BOGOR - Lately the air quality in Jakarta has become one of the worst in the world. This is based on data from the IQAir air quality monitoring site.
At 06.00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), the air quality index (AQI) in Jakarta was at 170 or included in the unhealthy category with PM2.5 air pollution. 40 percent.
Thus the quality of life of people in urban areas is very unhealthy and tends to be dangerous.
For urban communities, seeking healthy and fresh air is one of the short-term solutions that must be done in order to maintain health in the midst of conditions like this.
One alternative solution that can be done is by healing and visiting the botanical garden.
Botanical gardens are scientific conservation areas, which are land planted with plant species intended for use as collections, research, and conservation belonging to the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
Not only that, the botanical garden also functions as a tourism and educational facility for visitors and the public.
Until now, there are four botanical gardens that have become national priority, namely the Bogor Botanical Gardens, Cibodas Botanical Gardens, Purwodadi Botanical Gardens, and Bali Botanical Gardens.
Each botanical garden has its own advantages and characteristics. However, there is a common thread, namely the four botanical gardens have cool air, minimal pollution, and are rich in educational literacy on Indonesian biodiversity.
"Enjoying the cool air in the botanical gardens in the not-so-good air condition of the Capital City of Jakarta can be an alternative for short vacations that are now popular with the public," said the General Manager of Corporate Communication of PT. Mitra Natura Raya, Zaenal Arifin, Monday, August 14.
Jabodetabek people, many choose to take a vacation at the nearest tourist spot, one of which is a favorite, namely the Bogor Botanical Gardens.
With an area of 87 hectares, it is a challenge for the management of the Bogor Botanical Gardens to maintain the quality of cleanliness and service.
"If you want to go a little further, you can go to the Cibodas Botanical Gardens. With a 2-3 hour trip from Jakarta, the people of the capital city will get the atmosphere of a botanical garden with the contours of hills and mountains so they can feel the cool atmosphere typical of the mountains," he said.
In East Java, there is the Purwodadi Botanical Garden which is close to Surabaya and Malang.
"This is a botanical garden with a tropical lowland character. Meanwhile, in Bali, there is a Bali Botanical Garden in the highlands of the Bedugul area, so you can feel the cool atmosphere typical of the mountains like in the Cibodas Botanical Garden," said Zaenal.
