This activity aims to introduce the potential of Indonesia’s biodiversity, as well as raise awareness of the importance of environmental conservation.

The educational tour was guided by Mr. Anjar Triwibowo, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D. as faculty ambassador, along with student ambassadors and FST UNAIR Public Relations team. During the activity, the participants seemed enthusiastic about interacting, directly observing the condition of mangroves, and discussing environmental conservation efforts in each country.
