TANGERANG: The Tangerang regency environmental agency plans to
\nplant 189,000 trees on 300 hectares of land along the Cisadane
\nriver catchment area in November and December.<\/p>\n
\"Today, our team begins conducting a survey to study what kind
\nof trees the people living along the river want, because they
\nwill be involved in managing the green areas,\" Agency deputy
\nchief Admat Kosim told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The people would be given the rights to manage and earn money
\nfrom the trees, he said.<\/p>\n
Fruit trees like durians, jackfruits, melinjo, duku, mangoes,
\nand avocados, as well as coconuts and cloves would be planted in
\nCisauk, Pagedangan and Serpong districts.<\/p>\n
The program is held in conjunction with the National Movement
\nof Land and Forest Rehabilitation launched by the Ministry of
\nForestry recently, in 21 river catchment areas in the country.<\/p>\n
The ministry allocated Rp 1.1 billion to Tangerang for
\nplanning, implementing and developing the project. The seeds
\nwould be provided by the Citarum-Ciliwung River Catchment Areas
\nManagement Center in Bogor.--JP<\/p>",
