JAKARTA - Hari ini, 11 tahun lalu sejumlah anak muda enerjik menggalang aksi kepedulian sosial disebagian besar wilayah Indonesia. Hal itu dilakukan untuk menyikapi respon krisis multidimensi yang berkembang pada tahun 1998.
Terbetik sebuah gagasan berupa entitas kepedulian publik yang dapat bergerak secara sistematis. Maka pada hari Jumat 10 Desember 1999 lahirlah lembaga sosial bernama Pos Keadilan Peduli Ummat (PKPU) dan hari itulah menjadi tonggak awal berdirinya PKPU.
Hari ini, Jumat (10/12/2010) PKPU kembali diingatkan betapa pentingnya sejarah dan perjalanan kepedulian PKPU, karena dari sejarah itulah kita bisa belajar dari keberhasilan dan kesalahan di masa lampau.
Kepedulian tidaklah dibatasi oleh usia kita. Kepedulian kita adalah Kepedulian Tanpa Batas. PKPU dengan SDM sebanyak 200 orang ditambah 1500 relawan, 16 cabang di 16 Provinsi serta 2 perwakilan PKPU di Malaysia dan Taiwan, PKPU terus berupaya menjadi lembaga terpercaya dalam membangun kemandirian.
Direktur Utama PKPU Agung Notowiguno mengatakan untuk aktivitas kemanusian, PKPU telah menyentuh seluruh Provinsi di Indonesia serta 8 negara seperti Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestina, Somalia, Rwanda, Ethiopia dan Sudan.
“Kita juga patut bersyukur, karena pada tahun 2008, PKPU telah terdaftar di PBB sebagai lembaga dengan status “Special Consultative Status” dari Economic and Social Council (Ecosoc),” ungkap Agung.
"Dalam kurun waktu 10 tahun (1999-2009), PKPU telah berhasil menghimpun dana masyarakat berupa dana ZIS, CSR serta dana Kemanusiaan baik dalam maupun luar negeri, sebesar Rp 300 Milyar,” pungkas Agung Notowiguno di ruang kerjanya di Jakarta. (PKPU/Acep)

Pengembangan Hutan Mangrove di Pantai Kamal Bangkalan
SURABAYA - Dalam dua dekade belakangan ini, telah terjadi degradasi hutan mangrove secara luas dengan tingkat yang sangat memprihatinkan. Berdasarkan data tahun 1984, Indonesia masih diyakini memiliki kawasan hutan mangrove seluas 4,25 juta ha, kemudian berdasar hasil interpetasi citra landsat (1992) luasnya tersisa 3,812 juta ha (Ditjen INTAG dalam Martodiwirjo, 1994).
Namun berdasar data Ditjen RLPS (1999) kawasan mangrove tersebut hanya tersisa 3,7 juta ha, itupun sekitar 42,3% nya dalam keadaan rusak parah. Mangrove non kawasan diperkirakan hanya sekitar 5,5 juta ha dengan 67,3% nya dalam keadaan rusak parah.
Karena itu pengembangan hutan mangrove diperlukan untuk kelestarian pantai. Langkah tersebut akan dilakukan Lembaga Kemanusiaan Nasional PKPU bersama PT PLN Penyaluran Dan Pusat Pengatur Beban (P3B) Jawa Bali.
Launching kerjasama program pengembangan hutan mangrove ini dilaksanakan pada Jumat (5/11/2010), di pantai Kamal Desa Tajungan, Kecamatan Kamal, Bangkalan. Selain untuk pelestarian llingkungan, program ini bertujuan untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat pesisir Pantai Kamal di Desa Tanjungan, Kecamatan Kamal, Kabupaten Bangkalan.
Acara yang berlangsung dari pukul 08.00-11.00 WIB ini diresmikan oleh General Manager PT PLN P3B Jawa Bali, Ir Jemjem Kurnaen Raharja J, MT, bersama Kepala Cabang PKPU Surabaya Romdlon Hidayat, MSSc.
Turut hadir dalam acara Manajer CSR Siswanto, Manajer Bidang Umum PLN P3B Jawa Bali Affandi, Manajer PLN P3B Region Jawa Timur Bali Tri Agus Cahyono dan Camat Kamal Rudiyanto SSos, serta disaksikan oleh masyarakat setempat. Dalam acara ini dilakukan penandatanganan MoU antara PKPU dan PT PLN P3B Jawa Bali dan penyerahkan bibit mangrove pada masyarakat sebagai simbolisasi acara.
Pengembangan hutan mangrove ini diharapkan akan terbentuk pengelolaan mangrove yang berkelanjutan dengan mengajak masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi secara aktif. Selain itu adanya peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat pesisir pantai Kamal, Bangkalan sehingga bisa mengangkat derajat perekonomian mereka dengan pengelolaan produk/hasil mangrove dan ekosistem pantai.
Kemudian tentunya adanya peningkatkan kesadaran, tanggung jawab dan peran serta masyarakat pesisir dalam menjaga ekosistem pantai khususnya meningkatkan kepedulian masyarakat terhadap keamanan kabel laut SUTT 150 kV di Selat Madura, Jawa Timur. (Tri/PKPU/Surabaya)

Kondisi Serta Kegiatan Posko Lapangan PKPU di Yogyakarta dan Magelang
YOGYAKARTA - Di tengah suasana langit yang putih berkabut, disertai guyuran debu yang tak henti berterbangan. Kota Yogyakarta seakan berubah menjadi kota di negeri eropa yang mengalami datangnya musim salju.
Disana-sini terlihat putih seperti tertutup salju, pepohonan, rumah, jalanan hingga semua benda-benda yang ada di luar semuanya sama, memutih dan seakan diam membisu. Semakin ke utara (arah merapi) ketebalan debu semakin terasa, pohon-pohon seakan keberatan menahan beban debu di tiap helai duan-daunnya.
