Edit Jakarta is working on escalating the network of urban parks and forests to reach the minimum coverage of 20 percent to bring natural biodiversity back to the city. Several public parks have been rejuvenated such as Taman Lapangan Banteng, Taman Tebet, Taman Dukuh Atas.

Over the past few years, the city has also opened up broader public participation of park design through Taman Maju Bersama (TMB), using participatory design to foster social and environmental sustainability.

On the policy level, Jakarta has committed to protecting the natural environment and has released Governor regulations on trees and parks to carefully monitor the natural habitat. Together with WRI, Jakarta is currently mapping the numbers of trees and green coverage and using the real-time data for the basis of future data-driven policy on nurturing the natural habitat of the city.

Citizen participation has also been empowered through diversified stakeholders' collaboration. A shift from indoor to outdoor activities occurred since COVID 19, and the city is continuing to plan and implement hundreds of creative and sports activities to be held in the public forest and parks.
