KUNINGAN, West Java (Jakarta Post) : Some 400 hectares of land on the slope of Mount Ciremai in Kuningan regency will be planted with jarak (Jathropa curcas) trees, says a reforestation activist.
Bambang Suela, coordinator of the regreening program in the regency, said the regreening program would involve 20 groups of 400 farmers from villages near the mountain.
"The farmers are invited to take part in the reforestation program to improve their income and raise awareness of environmental conservation," he said Tuesday.
The coordinator of the Mount Ciremain Conservation Program, Avo Juhartono, said the effort would help prevent floods and landslides in the area.
