Ahmad Zaki, the owner and head of the Shahabat Alam Minangkabau Forest Farmers Group, demonstrated the process of opening galo-galo honey hives in Balai Gadang, Koto Tangah, Padang, on September 30, 2026. This honey cultivation has been seriously developed since 2022, with the group now managing around 200 colonies. Zaki, a 27-year-old master's student in Electrical Engineering at Universitas Andalas, explained that the initiative aims to redirect community activities that could harm forest areas by promoting honey farming instead.
