Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) lecturers from UNY involved in the course “Environmental Science and Natural Resource Conservation” joined forces with Sahabat Bekantan Indonesia (SBI) to provide students with real-world insight into wildlife conservation—specifically the endemic proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus).

The lecturers involved were Dr. Anggi Tias Pratama, S.Pd., M.Pd.; Rio Christy Handziko, M.Pd.; and Dr. Agung Wijaya Subiantoro, M.Pd.

A group of UNY students successfully developed an environmentally friendly innovation: a biofungicide made from fermented rice straw and a microbial consortium, named BlasOryzin. The product is designed specifically to prevent blast disease in rice plants and to increase the resilience of the plants.

The Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta carried out a series of activities in Kalurahan Bugel, Kapanewon Panjatan, Kulon Progo — namely the planting of trees at Pantai Bidara on Saturday.

The tree-planting was done by the Regional Secretary’s Expert Staff of the Kulon Progo Regency, Drs. Eko Pranyoto, UNY’s Vice-Rectors and several local officials.

The Faculty of Language, Arts and Culture of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta organized a social service outing for FBSB UNY International Students at Parangkusumo Beach. With the title "Beach Clean Up", this activity is a social service of beach cleaning, eco-bricking workshops and literacy-based fun activities with children around the beach.

Household waste is one of the most crucial problems nowadays. In big cities, waste is a significant problem that is still difficult to solve. Based on the type of waste itself, it is divided into two parts: organic waste, which can be decomposed with the help of micro-organisms, and inorganic waste, which cannot be decomposed naturally.

UNY has committed to a sustainable green campus through the UNY's Rector Regulation number 20 of 2017 and strengthened by the Rector's Regulation number 16 of 2021. UNY has ensured that various waste is sorted accordingly. This sorting ensures that each type of waste/garbage that exists can be managed optimally.

Covid-19  caused people to carry out activities at home. One of the activities that the community can do to support their daily food needs is to plant crops and raise fish.
