Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) demonstrates its strong commitment to environmental preservation and sustainable land management through active collaboration with local communities, regional governments, and environmental management institutions in maintaining shared land ecosystems, particularly in the KHDTK Gunung Bromo and Solo Safari areas. This initiative reflects UNS’s role not only as an academic partner but also as an innovator and research leader in sustainable ecosystem management.

In the KHDTK Gunung Bromo area, UNS, through its Faculty of Forestry, collaborates with local communities to maintain and restore forest ecosystems, manage natural resources, and utilize the forest as a living laboratory for research and education. The site serves as a shared platform for students, lecturers, and community members to apply the principles of sustainable forest management and promote innovation in green development.

Meanwhile, in the management of Solo Safari, UNS engages in scientific and educational collaboration to conserve wildlife and enhance community awareness of environmental protection. This partnership involves several faculties, including the Faculty of Agriculture, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, in joint activities such as wildlife research, habitat conservation, and public environmental education. The initiative supports the creation of a modern eco-tourism model that harmonizes recreation, education, and conservation.

Through these collaborative efforts, UNS strengthens its position as a research-based university committed to supporting sustainable development. By integrating science, innovation, and community engagement, UNS continues to collaborate with local stakeholders to maintain shared land ecosystems that benefit education, research, and the welfare of surrounding communities.
