About Us

Founded in 2008, Sahabat Alam was established out of a serious apprehension regarding the state of Jakarta’s environment in the wake of the 2007-2008 Jakarta Flood. We realized Jakarta citizens of all age need to preserve the environment. This led to our first mangrove planting event.

Now, we want more children all across the globe to understand the importance of preserving the environment. As the ones inheriting the future, young generation needs to be involved in whatever treatment given to the environment. Sahabat Alam exists to serve as a vessel to unite and rally all youth towards proliferation and real actions.

  To nurture the sense of love and responsibility towards the environment at an early age through active environmental action and campaign

  To form a community of young generation with high environmental awareness regardless of distance or language barrier

  To spread early education and environmental awareness on environmental issues through critical understanding on its root causes and mitigation efforts

  To become a exemplary platform for young generation in appreciating early environmental efforts

  To transform young generation to be the agent of change towards the environment
