JAKARTA - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and a number of Cabinet members planted mangrove trees in the Angke ecotourism park in North Jakarta on Monday as part of efforts to rehabilitate the mangrove forest. Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan said his office had struck an agreement with the Jakarta administration to plant 9 million mangrove trees in the coming five years.
"We have organized tree-planting activities here in Angke Bay, in Ancol and in other places several times ," Zulkifli said as quoted by Antara. He added that garbage was the most responsible for the destruction of the mangrove forest along Jakarta coast. "Our main enemy is garbage. Jakarta Bay is like a supermarket, where beds, pillows and garbage can be found," he said.
Other officials joining the tree planting were Youth and Sports Minister Andi Mallarangeng, Environment Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta, State Secretary Sudi Silalahi, Cabinet Secretary Dipo Alam and Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo.
