Antara News is reporting that state tourism holding ITDC (InJourney) planted trees in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (KEK) in Central Lombok on Saturday (1/3/25,) under the InJourney Green program, which promotes green tourism.
General manager of the Mandalika KEK, Wahyu M. Nugroho, said that the tree plantation in the area was part of a larger goal for all subsidiaries of InJourney to plant 27,850 trees by the end of 2025 and based on an earlier agenda, which included the planting of 10,000 trees leading up to the Indonesian GP 2024 event.
Besides tree planting, Nugroho said that his side also conducted environmental clean-up activities as a tangible contribution to preserving the natural environment in the Mandalika area, says Antara News.
He added that the tree-planting activity in the Mandalika area was not just a symbolic action but also part of a significant effort to protect nature and create a green, globally competitive tourist destination.
InJourney Green is a collective movement by all members of the InJourney Group to build an environmentally friendly tourism ecosystem, which aligns with Indonesia’s vision of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2060 and Zero Waste by 2050, says Antara News.
“This program aligns with the sustainable development goals (SDGs), specifically goal 13 (Climate Action), goal 14 (Life Below Water), and goal 15 (Life on Land),” he said.
ITDC also understands the importance of involving employees, local communities, and relevant stakeholders at each destination it manages to collaborate in environmental preservation, thereby encouraging real sustainable practices.
“We hope this activity can inspire more people to join in protecting the environment,” he said.
