Lampung Plants 25,000 Mangroves in Pesawaran, Targets 100,000 Seedlings

PESAWARAN, GARISBUMI.com – A total of 25,000 mangrove seedlings were planted at Marines Ecopark, Pesawaran Regency, as part of efforts to restore Lampung's coastal ecosystem. This year's planting increases the number of mangroves in the program to 75,000 seedlings.

The planting movement was led by Deputy Governor of Lampung Jihan Nurlela, Tuesday, September 22 2026. This activity was part of the Road to 100,000 Mangrove program organized by Golden Tulip Springhill Bandar Lampung.

The program, which has entered its third year, previously planted 50,000 mangrove seedlings. With the addition of 25,000 seedlings this year, the organizers are targeting the number of plantings to reach 100,000 seedlings next year.

This activity involved the Lampung Provincial Government, PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia, Golden Tulip Springhill, Bank BRI, PLN, Pertamina, Brigif 4 Marines/BS, and a number of other parties.

Jihan appreciated the consistency of the organizers and partners who maintained the mangrove planting movement for three consecutive years.

According to him, coastal environmental restoration requires a long-term commitment and cannot be completed through ceremonial activities that are only carried out once.

"Protecting nature is not only done last year, last month, but every time, every month, every year. At all times it is our obligation to be able to protect nature," said Jihan.
