desa, yang menjadi sebuah bukti nyata semangat gotong royong yang tak lekang oleh waktu. Sehingga melalui kegiatan tersebut dapat menumbuhkan rasa kepemilikan untuk terus mengelola terhadap fasilitas yang telah diberikan oleh PT REA Kaltim Plantations & Group.

Selain Desa Long Lalang, program instalasi air bersih yang sebelumnya telah diberikan kepada Desa-desa di wilayah Kecamatan Kembang Janggut dan Kecamatan Tabang pada periode 2013 hingga 2016. Melalui program tersebut diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap target besar di level Pemerintah Provinsi maupun Nasional terkait fasilitasi air bersih, sebagaimana yang tertuang dalam kesepakatan sustainable development goals 2030. Selanjutnya diharapkan dengan adanya program tersebut dapat mengedukasi masyarakat di level desa mengenai pentingnya penggunaan air bersih dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, melalui pemasangan valve pompa tangki air dan pengecatan ulang fasilitas, Desa Long Lalang membuktikan bahwa dengan langkah kecil namun bersatu, perubahan besar dapat terwujud. Kemudian, kegiatan tersebut juga menjadi bukti konkret komitmen kepedulian PT REA Kaltim Plantations & Group selaku sektor swasta dalam memecahkan tantangan lingkungan maupun sosial serta implementasi kolaborasi multipihak di level tapak.

REA Kaltim Takes Home “Best HCVA Management” Award

PT REA Kaltim Plantations Awarded as Best Company Managing High Conservation Value Areas in Plantation Area

As part of R.E.A Holdings Plc which is engaged in oil palm plantations, PT REA Kaltim Plantations is aware of the importance of biodiversity, its habitat, social and cultural responsibility which must be maintained for business continuity and environmental sustainability. This includes conservation actions to use and maintain natural resources that are owned wisely so that they can continue to be used into the future. For PT REA Kaltim Plantations, this action is not a process that can be done instantly. Therefore, efforts and awareness are needed as early as possible to target and achieve this mission.


PT REA Kaltim Plantations has been doing this for years, in 2007, before other oil palm plantation companies started this initiative. Mrs. Suimah, as Head of Conservation at REAKON said, “All these activities are aimed at maintaining and increasing conservation values, preventing negative impacts from plantation operation activities and other disturbances such as animal attacks on settlements. This can occur due to loss of habitat, to the explosion of pest populations both in plantations such as rats and squirrels, or in society such as the appearance of the Macaca Fascicularis dan Macaca Nemestrina. This is also done to establish partnerships with various parties including the surrounding community, companies, related governments, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), and academics.”

Due to decades of commitment, on January 9, 2023, PT REA Kaltim Plantations was awarded the “Best Company Managing High Conservation Value Area in Plantation Area” in commemoration of the 66th Anniversary of East Kalimantan Province. At the same event, PT REA Kaltim Plantations also won two other awards, namely the best Livable House Program and Compliance of Paying Surface Water Tax.


This awards was also won due to the implementation of East Kalimantan Provincial Regulation No. 7 of 2018 Concerning Sustainable Plantation Development which accommodates the protection of HCV Areas (endangered animals and its habitat, environmental services, and socio-cultural) which are then detailed in the East Kalimantan Governor Regulation No. 12 of 2021 Concerning Criteria for HCV Areas and East Kalimantan Governor Regulation No. 43 of 2021 Concerning Management of High Conservation Value Areas in Plantation Areas.


In 2022, 360 species were recorded in the conservation area of PT REA Kaltim Plantations & Group in 6 classes, namely 47 species of mammals, 148 species of aves, 32 species of reptiles, 33 species of amphibian, 50 species of lepidoptera, and 40 species of pisces. As stated by Mrs. Suimah, “In addition to environmental and socio-cultural services, the number of species recorded is part of the evaluation in obtaining this award and submitted in periodic reports.”


Through this achievement, PT REA Kaltim Plantations will continue to be committed to and maintain smallholder partnerships in managing their own oil palm plantations with sustainable practices.
