        "summary": "Sumanto, Speaker of the Central Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), has urged volunteers of the Jogo Kali Merawat Bumi programme to actively maintain trees after planting ceremonies rather than abandoning them. The environmental initiative, which he initiated, has planted 1,500 trees across 12 sub-districts in Karanganyar Regency since April 2026. Volunteers report conducting regular inspections and replanting where necessary.",
        "content": "<p>\u201cThe volunteers\u2019 task is not just to plant and then leave. The trees\nmust be checked\u2014whether they are still alive, whether there are pests,\nand certainly not cut down. Usually it is only a planting ceremony,\nafter that the tree dies, I am sure. So, the volunteers\u2019 task is to care\nfor and nurture them,\u201d said Sumanto in a written statement on Monday\n(31\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Sumanto delivered the message while leading a follow-up coordination\nmeeting after a tree-planting activity at Pendopo Madyosumarto, Suruh\nVillage, Karanganyar Regency, on Saturday (22\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Sumanto also appealed to the volunteers\u2019 conscience to straighten\ntheir intentions in carrying out the environmental stewardship\nactivities currently under way.<\/p>\n<p>Jago Kali Merawat Bumi is a movement for the preservation of nature\nand water sources around rivers for future generations, initiated by\nSumanto. The programme is carried out through the planting of trees that\nserve as water storage and the release of fish fingerlings in several\nareas of Karanganyar Regency.<\/p>\n<p>The activity, which has been running since April 2026, has visited 12\nsub-districts in Karanganyar Regency. To date, 1,500 trees have been\nplanted through the programme, covering areas from the lowlands of\nGondangrejo, bordering Sragen and Solo, to the slopes of Mount Lawu in\nJenawi, Tawangmangu, and Jatiyoso.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Jogo Kali volunteers, Sri Harjono, said that volunteers\nroutinely carry out maintenance and additional tree planting at several\npotential points. In recent months, some trees were found to be healthy,\nsome had withered and then received intensive care, and some needed to\nbe replanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually on Saturday or Sunday morning we go around, checking the\nplanting points again. We hoe and water them. After that, we rest, have\ncoffee, smoke, and share our thoughts,\u201d concluded Sri Harjono, Chair of\nthe PDI Perjuangan faction who is also a Jogo Kali volunteer.<\/p>",
