Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) is an area that is a fortress of abrasion and erosion (soil erosion) in the coastal area of Jakarta. In PIK, there is a Mangrove forest tourism area that covers an area of 99 hectares and 40% of the land in this forest area is used for the conservation of beautiful and natural mangrove forests. However, Jakarta remains a flood-prone area due to poor water absorption and rising sea levels. For this reason, LindungiHutan through a nature campaign will plant Rhizophora Mangrove trees that can settle mud in the roots of mangrove trees, thereby preventing seawater intrusion into the mainland. In addition, Rhizophora Mangroves have roots that can accelerate the decomposition of organic waste and chemical waste that can pollute the sea. Planting Mangroves in this area is a defense measure against the risk of flooding in Jakarta. Until 2021, LindungiHutan has planted 4437 trees in a 1.64 ha area and absorbed 1.07 tons of CO2 eqv.
