Mount Gede Pangrango Clean Action involves the nature lover community and the Indonesian Mountain Guides Association (APGI). Around 10 nature lover communities will climb and clean up plastic waste left behind in the Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park area. The waste collected from this activity will later be managed and entered into the Danone-AQUA recycling ecosystem. 

During the observations, A-type earthquakes with clear P and S-waves were observed at Gede volcano. The eruption on 13th March 1957 followed a roar from the volcano. An ash plume reached 3km high above the volcano. 

The existence of Mount Gede Pangrango is not only recorded in many Dutch documents. Gede Pangrango has been present in the ancient manuscript, Bujangga Manik from the 15th century.

In the manuscript, the Hindu traveler from Pakuan Padjadjaran, Bujangga Manik, tells that the ancient Sundanese people considered Gede Pangrango to be a sacred and sacred place. As a result, people around Pakuan know Gede Pangrango as Bukit Agueng, which means "Big Hill."

In the past, Mount Gede was called "Bukit Agueng," and it was considered very sacred to the native Indonesian people.
