As a group committed to protecting the environment, KISUCI has involved people, built collaboration, and raised awareness of the importance of preserving the river ecosystem as a source of life, the initiator and chairman of Kisuci, Hayu Prabowo, told journalists in Bogor recently.

In recent years, the Cikeas River has faced serious issues, including pollution, habitat destruction and a decline in water quality, Hayu noted.

“To face this challenge, KISUCI has been active in organizing and implementing various activities to restore and maintain the sustainability of the river,” he added.
