Chandra Asri and Pandeglang Regency Government symbolically planted mangroves to inaugurate the Patikang Mangrove Edu-Ecotourism Area in Citereup Village, Pandeglang Regency, Banten, on Tuesday, August 30, 2022. Collaborating with other stakeholders, Edu-Ecotourism Mangrove is Chandra Asri's commitment to the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and efforts to realize Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia. Furthermore, this 9,500 m2 area is also intended to maximize blue carbon as part of the decarbonization process. In addition to completing the first phase through track repairs and the construction of Chandra Asri's educational shelter, the Company has also collaborated with IKAMAT (Inspirasi Keluarga Kesemat), UNDIP's Marine Science alumnus foundation, to examine the condition of mangrove vegetation, herpetofauna species, and the diversity of mammals and aves within the area. Moreover, the Company has completed a study to determine conservation and development areas to decide the interventions needed to maintain the ecology of the mangrove area. Furthermore, mangrove planting is planned to be carried out again in 2022.
