This strategic initiative was advanced through meetings and discussions between the leadership of FMIPA UNEJ and their counterparts at the FMIPA UNSRAT. The opportunity for academic collaboration arose on the sidelines of the 23rd National Mathematics Conference (KNM XXIII) organized by IndoMS (October 16–17). “This is a significant momentum to open up opportunities for collaboration in education, research, community service, and human resource development between the two institutions, specifically within their respective Faculties of Mathematics and Natural Sciences,” stated Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., Dean of FMIPA UNEJ.

Prof. Dafik noted that this formal forum provided an excellent opportunity to establish more intensive communication with the leadership of the FMIPA Sam Ratulangi University. “Various opportunities for cooperation were discussed, including the organization of joint seminars and guest lectures, cross-disciplinary research collaboration, faculty and student exchanges, and the development of academic programs designed to enhance the quality of the tridarma,” he continued. It is hoped that this synergy will strengthen the institutional capacity of both faculties while expanding their contributions to the advancement of science, particularly in the fields of mathematics and the natural sciences.

FMIPA UNEJ and the KPH Perhutani of Jember Strengthen Biodiversity Collaboration in Forest Areas

The Forest Management Unit (KPH) of Jember, along with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) of Jember University, conducted a biodiversity inventory and observation in the Sumberjati RPH of the Sempolan Forest Management Unit (BKPH Sempolan) and the Grintingan RPH of the Wuluhan Forest Management Unit (BKPH Wuluhan) (February 25th). This activity demonstrated the synergy between forest managers and educational institutions in supporting environmental conservation. The Administrator of the Perhutani KPH Jember, Eko Teguh Prasetyo, through the Head of the Environment and Occupational Health and Safety Sub-Section, Ety Sri Wulandari, stated that this collaboration was no ordinary field activity. “This biodiversity activity represents our commitment to opening up collaboration with universities. Forests are not only managed for production, but also for maintaining their ecological function. Students can learn directly, and we obtain important data on the condition of flora and fauna in the field,” said Ety.

According to her, identifying flora and fauna and observing ecosystem conditions are crucial as the basis for sustainable forest management planning. The data obtained can later serve as a reference for policy-making and conservation programs. Meanwhile, the Supervising Lecturer and Vice Dean I of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Jember (UNEJ), Prof. Hari Sulistyowati, expressed her appreciation for the full support from Perhutani KPH Jember. “We are very grateful for this opportunity. Students not only learn theory in the classroom, but also gain a first-hand understanding of the dynamics of forest ecosystems. This is a valuable experience for fostering awareness and responsibility for environmental sustainability,” she said. Continue reading →
