Bendesa Adat Sumita, I Nyoman Wira Sugiartha, expressed his appreciation, "We are deeply grateful for this initiative. The trees planted are useful for our local community.

This is a perfect example of how environmental action can honor our traditions while securing a healthier future for Balinese people”.
