Cultivation of economically valuable plants from the forest of Mount Blindis to improve the economy and health of the community around the mine.

Mount Blindis is one of the conservation areas within the cement mining area of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Palimanan Unit, Cirebon. This conservation area is 50 hectares, consisting of 30 hectares of Mount Blindis and 20 hectares of Mount Sari. Mount Blindis has various species of plants that are useful either economically or as medicinal plants. These plant species can be propagated and utilized by the community around the mine to improve their welfare economically and health. In this project, we will search for economically valuable plants and medicinal plants that will later be propagated and taught to the community around the mine how to propagate them. Furthermore, the community can propagate these species of plants independently for sale or use for their own interests (health).
