The sons of a tea picker, the many limitations they encountered throughout their lives did not stop Kiryono, Jumpono and Dasimto from restoring the Puncak area, which is on the verge of ruin. With great patience, the three brothers encouraged the local residents to stop contributing to deforestation and instead start engaging in forest conservation efforts.
The Puncak area, which spans the districts of Cisarua and Megamendung in Bogor regency, West Java, is currently in critical condition. Almost half of the area is critical land. The upstream area of the Ciliwung river basin has experienced recurring landslides and severe flooding on an annual basis for nearly five years. The poor environmental condition of Puncak has often been linked to the frequent flooding in Jakarta.
