The enactment of health protocols such as PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) in a number of regions is one of the government's steps to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Indonesia. The application of this rule in the campus environment, including Campus IPB, has an impact on the reduced economic activity of the community around the campus. These conditions encourage Danone Specialized Nutrition (SN) Indonesia to carry out one of its sustainability initiatives in the Biodiversity Park (Kehati) located at the IPB Campus in Dramaga, Bogor, West Java.

Park Kehati development collaboration program is one of the manifestations of the Green Campus 2020 initiative which is a high commitment of IPB University in building a culture of increasing energy efficiency and conservation of biological resources. This effort is done through improving the quality of the environment, to create a healthy campus environment and a conducive learning environment in a sustainable manner.
