JAKARTA - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka mentioned the development of the State Capital (IKN), East Kalimantan, which was colored by false information or hoaxes.
According to him, the reality is not what was widely reported.
Gibran said IKN was not built by clearing the forests of Kalimantan.
He said the IKN development area is an eucalyptus production forest that will be harvested every 7 years.
"In the past, there were a lot of hoaxes about IKN. Oh, building a palace in the middle of the forest, clearing the forest. That's wrong, right. Do you know what's right? There is an eucalyptus production forest that is indeed cut every 6 to 7 years," he said at the Green Impact Festival at the Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, Thursday, July 24.
Along with the development of IKN, continued Gibran, the government will also restore forests in the area with Endemic plants from Borneo.
"So now we build IKN there, we will continue to return it to heterogeneous forests with endemic trees from Kalimantan. There is a ironwood tree, meranti, then there is a tengkawang tree. So what has been done I think is on track," he said.

Gibran also revealed that in IKN there is a nursery with a capacity of 15 million seeds per year.
Apart from IKN, there are also in West Java with similar capacities.
Ini salah satu peremaian atau nursery center yang ada di IKN. Kapasitasnya 15 juta seen per tahun. Ada juga yang di Jawa Barat juga kapasitasnya hampir sama. Jadi tuntunya kalau di total semua Indonesia, kita punya 83 juta seen per tahun untuk nursery, ucapnya.
