SINGKIL CROCODILE TRIP
Singkil, the battle of the crocodile with the villagers in Aceh Singkil has not yet ended. Humans and crocodiles peek at each other. Who is careless is he who loses. Anger never goes out. Stakeholders are considered slow in handling land grabbing cases between crocodiles and humans. Between predatory food sources and sources of income for residents. Following the Singkil River, splitting the peat swamp area in Singkil Wildlife Reserve in an area of.more than 100,000 hectares, one crocodile appears to be in the trap of citizens. Not only that, 2 to 3 crocodiles are again visible. This justifies the suspicion of residents that estuarine crocodiles or in Latin crocodilus porosus have developed in the West Coast region of Aceh for decades. Aceh Singkil Swamp has become a habitat for estuarine crocodiles. The small crocodile is lifted from the trap and a chicken is slaughtered. Residents believe the chicken carcass will invite the appetite of crocodiles around the trap.
Singkil estuarine crocodiles will continue to be hunted by residents until the point of terror of crocodiles is gone. Lokan or estuarine shells became one of the commodities that moved the economy of 11 villages in Singkil District, Aceh Singkil Regency. Lokan seekers bet their lives, fighting the ferocious estuary of the Singkil River which inhabits the lokan producing area because of the enormity of this business. Crocodile terror which not only threatens the economy of the people, but is already at a threatening level of life, makes the government look for a way out to overcome the crocodile terror. Crocodiles are still free to roam until now, residents also continue to bet their lives looking for lokan around the crocodile nests.
