SamARINDA - Misman, a resident of Samarinda, a candidate to receive the Kalpataru award from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), could not attend Jakarta to receive the award directly due to health factors. "We have received an official letter from Mr. Misman regarding his health condition, so he cannot go to Jakarta, so he is represented to Mrs. Dila as the Head of the DLH Environmental Capacity Development and Improvement Division," said Head of the Samarinda City Environment Agency (DLH) Sam Syaimun in Samarinda, Antara, Sunday, June 4. If Misman's physical condition is fit, he should have been in Jakarta today to receive the Kalpataru award from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which is a gift that was handed over factually by the Minister of Environment and Forestry at the Dr. Soedjarwo Auditorium, Manggala Wanabakti Building, Jakarta, on Monday, June 5, in conjunction with the commemoration of World Environment Day. Meanwhile, Misman, when he was visited at his house, he saw that his condition was not fit. He slowly got up from his bed and then sat down jokingly to meet guests. "I am very happy to accept Kalpataru even though this gift has never been imagined before. For that, don't let this happiness trouble other people if I force myself to go to Jakarta, then when traveling or when something happened in Jakarta happened to me," he said. The physical condition he is feeling at this time is that he is easily tired, even if he sits or waits too long, especially if he is tired on the way, he is worried that he will suddenly become connected, so this will trouble other people. He guessed this happened because it might be intestinal tuberculosis, because he had checked with a practicing doctor and it was stated that there was intestinal tuberculosis, apart from bile. While bile has no problem because Misman bile has been removed through surgery. Previously, a letter was issued from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, namely SK.545/MENLHK/PSKL/PSL.3/5/2023 dated May 25, 2023 regarding Recipients of the 2023 Kalpataru Award. There are 10 people/groups nationally that will receive, namely four recipients of Kalpataru in the Environmental Pioneer category, one person in the Environmental Service category, three groups in the Environmental Rescue category, and two people in the Environmental Guidance category.

Misman is one of the 10 recipients of the 2023 Kalpataru Award for the Environmental Pioneer category. Since 2015 until now, he has been campaigning about the importance of reforestation on the river green line, then continuing to plant trees in the Sempada of the Karang Mumus River Samarinda.
