By Luh De Suriyani Bali’s Penyaringan village was hit by flash floods in September, which some have linked to the ongoing loss of its forest. While the village’s forest has been designated as a protected area, it’s still subject to encroachment by villagers for the planting of short-lived crops, a practice known locally as ngawen.
