Held on 28 th November 2022, Indonesian Tree Planting Day is a nationwide initiative that aims to reverse the effects of deforestation across this vast archipelago. Forest clearance for infrastructure development, industry and agriculture has led to the loss of 18 percent* of Indonesia s tree coverage since 2000. To tackle this, the Indonesian government launched th e One Man One Tree ( policy, which encourages every Indonesian person to plant at least one tree.
As a proud guardian of native flora and fauna Invest Island s will come together with schoolchildren in southern Lombok, close to The Mandala Eco Villa ge and Gran Meliá Lombok, to plant 1,000 trees in and around Torok Bay. It will also teach the children about the importance of nature and the impact of deforestation. This follows the planting of 18,000 trees all across the island since 2020, in partnership with local organisations and educational institutions in areas including Torok, Montong Ajan and Tumpak Village.
This activity forms part of Invest Islands widespread education and development programs, which are helping to build a brighter future for young people in Lombok. The company will soon launch the Mandala Foundation and Mandala Learning Center, through which it will aim to improve basic literacy among children in local villages. It is also planning to set up a Lombok Youth Leadership Program, which will help disadvantaged youths to reach their potential, and a new Hospitality Academy that will give villagers the skills they need to gain employment in the tourism and hotel sectors. Looking ahead, the planned Mandala Sustainability Academy will help to implement solutions to ecological and social challenges.
