He expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the Jakarta Parks and City Forest Agency, exhibitors, the entire work team, related parties, and visitors who have collaborated, succeeded, and enlivened the 2022 Flona Jakarta Exhibition.

According to him, the enthusiasm of the people based on the visit data, which was no less than 20,000 on weekends and 5,000 on weekdays, showed an extraordinary achievement after two years of the pandemic.

"We can take a lot of things from this exhibition which has been prepared quite well for one month. Besides seeing various flora and fauna, visitors are also presented with buildings surrounded by various types of plants," he explained.

"This at least invites us to always be friendly with nature. A friendly attitude to nature is very important when our earth is always threatened by climate change where global warming is the cause of climate change caused by the production of greenhouse gases which incidentally is man-made," he furthered.

The Flona Jakarta Exhibition's theme is Third Room Collaboration, which emphasizes collaboration and community interaction with various activities ranging from hobbies, and sports to cultural arts performances. All of this is a form of collaboration between elements of society, between communities and stakeholders, and between stakeholders.
