Batam is one of the cities of industry, trade and tourism and is visited by more than 1 million tourists from abroad every year.
The development of this city is a challenge in itself for environmental preservation, especially since coastal areas and forests are being eroded by abrasion so that the area has been decreasing.
In order to preserve the environment, the government also came to the MOU in 2012 and began construction in 2014.
Batam Botanical Garden is a form of nature conservation so that 58.57 land areas or approximately 23,430 ha of Batam area can be saved.

The theme of the collection of this garden is small island plants and the Indonesian coast. The address of this location is on Jalan Hang Lekiu, Sambau, Nongsa, Batam.
Batam Botanical Garden plant collection
The theme of this tour is the conservation of small island plants in Indonesia. The collection plan is based on the biogeographic region covering the archipelago collection of the Sundaland region, the Wallacea region, the New Guinea region, the Oceanea region, and other parts of the world.
These thematic parks such as the maze garden, flower garden, children garden and others are also planned to be the strength of this botanical garden. In addition, coastal areas such as mangrove forests are maintained for forested areas.

This area can be accessed using a wooden track bridge. There are 452 nurseries with 7,574 specimens, and 25 types of gardens with 88 specimens.
In its role as a National Single Window in the world of international trade, Batam has developed into a modern city and has modern architectural buildings. However, it does not leave behind the inherent Malay cultural facts.
Moreover, many names of Malay figures are used as names of public facilities, so that the development of this tourism is in the design of a built space and becomes a combination of modern architecture and Malay cultural roots.
As a way to attract visitors, a botanical skyway will be built which will connect the main reception zone and the second reception zone. This vehicle can give visitors the opportunity to enjoy the collection from above.
