The spread of volcanic ash is very wide, found almost all over the world.
Derived from an ancient supervolcano eruption, namely Mount Toba. The allegation points to Mount
Toba, because evidence of the same form of volcanic ash molecules was found at 2100 points. Since
the crater caldera which is now Lake Toba in Indonesia, up to 3000 miles, from the source of the

Samosir Regency Government issued a decree (SK) of the Regent of Samosir 89 dated 1 May 2012
concerning the Granting of a Horticultural Plantation and Livestock Business Location Permit
covering an area of 800 hectares in Tele Forest, in Partungkot Nagijang

wood in the forest without having an AMDAL.[1] Rohani

casualties. Due to the logging of the Tele forest, the
eroded mud on the logged-over land has caused the silting of the rivers around Lake Toba.

The one million tree planting program initiated by the North Sumatra Provincial government
is said to be ineffective because many trees die because they are not cared for. This caused three North Sumatran environmental activists, Marandus
Sirait, Hasoloan Manik (Kalpataru), and Wilmar Eliaser Simandjorang (Satya Lencana Karya Satya, Toba
Award, Wana Lestari) to return all certificates of appreciation that had been given by the North
Sumatra Provincial government, the Ministry of Forestry, and National
Palace.
The Minister of the Environment, Balthasar Kambuaya, has sent two letters of
recommendation to the Regent of Samosir Mangindar Simbolon as the giver of the business license and
the person in charge to impose administrative sanctions in the form of closing business activities.
After the first letter was ignored, the Regent of
Samosir replied to the second letter by stating that the company had not violated and therefore did
not deserve to be closed. Because the Regent did not
implement the recommendation, the Ministry of Environment also imposed a Second Line Enforcement and
temporarily closed the activities of PT GDS. This will

After the Ministry of Environment went directly to the location
based on the findings that the decision was ignored, then the Regency Government wrote to PT GDS to
comply with the decree. PT GDS also stopped all
operational activities and pulled heavy equipment in the area based on the confession of GDS
Director Jonni Sitohang. In the future, to win the
competition of tourism business, we must work hand in hand to create the new wisata samosir terbaru in
order to be wanted by all tourists.
