Ahmad Arifin with the title Conservation, Arrangement and Utilization of Natural Resources as Ecotourism Potential in South Kalimantan, while Hasan Zainuddin spoke about making environmental activists as journalists in an effort to raise the spirit of community to maintain rivers.
Meanwhile, the formation of KPS was motivated by the conditions of rivers in South Kalimantan. The more damage to the environment has an impact on the river condition, thus the role of the community is needed to preserve the river.
However, the river is the lifeblood of not only humans but also animals and plants. The existence of the river indicates that there is still life, the destruction of the river will also damage life.
