Enviro News Asia, Bogor – Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq has praised the Integrated Waste Management (IWM) system implemented at Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI) Bogor. According to the Minister, the waste management system at TSI Bogor serves as a model for waste management across Indonesia.
