A community group in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, said it would launch the area’s first ever green map next Sunday, detailing the location of parks and other green sites within the affluent residential complex for the sake of preservation.

Head of Pondok Indah Green Community Ricky Lestary said the launching of the Pondok Indah green map would coincide with the closing of a four-day green exhibition that would be run by the community at Pondok Indah Mall, South Jakarta, between March 11 and 14.
 
“During the event, we will run several programs, including a green expo, games and talks,” Ricky said.
On the last day of the exhibition, Ricky went on, the community would also run a green fair held on Jl. Metro Duta Niaga, one of the residential complex’s main streets, hosting food fairs, garage sales and a bicycle tour.  

Established in July last year, the community have been working to promote green lifestyle to locals.
Over the last few months, the community, with assistance from several green-based communities, including Jakarta Green Monster, Jakarta Green Map and Bike to Work, have collaborated to make the local green map.
