The morning, Yudi Amsoni heard the sound of the lead miner machine very clear and the distance is adjacent to the mangrove forest area as well as the river flow that he manages in Kuale Tambak Beach, Sukamandi Village, East Belitung, Bangka Belitung.

“Loh there’s nothing rich in deket, the sound of DAS’s back fitting machine (The River Flow), the back of the nih mangrove region,” the word of a skinny man was born in Jakarta.

Yudi Amsoni or known as Yudi Senga, is one of the mangrove guard figure in East Belitung region. The longest football is enough to make the land of illegal miners, the unwilling Yudi came and unemployed directly illegal miners even though the parangs or golok are the miners.

In the year 2022, the man who worked as the fishermen has experienced an incorporation by his own citizens due to posting and broadcasting directly the activities of the illegal mine of society. In fact, the house is to be carved by citizens and ask himself to leave the house and go from East Belitung.

However, the event does not massage his spirit in managing mangrove forest areas that are now remaining two hectares, while 60 hectares of other areas are mined by illegal miners.

“But I am not a nyerah gitu aja, because anyone else who wants to keep this nature, the person here wants to be extra money, 10am hours are still in the warkop, the nambang has money that day is out of that day,” Yudi said.

There is a spirit and concern in fighting the ultimate environment of the Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM) Indonesia as a Presidential form body in 2016 it began to support Yudi’s activities. BRGM besides building a literacy house in the area also gave mangrove seedlings to plant, but according to Yudi it has not given significant results.

He hopes the planting of mangrove by BRGM in East Belitung is precisely targeted so that it can minimize mangrove planted so that it is not dead because of its minimization and wrong planting location.

Yudi also hopes that BRGM remains running even though there will be a replacement of the leaders in the government, so there is a rehabilitation project in the efforts of mangrove forest rescue and peat.

For Yudi, the struggle will not massage until the age cap, for him to preserve mangrove forests can return the nyulo tradition (seeing crabs at night among mangrove plants) in East Belitung, so the preservation of the nature and culture of East Belitung as the village of the father's page remains preserved.
