The Strategic Role of Biodiversity Park As PT. TEL’s Commitment to Environmental Conservation
PT Tanjungenim Lestari (PT TeL) Pulp and Paper is a company that has been dedicated to the pulp and paper industry for many years. As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation, PT TeL is pioneering a new, high-value business development project: Biodiversity Park.
Understanding the importance of biodiversity to the survival of the earth, PT TeL launched Biodiversity Park as a tangible effort to preserve the rich ecosystems in the Muara Enim area. The project aims to create a balanced environment between industrial activities and nature preservation.
PT TeL’s Biodiversity Park has recorded significant environmental conservation and restoration strides with impressive biodiversity inventory results. This baseline data was obtained through the hard work of a team from Sriwijaya University, who have conducted intensive visits and research at the park site. With the cooperation between PT TeL, Sriwijaya University, and Muara Enim Environmental Department, this project has gained strong support in achieving conservation and sustainability goals
PT TeL’s Biodiversity Team visits Sriwijaya University and Muara Enim Environmental Agency have provided a deep understanding of the surrounding environment and the importance of maintaining biodiversity. The full support of these two institutions provides a positive impetus for the development of PT TeL’s biodiversity park. In particular, the Muara Enim Environment Agency has a vision to make PT TeL’s biodiversity park a fostered area and is officially registered with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
PT TeL Biodiversity Park is expected to become a strategic destination for research and cooperation with universities and related institutions. With baseline data already collected and support from relevant parties, the park has the potential to provide high value in supporting research and activities focused on environmental protection and restoration.
In addition to being a research tool, PT TeL’s Biodiversity Park is also expected to become a collaboration site that encourages the exchange of knowledge and experience between PT TeL, universities, and other relevant institutions. This collaboration will strengthen conservation and sustainable development efforts in the surrounding area and benefit the local community.
The Biodiversity Park is clear evidence that business and environmental conservation can go hand in hand. Abundant natural resources are precious treasures, and PT TeL’s Biodiversity Park brings hope that we are also preserving future generations by preserving biodiversity.
The Biodiversity Park project is the beginning of PT TeL’s long journey toward achieving its broader sustainability vision. The company is committed to continue developing conservation programs and involving more parties in preserving nature. The initial phase of PT TeL’s Biodiversity Park project has been carried out by clearing weeds and shrubs in the park area. This action marked PT TeL’s commitment to begin the process of preserving this rich environment. By ensuring a clean and well-maintained environment. Step by step, PT TeL is moving towards a broader vision of sustainability, with Biodiversity Park as a key cornerstone in the real effort to protect nature and leave a valuable legacy for future generations.
