Protection of Bali land is getting more challenging than ever before. The complexity was grown by both natural process and mismanagement, including weakness of law related to land protection in Bali. Situation is worsened by unclear action plan in protection of land in Bali.
Selling land in the name of investment often initiate indefinite polemic.
The policy to keep Bali as a healthy and comfortable living habitat is predicted to be difficult to achieve.
Numerous incidents of environmental abuse confirmed the lack of will to protect Bali land. “Ironically the initiators of environmental abuse polemic are often the bureaucrats who tend to recommend licenses too easily”, an observer said. Delay in completion of new land allocation zoning regulation and other regulations related to investment on land of Bali will make the situation even worse.

Integrated policy among regencies and cities has to be an essential agenda in mapping situation and elaborating solution to prevent potential devastation. “I am looking toward worse abrasion and decreasing levels of land in Bali”, he said.
Head of monitoring body of river stream area of Bali and Nusa Penida, Nyoman Ray Yusha expressed his concern about changing land structure in Bali. Decreasing water preservation area and problem in getting fresh water will become a sharpening phenomena in the years to come. The prediction was based on pollution of rivers in Bali.
Publicised report mentioned that at least 10 largest rivers in Bali are polluted including Tukad Badung, Tukad Tebe, Tukad Pakerisan, Tukad Sungsang, and Tukad Nyuling. Rivers are loosing one thousand liters per second of water stream, whilst lakes are facing decrease between one to fifteen meters of dept per year.
Other revealed indicators on degradation of Bali environment is soaring production of rubbish. In average every person in Bali produced between two to three kilograms of rubbish per day. Without proper immediate anticipation it will bring enormous environmental impacts.
