West Bali National Park (Indonesian: Taman Nasional Bali Barat) is a national park located in Buleleng Regency and Jembrana Regency, on the west point of Bali, Indonesia. The park covers around 190 square kilometres (73 sq mi), some 82% of which is on land and the remainder at sea.[3] This is approximately 3% of Bali's total land area.

History

The park was established in 1941 on 740 km2, aiming at protecting Bali tigers (Panthera tigris ssp. balica) - the last of which, as it happened, had already been killed. The surface of the park was reduced[4] to 190.0289 km2[1] in 1985; the newly excluded area was designated as protected reserve.[4]

More recently, there are talks about converting some or all the park into a biosphere reserve under the Man and Biosphere Unesco program, which allows for local people to keep their traditional close relation with their environment. This better corresponds to the recommendation 5.29 of the Vth IUCN World Parks Congress whereby ‘protected areas should not exist as islands, divorced from the social, cultural and economic context in which they are located’.[5]
In 1994 the Regulation 18/1994 was issued at a national level, with a clause on Nature Tourism Enterprising in Utilisation Zone of the National Parks, Botanical Garden, and Recreation Parks. This clause allows private tourism companies to operate in the utilisation zones of National Parks while keeping in line with the main aim “to increase the use of natural beauty and uniqueness of the National Park’s utilisation zone, botanical garden and recreation parks” (n° 18, article 2, point 2). It also requires “private tourism enterprises to involve the people living in the surrounding areas in their business activities” (article 10, point e), in order to help reduce local people's dependency on forest or marine resources for their livelihood. It also makes better use of their local and traditional knowledge, imbedded in the local systems and institutions, and allows for the development of new approaches for stewardship and for adapting and transforming governance.[5]

Description

The park covers a surface of 19,002.89 square kilometres (7,337.06 sq mi), with 15,587.89 square kilometres (6,018.52 sq mi) of land (82,02 %) and 3,415 square kilometres (1,319 sq mi) of sea (19,98 %). This covers nearly 5% of Bali’s entire land surface.[6]

West of the park is the seaport village of Gilimanuk [fr], and the villages of Pahlenkong and Pejarakan are to the east.[7] The park has three entrances: one by the coastal road in the north, coming from Lovina Beach, Pemuteran and Banjuwedang ; one by the coastal road coming from the south, reaching Gilimanuk;[1] and by ferries from Ketapang, East Java, to Gilimanuk.[7]

The park is not quite in one block: a peninsula of around 65 square kilometres (25 sq mi) juts out to the north-west and is separated from Bali's mainland by the island's coastal road linking Gilimanuk [fr] to the south-west, the village of Slumberklampok in the middle, and Pantai Teluk Terima ("beach of the bay of Terima") in Terima Bay to the north-east (and to further places of Bali's north-west coast) (see map below); most of that part of the coastal road is not included in the park. Gilimanuk itself is not included in the park either; nor is Pantai Teluk Terima and about 1 km of its surroung coast in Terima Bay.[7]

It includes several habitats: a savanna, mangroves, montane and mixed-monsoon forests, coastal forest and seagrass, and coral islands.[1][8] To the north, The park includes a 1,000-metre (3,300 ft) long beach, reef, and islets. The highest elevations in the park are Mount Kelatakan at 698 metres (2,290 ft) and Mount Prapat Agung at 375 metres (1,230 ft).[7][a]

It also includes several temples, among which the Dang Kahyangan Prapat Agung temple some 2 km north of Prapat Agung beach (where one can see a beautiful gradation of coastal sea hues from vivid turquoise to deep indigo) and 400 m away from the coast.[9] This temple boasts an intriguing pond less than 50 sq. m.,[10] the water of which varies between five different colours: red, black, yellow, white, clear, and blue. That pond is mentioned in the Dwijendra Tatwa[11] which recounts the journey made by the charismatic figure Dang Hyang Nirartha in Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa.[12] The whereabouts of the temple had been forgotten, as it is very isolated in the forest; it has only been (re-)discovered in 1990, through researches based on the Dwijendra Tatwa. Thanks to the temple standing within the national park, any development is strictly restricted to what nature dictates[11] — although a narrow road can bee seen on some photos.[9]

Banyuwedang hotspring (Pemandian Air Panas Banyuwedang[13]), near the Mimpi resort in Pejarakan, has an average temperature of 40 °C — the hottest hot spring in Bali. Royals used to bathe there and the spring waters are believed to have healing properties.[14]
