UI Forest, (Indonesian: Hutan UI) is a significant green space located within the University of Indonesia (UI) campus. It serves as a natural reserve and a vital ecological area, providing a habitat for various plant and animal species. The forest covers a substantial area and is used for educational and research purposes, particularly in the fields of biology, environmental science, and forestry.[1]

Background

[edit]

This forest was established in 1983 on the initiative of Prof. Dr. Ir.  Sambas Wirahadikusumah, M.Sc., a lecturer at UI. The main aim of establishing this forest is to create a green space that can function as a water catchment area, germplasm preservation, and biodiversity research area for students.[2]
