Universitas Indonesia works directly to maintain and extend the existing ecosystems and their biodiversity, of both plants and animals, especially endangered ecosystems. UI is committed to maintaining plant diversity, especially endangered plants in Indonesia. UPT K3L periodically monitors and maintains endangered plants in the UI urban forest and the UI campus green open space. In addition, there will be planting of endangered plants in locations that are still available in green open spaces and replacements for fallen or dead plants. Animal monitoring in the UI Campus Environment is one of the K3L UPT Environmental Management activity in animal conservation. Activities carried out in inventorying and monitoring the diversity of fauna found within the UI Campus Environment. The animal groups observed included the taxa Aves (birds), mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Universitas Indonesia (UI) offers educational programs on ecosystems (looking at wild flora and fauna) for local or national communities. UI is a campus with an area of approximately 300 hectares. Nearly 70% of the area is green open space (RTH), urban forests, and KAMPUS Lake with a variety of flora and fauna. In fact, several types of rare flora can be found in UI’s green open space and urban forests. The University of Indonesia offers ecosystem education programs to recognize and increase knowledge about flora diversity for local or national communities.

The Depok Campus of the University of Indonesia on December 8, 2022 received a visit from students from the National Plus Tunas Global School, Depok City. The purpose of this visit is to get to know and increase knowledge about the diversity of flora (plants). This activity was carried out in the East Wales City Forest section which is between the FISIP Campus and the UI KRL Station.

Supporting land ecosystems through action

Universitas Indonesia have a policy to ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems associated with the university, in particular forests, mountains and drylands. To ensure the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, the University of Indonesia designated part of the Depok Campus area for the development of urban forests through Chancellor’s Decree No. 084/SK/R/UI/1988. The construction and development of the UI city forest aims to support education and research for the University of Indonesia as well as to collect and conserve germplasm and water catchment areas. The development, arrangement, and function of the UI City Forest are also strengthened in Chancellor’s Decree No. 2446/SK/R/UI/2016 concerning the Master Plan for the New UI Depok Campus for the 2016-2026 Period.

Universitas Indonesia have a policy to identify, monitor and protect any IUCN Red Listed species and national conservation list species with habits in areas affected by the operation of our university. The University of Indonesia identifies, inventories, and monitors flora and fauna in the campus environment. The University of Indonesia relies on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia Number P.106/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/6/2018 Concerning Types of Protected Plants and Animals to identify and inventory protected flora and fauna in Indonesia and the IUCN page -Redlist for endangered flora and fauna in the campus environment. The University of Indonesia adheres to the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 1999 concerning the Preservation of Plant and Animal Species to protect protected and endangered flora and fauna identified in the UI Campus environment.

Universitas Indonesia includes local biodiversity in the planning and developing process, such as constructing new buildings. Universitas Indonesia’s (UI’s) urban forest is part of the campus area and has been so for more than 30 years. It was found that Universitas Indonesia’s urban forest was divided into three zones: Wales Barat, Wales Timur, and Natural Vegetation (consisted of trees from Jakarta and West Java). Universitas Indonesia’s urban forest has experienced secondary succession for a period of time, including eliminating dead trees, species enrichment throughout replanting, and invasive (fast-growing) species dispersion. In developing its physical areas, Universitas Indonesia adheres to the 2016 – 2026 Master Plan, which requires that all physical development to sustain the campus forest and conserve the local biodiversity. The building coefficient is maintained at 15%. All physical development planning is overseen by Universitas Indonesia Office of Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment.

 

The zoning is based on the imaginary line, which was the formed vegetation zone found by Alfred Russel Wallace and functioned as a facility for germplasm collection and conservation. Universitas Indonesia’s urban forest has experienced secondary succession for a period of time, including eliminating dead trees, species enrichment throughout replanting, and invasive (fast-growing) species dispersion. Those conditions have changed the structure of vegetation in UI’s urban forest. Reassessing the zonation of UI’s urban forest is essential. The reassessment was carried out by data inventory of replanting from 1988 to 2018 and the use of periodic inventory data. The reassessment result showed that UI’s urban forest’s zonation being a facility for germplasm collection and conservation, is not changed (has not been altered).

The University of Indonesia has a policy to reduce the impact of foreign species on campus. Invasive alien species are animals, plants or other organisms that are introduced by humans, either intentionally or accidentally, into places outside of their natural range, negatively impacting native biodiversity, ecosystem services or human economy and well-being. The University of Indonesia adheres to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia Number P.94/MenLHK/SetJen/Kum.1/12/2016 concerning Invasive Species. Efforts made to prevent and reduce the impact of invasive foreign species on biodiversity and human health are by identifying, monitoring, and evaluating as well as preventing the spread through population control. Based on monitoring and evaluation, Red Devil fish (Amphilophus labiatus) were found in all UI CAMPUS lakes with an unidentified risk level.
