Indonesia Ecological Repentance movement

Overview

The Indonesian Ministry of Environment and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) launched the ‘Ecological Repentance’ movement to address the nation’s environmental crisis by combining formal regulation with moral and spiritual awareness. Minister of Environment Jumhur Hidayat stated that the initiative seeks to drive behavioral shifts through religious values, focusing on acknowledging environmental mistakes, committing to cease destructive practices, and restoring ecosystems.

The movement began with practical activities at Lake Toba in North Sumatra. In collaboration with the State Electricity Company (PLN) Workers Union, these activities included tree planting, the release of endemic fish species, and an electric vehicle tour. Minister Hidayat emphasized the need for measurable environmental impacts over superficial metrics and indicated that the initiative would expand nationally following its implementation in North Sumatra.
