Preface

The International Symposium on Bioremediation, Biomaterial, Revegetation, and Conservation 2018 (IS BIOREV 2018) washeld at the Kusnoto building, 1st till 6th floor, Jl. Juanda 18 Bogor, Indonesia, from 27 – 28 September 2018. IS BIOREV 2018 was organized Research Center for Biology Indonesian of Indonesian Institutes of Sciences LIPI in collaboration with JICA, JST, SATREPS Project, University of Tokyo Japan, RISH-Kyoto University, Tottori University of Japan and supported by Environmental Bio-Innovations Group (EbiG) of Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and Bogo Agricultural University of Indonesia. The program presented information on advances in bioremediation and the incorporation of green and sustainable remediation and revegetation practices in remediation-revegetation in a series of technology-focused sessions. Moreover, thedevelopment and use of advanced tools for assessing and monitoring bioremediation and revegetation, as well as the challenges of applying bioremediation at various types of complex sites and under extreme climatic conditions was also became the focus of this symposium. Several sessions addressed biodegradation of emerging contaminants, revegetation, and biofuels technology as well as the evaluation and mitigation of environmental problems. The participants of the symposium were from almost every part of the world, with background of either academia or industry, even well-known enterprise. The success and prosperity of the symposium is reflected high level of the papers received. The papers that are published in this proceeding themed in the various scopes including bioremediation, waste water treatment process and technology, forestry, biochemistry, biomaterial technology, revegetation technology, microbiology, taxonomy, ecology, bioindicator, environmental technology, life cycle assessment and environmental economic. The organizing committee is gratefully acknowledging the support from many private sectors to make this event successful. We hope that IS BIOREV 2018 will be an excellent platform of discussions that put forward novel ideas and strengthen network between researchers. We are sure that the proceedings will serve the role of scientific references and knowledge that lead to the progress of science ahead. Prof. Dr. I Made Sudiana, M.Sc. Chief Organizer of IS BIOREV 2018
