The mangrove planting process will be carried out in strategic locations such as Telaga Waja Beach (Nusa Dua), Mangrove Arboretum Park, and Ngurah Rai Grand Forest Park (Tahura), Denpasar City, which is also the location for G-20 mangrove planting.

During the meeting, PT.

This collaboration marks a joint commitment to maintaining environmental sustainability, while creating real solutions to overcome the problem of emissions.
