Bogor City DPRD Chairman Adityawarman Adil participated in a tree-planting event to mark Environment Day 2026. The initiative, organized in collaboration with the Bogor Raya Youth Care Community (KPP), took place at the Kayumanis Public Cemetery in Tanah Sareal District.
Adityawarman stated that the event demonstrated a shared commitment to realizing Bogor City's vision of becoming a creative and sustainable urban center through tangible environmental preservation actions. "This activity is part of the commitment to realize Bogor City's vision as a creative and sustainable city," he remarked.
The DPRD Kota Bogor had previously received an award from the Ministry of Environment for its dedication to environmental issues. This recognition stemmed from the ratification of several regulations, including the Regional Regulation on Green Open Spaces (RTH) and the Regional Regulation on Organic Agriculture.
Adityawarman stressed that environmental conservation cannot be achieved by a single entity. He emphasized the necessity of collaboration among the Bogor City government, the DPRD, communities, and the public to increase concrete actions, such as tree planting, for environmental sustainability.
Echoing this sentiment, Bogor Deputy Mayor Jenal Mutaqin praised the involvement of all parties. He highlighted the importance of expanding green open spaces and promoting tree planting, particularly in landslide-prone areas, as part of maintaining environmental balance. Beni Sitepu, Chairman of KPP Bogor Raya, explained that the tree-planting activity is an annual routine supporting the "PSL Program" in Bogor City. He expressed hope that the Environment Day commemoration would enhance the awareness and participation of the younger generation in greening Bogor amidst environmental challenges and rising urban temperatures.
This activity is part of the commitment to realize Bogor City's vision as a creative and sustainable city.
