The intellectual exercise, which is made by the Center for Islamic Studies Universitas Nasional (PPI-Unas), Jakarta that leads to various actions on nature conservation, from protecting the forest and endangered wildlife from poaching, preventing forest fire, and reducing CO2 emission to fighting climate change.
