Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI) provides free public access to its open and green spaces, aligning with SDG 11. The campus spans 7,241,059 m², with significant areas dedicated to environmental use.

A large portion, 2,228,520 m² (32% of the total area), is preserved as natural forest, while 1,405,310 m² (19%) is used for tree planting, including fruit trees. These green spaces also function as “living laboratories” for student and researcher learning.

Key accessible areas include:

• Taman Firdaus: A 70-hectare park in Indralaya. This space is open to the public free of charge, although visitors must obtain prior permission from campus officials for management or commercial purposes.
• Arboretum: A 5-hectare section within the natural forest established in 2007. This area actively conserves native tree species (such as Alstonia scholaris and Parkia speciosa) by systematically removing invasive Acacia mangium.
