To conserve the forest and environment, the Minister of Environment and Forestry, Dr. Ir. Siti Nurbaya Bakar, M.Sc, accompanied by Vice-Rector of UGM for Research and Community Service, Prof. Dr. Suratman, have planted up to 4,000 trees at the Merapi National Park  in Jurangjero block, Magelang regency, on Saturday (17/12).

“Today we plant trees together as a concrete act to conserve the environment. I highly appreciate the initiative by UGM alumni of Student Regiment, which is a real effort of them to dedicate to their campus through tree planting event,” said the Minister.

Siti Nurbaya said the government was facing a challenge in tree planting with the critical lands that measure 24 million hectares in total. Hence, her office welcomes the adoption system for tree planting act in the country that will bring on wisdom and participation of the local people.

Currently, adoption system is vital to driving forward the conservation efforts of the forest and environment.
