Indonesia's biodiversity is one of the natural resources whose authenticity should be maintained. The reason is that diversity (biodiversity) is what makes human environmental life continue for the next generation. Since 2013 until now, through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, Bio Farma has carried out several activities related to biodiversity conservation.
For Bio Farma, biodiversity is a gift that must be preserved. So, in 2020, Bio Farma's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will focus programs in the field of biodiversity in several regional locations in West Java. Bio Farma's CSR aims to have a positive impact on biodiversity and participate in protecting the natural habitat of flora and fauna in Indonesia. Therefore, CSR Bio Farma is carrying out a biodiversity protection program in one of the conservation areas in Leuwiliang Village, Bandung Regency, namely at Taman Buru Masigit Kareumbi (TBMK).
This TBMK conservation area has dozens of biodiversity in it. The TBMK Conservation Area is a natural habitat for flora and fauna in Indonesia. The following are several types of fauna in the Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park. For Fauna Types, Bio Farma succeeded in conserving 69 types of animals from various families, consisting of 45 birds, 6 mammals and 18 types of butterflies. As the home of flora and fauna, the TBMK Conservation Area certainly needs to maintain its beauty.
However, as time goes by, some of the land in the TBMK Conservation Area has decreased due to some of the land being converted. This creates critical land problems in the TBMK area. Therefore, CSR Bio Farma created a Critical Land Rehabilitation program in several TBMK Conservation Areas by carrying out reforestation to restore the function of the land. Apart from that, CSR Bio Farma also carried out a Tree Guardian program in the TBMK area in the Ciengang Petak 70 block. In this tree guardian program, CSR Bio Farma succeeded in planting 500 seedlings for the tree guardian program. The following is a list of plants that were successfully sown by Bio Farma in the Tree Guardian program. During the 2018 - 2019 period, Bio Farma's CSR succeeded in planting seven types of trees, including Ki Cangkudu (Morinda sp), Baros (Manglietia glauca), Ki Sieum (Syzygium zelyanicum), Puspa (Schima wallichii) and Ketapang (Terminalia catappa).
Bio Farma's biodiversity protection activities include, among other things, those declared critically endangered and rare/threatened endemic flora. Determination of the status of fauna and flora species refers to the Red List published by the International Union for Conservation (IUCN). Since 2011 - 2019, Bio Farma has conserved 22 Fauna and 8 Flora with Critically Endangered (CR) status.
