Mangrove Reforestation Project in Muara Gembong, Bekasi Regency, West Java

PT Bekasi Fajar Industrial Estate Tbk (BEST) collaborates with PT Megalopolis Manunggal Industrial Development (MMID) and is supported by 37 tenants such as Jotun Indonesia, Mayora Indah, and Yusen Logistics, along with the MM2100 Industrial Estate Nature Lovers Forum (FPAKI), to undertake the planting of 20,800 mangrove trees this year in Pantai Bahagia Village, Muara Gembong District.

Herdian, the Corporate Secretary of BEST, emphasizes that the mangrove planting initiative, ongoing since 2015 and planned to continue until 2023, significantly contributes in several areas:

Environment: Mangroves play a crucial role in preventing erosion and protecting beaches, supporting the sustainability of marine biodiversity and ecosystems.

Economy: Mangroves bolster the fishing industry and enhance ecotourism, offering new economic opportunities.

Social and Community Empowerment: The project actively involves local communities in environmental conservation efforts, fostering greater environmental awareness and responsibility.

This initiative aims not only for ecological restoration but also for economic development and community empowerment, envisioning a sustainable future."
