Water hyacinths fill a wetland beside Jakarta’s Dukuh Atas LRT station

Water hyacinths fill a wetland beside Jakarta’s Dukuh Atas LRT station

A wetland beside Dukuh Atas LRT station in Jakarta is covered with water hyacinths.

From a distance, the plants look like a broad green grass field.

Up close, the area is filled with water hyacinths rather than grass.

Birds are also gathering in the wetland among the plants.

The green patch stands out against the tall buildings and busy urban surroundings.

It offers a distinctive natural scene in a densely built-up part of the city.

No further action or plans for the area are described.
