After 40 years of working as a tea picker, Jaya, 53, was laid off by the company and forced to leave the housing for plantation workers in Kampung Cibulao, Tugu Utara village, Cisarua district, Bogor regency, West Java. In fact, together with other tea pickers, they can reforest the hilly slopes in Cibulao village.

Regreening a tea plantation area of more than 500 hectares (ha) managed by PT Sumber Sari Bumi Pakuan (SSBP) in Tugu Utara village is not an easy matter.
