“My message to all development partners is this: let us work together to green the earth and preserve our environment. Conservation is part of our duty and devotion,” said Agustan Saining, Head of the Central Kalimantan Provincial Forestry Agency.

The tree-planting event serves as both a hope and a reminder of our collective responsibility to deliver tangible environmental benefits for Central Kalimantan. It is also expected to inspire greater environmental awareness among younger generations in the years ahead.

In October 2025, GFI and the Central Kalimantan Provincial Forestry Agency formally signed a Cooperation Agreement to implement Forest and Land Rehabilitation (RHL) programs in the province. This collaboration marks an important step for both parties in strengthening joint efforts to green and rehabilitate areas beyond forest areas, while involving local communities as key partners in environmental stewardship and improving local livelihoods.
