In 2024, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) conducted integrated research and intervention programs to maintain and recover ecosystems under threat in two strategic areas — the Ajkwa Estuary (Papua) and Taman Kasih Sayang (Bontang). In partnership with PT Freeport Indonesia, UNDIP carried out biodiversity monitoring and ecological restoration in the Ajkwa Estuary, focusing on mangrove vegetation health, aquatic species diversity, sediment quality, and carbon stock dynamics, followed by direct replanting and hydrological rehabilitation to accelerate estuary recovery. Meanwhile, in collaboration with PT Pupuk Kaltim, UNDIP implemented post-industrial land rehabilitation and biodiversity recovery at Taman Kasih Sayang through native vegetation reintroduction, fauna recolonization assessment, and community-based environmental education.
