Chandra Asri Group Supports WJC Unpad 2024 as a Commitment to Environmental Conservation

Chandra Asri Group once again showed its concern for environmental conservation by supporting the Wildlife Journalism Competition (WJC) agenda organized by the Center for Environmental Communication Studies of Padjadjaran University (Unpad). The roadshow, themed “Negative Human-Wildlife Interactions from an Environmental Journalism Perspective”, took place in Banten on August 6 and 7, 2024, in collaboration with Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University (Untirta). The program aims to instill the value of animal conservation to students, develop journalistic skills, and provide an understanding of human-animal interactions from an environmental journalism perspective. 

Throughout the event, around 70 students from various universities in Serang and Cilegon, Banten participated to learn practical skills in developing news, articles or reports related to wildlife conservation. Then, at the closing of the roadshow on August 8, 2024, a total of 50 students from Unpad and Untirta participated in mangrove planting at Lembur Mangrove Patikang, Pandeglang, an edu-ecotourism area assisted by Chandra Asri Group with an area of 9,500 square meters. This activity is expected to form a young generation who cares about nature conservation and strengthen efforts to protect the environment and animals.
