As an educational institution that prioritizes innovation and sustainability, Telkom University continues to be committed to realizing a green and environmentally friendly campus environment. One concrete step of this commitment is the campus greening program through tree planting and green area management that aims to create a healthier, more comfortable space that supports the natural ecosystem. This initiative is not only an effort to beautify the campus, but also part of the campus’s grand vision to build a sustainable Green Campus.

Why is Greening Important for a Green Campus?

Campus greening is not only about aesthetics, but also involves many aspects of environmental sustainability. Trees and green plants provide many benefits to the environment, including:

Absorbing carbon dioxide: Trees can absorb CO2 and produce oxygen, which is important for reducing air pollution and maintaining clean air quality in the campus environment.

Regulating micro-temperature: Green areas help lower the temperature of the surrounding environment through the process of evaporation and filtering sunlight, creating a cooler microclimate around the campus.

Supporting biodiversity: By planting various types of plants and trees, the campus can become a habitat for local wildlife, including birds and insects that are important for the ecosystem.

Through this greening initiative, Telkom University strives to maintain the ecological balance of the campus, while providing a more comfortable atmosphere for students, lecturers, and the entire academic community.

Planting Trees for a Greener Future

One of the main programs in the Green Campus initiative at Telkom University is planting trees in various areas of the campus. This planting is carried out in stages, involving students, staff, and the surrounding community to be directly involved in the process. Several types of trees selected are trees that are suitable for the climate and soil conditions in Bandung, and have long-term ecological benefits.

Positive Impact of Greening on the Campus and Surrounding Community

The greening of the campus at Telkom University has had a broad positive impact, not only for the campus itself, but also for the surrounding community. The large and well-maintained green area helps improve air quality and reduce pollution in the environment around the campus. In addition, a green and environmentally friendly campus creates a healthier atmosphere and supports the physical and mental well-being of all campus residents.

This program also provides a real example of how educational institutions can take an active role in protecting and preserving the environment. Telkom University hopes that this greening initiative can inspire other campuses and surrounding communities to do the same, so that environmental conservation efforts can develop even more widely.

Towards a More Sustainable Green Campus Future

Greening is just one aspect of the Green Campus initiative that Telkom University continues to develop. In the future, the campus plans to continue to expand green areas, plant more trees, and develop more sustainability programs. All of these steps are taken as part of Telkom University’s efforts to contribute to environmental sustainability and create a greener future.

With a full commitment to the Green Campus vision, Telkom University has proven that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. Through greening programs and other green initiatives, the campus continues to move towards a more sustainable future, where technology, education, and the environment can unite to create a better world.
