This step is part of\nefforts to promote world-class Indonesian national parks. Forestry\nMinister Raja Juli Antoni held a meeting with Japanese representatives,\nincluding Shichimeko Shuici and Ikuo Yamada. The meeting discussed the\npotential for collaboration in managing national parks based on\nsimilarities in ecosystem characteristics. In the discussion, Kemenhut\nproposed sister park cooperation between Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park\nand several Indonesian national parks, namely Kerinci Seblat National\nPark, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, and Gunung Rinjani National\nPark. \u201cThis cooperation is expected to be a strategic step in improving\nthe quality of conservation area management through the exchange of\nknowledge, experience, and best practices in environmental protection\nand ecotourism development. In addition, this initiative is also aimed\nat strengthening the position of Indonesian national parks on the global\nstage,\u201d stated Raja Juli in an official statement on Monday (30\/3). The\nJapanese Government welcomed the plan positively and encouraged concrete\nfollow-up through the organisation of technical workshops. This forum\nwill be the initial stage to formulate a more implementative and\nsustainable cooperation framework. Previously, on 28 March 2029,\nKemenhut had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Shizuoka\nPrefecture Government regarding the protection and conservation of\nwildlife, including the komodo (Varanus komodoensis) breeding loan\nprogramme. This series of cooperation is part of strengthening bilateral\nIndonesia-Japan relations in the environmental and forestry sector,\nwhile supporting the agenda of President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s state visit\nto Japan. The Japanese Ministry of the Environment welcomed the proposal\nand encouraged concrete follow-up through the organisation of a\ntechnical workshop.<\/p>",
