We spoke with Dr. Siti Maimunah, who took the lead in this experiment, and she believes that nyamplung is the most suitable biofuel plant that we know of to grow on degraded peatland. Its adaptability to waterlogged conditions makes it perfect for peatland, which needs to remain wet to be healthy. Its ecological benefits extend further: nyamplung flowers feed bees, and its fruit supports birds and small mammals.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/en\/nyamplung-a-green-hope-for-biofuel-and-peatland-restoration\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Nyamplung: A Green Hope for Biofuel and Peatland Restoration\" tabindex=\"-1\" >\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-5958 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail__link\" href=\"https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/en\/launching-a-roadmap-for-peatland-restoration-in-indonesia\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-5962\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250522-Launching-a-Roadmap-for-Peatland-Restoration-event-Day-2-\u00a9YTS-Franatawirawan-125-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gambutkita.org\/en\/launching-a-roadmap-for-peatland-restoration-in-indonesia\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tLaunching a Roadmap for Peatland Restoration in Indonesia\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__meta-data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-date\">\n\t\t\tJuly 30, 2025\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>The Center of Peatland Science, Technology and Innovation (PPIIG) is a seven-floor building located at the edge of the campus grounds of the University of Palangka Raya.
