Leuweung Sancang
Leuweung Sancang includes the conservation areas,
which is located in Cibalong district. To reach the site, we need
a -5- hour or a -118-kilometer trip from Garut. The long trip must
be taken, as the road condition is stony. But it is an outrageous
journey as we can see the Leuweung Sancang Natural Conservation
Area, the area of tropical rain forest with multi function. The
natural conservation area, which is protected by law, covers 2,157
hectares of land. The charm of the site is that we can walk inside
the forest while looking at a number of endangered species. _Unique
animals that live in Leuwung Sancang Natural Conservation Area is
buffalo (Bos Javanicus), Merak bird (Papo Muticus), Mencek (Muntiacus
Muntjak), while plants that exist in there are Palahlar (Diptek
Ocarpuspee dir), Kabao (Dipterocarpus Gracilis), Werejit (Excoecaria
agallocha lin). However, this area could only be used for tourism
activities that are related with education and research.
