BUKITTINGGI, Indonesia: June 4, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tree-planting programme involving 1,000 seedlings was held as part of the 4th International Minangkabau Literacy Festival (IMLF) 2026, reflecting a shared commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative, held at Tabiang Barasok, also formed part of the centenary celebration of Jam Gadang, one of Bukittinggi’s most iconic tourism landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bukittinggi Vice Mayor Isnu Asis said the programme aimed to preserve the environment for future generations while encouraging public participation in conservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, people from various parts of the world have gathered with one common purpose \u2014 to protect, care for and green the earth for future generations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He welcomed delegates from various countries, including Sabah, and thanked them for participating in the four-day festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Isnu, the programme was initially planned with only 100 seedlings but was expanded to 1,000 following support from the city leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe programme represents our effort to maintain environmental sustainability and improve quality of life through reforestation and the expansion of green spaces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the centenary celebration of Jam Gadang should not only commemorate Bukittinggi’s heritage but also strengthen environmental awareness among the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree-planting initiative forms part of the city’s broader efforts to preserve its natural beauty while supporting sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a representative of the West Sumatra Regional Police, Anis, said the force was pleased to support IMLF 2026, describing the festival as an important platform for promoting cultural and environmental awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said environmental issues have become increasingly significant in West Sumatra following a series of natural disasters and environmental challenges in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under its culture policing programme, the police have incorporated environmental conservation into community engagement activities, including tree-planting projects in flood- and landslide-affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anis said about 8,000 trees have been planted across the province to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its support for IMLF 2026, the West Sumatra Regional Police contributed 1,000 tree seedlings, which were symbolically handed over to the festival organising committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
