"This community involvement will certainly encourage them to do similar things in their respective environments," he said, Friday (10/30).

The types of trees planted are productive plants, one of which is the avocado. In addition to protecting the environment, these plants are expected to produce fruit that is beneficial for meeting the community's nutritional needs.

Uus expressed his appreciation to BRI and all regional apparatus organizations within the Jakarta Provincial Government for consistently promoting various greening activities.

"This effort is increasingly important amidst the challenges of weather changes and long dry seasons which have resulted in drought in a number of regions," he added.

He hopes that this tree planting activity can continue and be developed sustainably by all elements of society and government agencies in order to create a greener, more beautiful and sustainable Jakarta.

Meamwhile, Regional Business Support Head Region 6 of Bank BRI, Fandi Imawan explained that the tree planting was part of BRI's climate change action which is oriented towards ecosystem restoration and preservation.

"We understand that Jakarta as a metropolitan city faces various environmental challenges, ranging from limited green open spaces, air quality, to the need for a healthier and more comfortable urban environment," he stated.

In implementing the program in the Jakarta area, BRI supports the planting of 5,000 productive trees designed to provide environmental, social, and economic benefits for the community.

"In the initial stage, as many as 1,500 productive trees were planted in three main locations, namely the Pemuda Reservoir, the Water Agency Waste Management Unit, and SMKN 74 Jakarta," he added.

He emphasized that the success of these social and environmental programs requires synergy from various parties. Collaboration involves not only BRI and the government, but also businesses, educational institutions, communities, and all levels of society.
