60 Genries Design Environmental Solutions for West Sumatra

Ecological Innovation Presented to Government

On the second day, Saturday, September 12 2026, 60 Genries presented action plans, ecological innovations and environmental solutions adapted to the conditions of the West Sumatra region.

The dialogue forum and innovation parade took place at the Solok Deputy Regent's Official Residence. The participants conveyed their ideas directly to a number of stakeholders.

Deputy Regent of Solok, Candra, said the government needed cooperation with the younger generation, academics and the community at the site level to resolve forest and environmental problems.

"The government cannot work alone in solving the complexity of forest and environmental problems," said Candra.

According to him, cross-sector consolidation is needed so that ideas developed by the younger generation can be connected to regional government programs.

"Collaboration between the government, the younger generation, academics and local communities is the key so that innovations born today do not stop as discourse documents, but instead become measurable actions that have a direct impact on the sustainability of the ecosystem," he said.

The Ministry of Forestry stated that it would monitor and accompany the implementation of the follow-up plans prepared by the Genries.
