Ecology of Bedugul Basin in Bali

---

Mountain forest has become the last sanctuary for most of Bali's biodiversity, as well as the whole of Java Island. This ecosystem is important given that most of the lowland forests in Indonesia have been disturbed and degraded. Forest areas in the Bedugul Basin are among the remaining tropical mountain rainforests in Bali and they play significant roles in maintaining the ecosystem, preventing erosion, preserving biodiversity, and functioning as a water source and buffer zone for the surrounding areas including the lower areas of Bali.

However, mountain rainforests are becoming more and more threatened as its extent and vegetation cover have declined due to the increased human activities, climate change and natural disasters. This is also true for Bedugul, especially in forest areas near Beratan and Buyan Lakes, and also Mt. Pohen, which are increasingly exposed to tourism activities and other anthropogenic disturbances. Hence, ecological research in these areas of Bedugul Basin is needed to assess and also anticipate any potential changes so that its natural resources could be protected and sustained in the era of changing climate.
