Ibukota Special Region Maskot (DKI) Jakarta is a condet salak (Salacca zalacca) and a bondol elang (Haliastur indus) match the decision of the Governor Ali Sadikin Number 1796 Year 1989. Although the image or sculpture is easy to find, the presence of condet salak is more rare in its own home area. Seakan refuse extinct, the cultivation of salak trees is still surviving in the middle of the dense village of the Ciliwung River, the village of Balekambang, Condet, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. That is the Condet Fruit Crygar Garden (KCBC), one of the few remaining lands in Jakarta where the condet salak grows fertile. Through the remaining local people's remaining exemption, the Provincial Government of Jakarta makes KCBC as the conservation area of the blackhead brown cough. The establishment process itself takes place from 2005 to 2007. Now this garden has a 4.7 hectare area with about 3,000 productive condet vinegar plants that grow in it.

Solved taste, condet salak has uniqueness has three variants at once, namely sweet, acid, and quiet. However, the taste of the sepat is not dominant. In addition, the Condet salak also has a privilege at a long productive life. Up to 70 years old, the condet salak can still be fruitless without acquaintance. The 1990s became the beginning of the fate change of the palm-paleman family plant (Arecaceae) it was in Condet.Ă…rus urbanization pushed over the function of land where the condet salak grew into the residential area of the population. Salak tree is bible, home wall-wall is built. Now the green Condet with many salak plants have changed with the dense house of the population.

All power and efforts continue to be carried out for one purpose, that is that the condet salak is not extinct from the Jakarta earth.
