The governor of Wayan Koster island has announced a moratorium on the conversion permits of portions of territory into tourist and commercial structures. Every year the island loses about 1,000 hectares of rice fields and green areas, with damages that also extend to traditional water systems. According to the Ministry of the Environment, only 3% of the Ayung river basin is still covered by forests, well away from the minimum standard of 30%.
