When the damaged nature has been rehabilitated and becomes good, the ecosystem naturally arranges flora and fauna and useful for the environment. Since GoldTeak started planting trees in Cibening village, nature has helped restore the habitat of several types of animals like insects and birds, clean air and availability of water.
After more than ten years, the people of Cibening village often find some animals that never appeared before. Not infrequently they find wild boars, monkeys, bats, various types of birds, butterflies, pangolin and snakes.
Recently, when the workers were clearing the grass and weeds in the plantation, they found a snake, not once but several times. They found there was a snake’s nest near the damp bushes with many unhatched eggs. Types of ground snakes, tree snakes and other types of snakes are very dangerous. The workers are still looking for other snake nests, it is feared that the eggs will soon hatch.
Deforestation is a major problem in Indonesia, around 64% of land in Indonesia is forest, but forest area continues to shrink due to global climate change and exploitation of natural resources. PT GoldTeak only owns about 40 hectares of teak plantations and other hard wood trees, and it is a proof that the company cares about climate change in Indonesia. The reforestation program on critical land is the best solution to restore ecosystems that are starting to be damaged and extinct.
