Planting Mangroves to Restore Ecosystems: The Story of Chandra Asri Group and the Tengkurak Village Community

As part of its commitment to environmental conservation and climate resilience, Chandra Asri Group has partnered with the local community of Tengkurak Village, Serang Regency, in a mangrove conservation program. The planting is being carried out in stages, targeting up to 186 hectares, and is accompanied by efforts to empower local residents. The community has been involved from the planning stage, as their understanding of coastal conditions is key to the success of this ecosystem restoration.

Mangrove conservation also opens up social and economic opportunities for local residents, particularly through the development of productive land and education-based ecotourism, which in turn improves the quality of life in coastal areas. This initiative represents a concrete step by Chandra Asri Group in preserving nature, mitigating coastal abrasion, and supporting carbon emission absorption.
