Survivor
Belasan orang terdiam membisu. Sebagian mereka nyaris tanpa baju dengan tubuh merlumur lumpur dan mengering. Ada yang duduk dan berdiri. Namun mereka tidak berkata-kata, hanya memegang potret . Potret dari wajah-wajah yang bagi orang umum tidak begitu dikenal karena memang bukan portret public figure atau selebritis. Mereka adalah wajah-wajah dari korban lumpur di Sidoarjo yang juga dikenal dengan Lumpur Lapindo. Itulah “Survivor” sebuah art performance yang disuguhkan seniman Dadang Christanto dalam penutupan Biennale Jogja X yang digelar beberapa bulan yang lalu.

Gajah di Riau

Vera, salah satu anak gajah di PLG Tahura, Minas.

Nasib gajah Sumatra (Elephas maximus sumatranus) di Riau tidaklah terlalu menggembirakan. Keberadaan mereka sekarang seakan menjadi sebuah dilema.
Bila kita tengok di Pusat Konservasi Gajah Sultan Syarif Hasyim atau juga dikenal dengan Pusat Latihan Gajah (PLG) Tahura, Minas, Riau, kehidupan puluhan hewan mamalia darat raksasa ini cukup menarik. Melihat mereka saat mandi di sungai atau menjelajah hutan di atas punggung gajah-gajah yang sudah terlatih tersebut, menjadi hiburan tersendiri. Duduk dan bercanda ditemani anak gajah yang lucu menjadi pengalaman yang tak terlupakan.
Namun disisi lain konflik yang terjadi antara manusia dengan gajah juga semakin meningkat setiap tahunnya. Bahkan beberapa pekan waktu silam kawanan gajah mengamuk di permukiman Kelurahan Balai Raja, Kecamatan Pinggir, Kabupaten Bengkalis. Tiga rumah serta puluhan hektar perkebunan rusak. Bahkan amukan gajah tersebut memaksa anak-anak dan wanita untuk diungsikan ke kantor kelurahan selama dua pekan.
