Despite the conservation of parks and wildlife sanctuary, Pulau Sangiang and Ujungkulon not escape from environmental destruction. Human development and thus become the main trigger. 
The sun began to bow down in the horizon while the boat to the island together Sangiang. Unfold in front of us-journalists and the staff of the Ministry of Environment (KLH) - a scene that is less harmonious. An island with a mangrove thicket start low. Appear roofless buildings damaged in several locations. 
”Maaf, kalau bisa jangan terlalu lama, sebab nanti malam tempat ini akan dijadikan latihan Kopassus (Komando Pasukan Khusus -red),” ujar seorang lelaki berbadan tegap. Of course journalists surprised and mengernyitkan forehead. Training Kopassus in an island that is set as the Nature Park? But as the SH and fellow journalists, others already very tired journey through the sea for four hours from Anyer, Banten, we do not get much respect these military activities. A clear, defined as the area of Nature Tourism since October 12th 1991 that is not appropriate as the tourist attraction called natural. 

Old Cases 
How does not, other than the very quiet, the island was not quite have the facilities as tourist attractions. Local residents is not visible, because the island is not terhuni. Only a handful of staff try to keep it visible. Some of the ruins of buildings visible here and there. The in, the more uncomfortable seen. Mangrove swamps is broken, the pavement began to break. Land area of 528.15 hectares and 710 hectares of water is not really known as a place to support the tour. 
"It was the building of the former PT Pondok Kalimaya White (PKP), which first took place membagun want this," said Ir. Soleh Setiawan, Banten Bapedalda officer to the location in the SH, the weekend set. PT PKP had obtained permission in 1993 to become a contractor in Sangiang was problematic since proven to mangrove destruction, coral reefs and forests around the coast. Now permission has been revoked, and leaving damage that can not even fixed. 
Soleh menandaskan environmental popularity since it began in 1993 when PT PKP operates as a builder of nature tourism. This case popularity in 2003 when the Government of Banten province demanded that the Ministry of Forestry (MoF) revoked the license of PT PKP in the island. But so is the rice porridge. The island is now a place Sangiang slipshod left the board. 
In fact, if ditilik, the island entered the village Cikoneng, District Anyer, Serang regency, this has the potential to be developed as tourist attractions. In a number of locations can be found objects and buildings during Japanese occupation, such as buildings, forts, caves, and the rest of the gun barrel as weapons.
