One of ESSA’s commitments to environmental management is reflected in its biodiversity protection program, which supports the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 for 2030. This goal aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, manage forests sustainably, combat desertification, restore degraded land, and halt biodiversity loss through conservation programs.
ESSA has been carrying out this conservation initiative since 2016 and has released 410 Maleo birds into their natural habitat, contributing 4.54% to the national target of increasing the population of 25 priority wildlife species by 10% compared to the 2019 baseline (as set by the Directorate General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation – KSDAE) for the 2023–2025 period. . |
