BANYUWANGI - In an effort to prevent an environmental crisis, the Banyuwangi Regency Government, East Java, in collaboration with PT Bumi Suksesindo (BSI) planted tens of thousands of tree seedlings on the slopes of Mount Ijen.
Banyuwangi Regent Ipuk Fiestiandani invites various parties to jointly prevent environmental crises by carrying out reforestation.
"The planting of tree seedlings is part of the rehabilitation of critical land," he said after symbolically planting 66 thousand trees in the Pinus Agatis Forest area of Banjar Village, Licin District, Banyuwangi Regency, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, April 26.
Ipuk said as many as 66 thousand tree seedlings would be planted over 60 hectares of land and tree seedlings planted with multipurpose trees or multipurpose trees such as avocado, durian and petai.
He encouraged the movement to plant sustainable trees in Banyuwangi because it is very important in efforts to rehabilitate critical land and forest conservation in the area.

According to Regent Ipuk, the sustainable tree planting movement must continue to be improved because forests are not only ancestral heritage that can be enjoyed by the benefits, but are entrusted to future generations.
"For this reason, the contribution of various parties needs to continue to be initiated as a form of shared responsibility," he said.
Currently, said Ipuk, the world is faced with a three-planetary crisis, namely climate change, loss of biodiversity and pollution.
"Therefore, we continue to invite many parties to continue to protect the environment, on the slopes of Mount Ijen as an upstream area, for example, we need to plant trees that can hold water so that flooding does not occur in urban downstream," said Regent Ipuk.
In the tree seedling planting activity, also attended by the Head of the Polresta Kombes Pol Rama Samtama Putra, Dandim 0825 Lieutenant Colonel (Arh) Joko Sukoyo, Danlanal Marine Lt. Col. (P) Muhamad Puji Santoso and Acting Regional Secretary of Banyuwangi Regency Guntur Priambodo.
