The Whispers of Nyadeng Lake

Nyadeng Lake is in Merabu Village, Kelay District, Berau. Merabu Village, with an area of ​​22,000 hectares, is 130 KM from the Regency capital, Tanjung Redeb. This village is rich with natural resources. They have a protected forest with an area of ​​10,800 hectares, a production forest of 12,200 hectares, and a karst area of ​​7,500 hectares. This village exudes a natural atmosphere of forests, karst mountains, ancient caves, and small rivers with clear water because of the influence of limestone. Lake Nyadeng, for example, has clear, cool turquoise water that flows from the karst mountains.

In Merabu Village there are several interesting caves. One of them is the Beloyot Cave, which has ancient historical relics, in the form of images of palms estimated to be more than 4,000 years old. Most of the people in this village were from the Dayak Lebok tribe.

Through The SIGAP approach, YKAN, with Merabu’s villagers, identifies natural resource assets in this area. By getting to know the existing natural assets, the community developed a Village Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMDES) to manage natural resources sustainably and provide sustainable livelihood options.
