Since it was created in 1817, the Bogor Botanical Garden has succeeded in conserving 60 percent of rare plant species, including endemic ones, 111 of which the International Union for the Conservation of Nature have classified as on the 'red list'. The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) is currently conducting a conservation program in four national botanical gardens. They are the gardens in Bogor and Cibodas in West Java, Purwodadi in Central Java, and in Bali. Lately, LIPI has set out to create more than 30 botanical gardens in the regions, among them in North Sumatra, South Sulawesi, West Kalimantan, Riau, and Papua.
According to Sri Rahayu, botanical gardens in the regions were established as an effort to cultivate endemic plants in their original habitat. This is important because some plants are difficult to grow outside of their habitat.
