However, with the development, the garden area has been widely used to build buildings. However, there are still many star fruit trees in the Pasir Putih area, so the local government designated it Belimbing Dewa Agrotourism.

Why not? This nature reserve has been around since the 17th century, older than the Bogor Botanical Gardens. Originally, Depok city was a lush forest area before it was transformed into a residential area. To prevent the loss of forest area, the Dutch colonial government set 30 hectares on the edge of Pitara Village as a protected forest. Depok City Nature Reserve at that time had towering trees and became a habitat for various types of birds. Rare animals still live in this forest, such as Javan tigers, antelopes, monkeys, white storks, etc. Besides, about 40,000 types of herbs also grow in this area. As the population grows, the area of this nature reserve narrows. Currently, the area of this nature reserve is only about 6 hectares. Nevertheless, this place is still lush with green trees and is home to several animals and birds. In addition, various types of plants are here, such as hazelnuts, resin, saninten, and puspa.
