Tin mining invitation code
The residents of Bangka island and Belitung island like to call their residence "Babel". When it comes to environmental activities, the word has another meaning: Babak Belur. It comes in handy when it comes to environmental issues
e to over exploitation, the soil in Bangjia island and Belitung island was seriously damaged. Not only big pits full of sewage all year round can be seen everywhere, but also hills made of excavated soil can be seen everywhere. These mounds are no different from the barren hills left by deforestation. These are common landscapes in villages on Bangka island and Belitung island. Land reclamation and vegetation restoration should be started immediately after the tin mine is mined, but in fact, few people do it. Especially in the areas where tin mines are illegally mined, a large number of earth pits and mounds have appeared in the past three years
the number of illegal mining units has increased rapidly, reaching 4350 in the past three years. They have become the most destructive factor of soil in Bangjia island and Belitung island. Such accusations are not excessive. Let's imagine: if an average illegal mine g two holes, there would be 8700 holes. This does not include the excavation work of Pt tambang Timah and Pt kobatin
the two legal mining companies are not blameless on the issue of environment. According to Yan megawandi, the former head of the Environment Office of the Regency of Bonga, the former mining areas of Pt Timah and Pt kobatin also did little reclamation and vegetation restoration. Unfortunately, some of the restored areas have been rediscovered by small illegal mining companies. As a result, the new tree died
the environmental damage caused by mining also affects the ocean. According to eKa mulya Putra, an observer of tin mining, the coastal mining area has g many holes in the seabed, because these holes erode the coastal areas of Bangka island and Belitung Island, and the coral reefs will be destroyed
The serious damage to the environment prompted the Bangka provincial government to give priority to solving the problem of illegal small mines. Acting governor Amur muchsim said that considering that thousands of illegal "holes" provide 14.5% of the province's population's income, the problem of small-scale mining in Indonesia needs to be dealt with in stages. In addition, restoring the environment will require a lot of money. He also said that even if pttimah's assets were sold, it would not be enough to make up for the widespread damageboth Pt Timah and Pt kobatin have budgets for reclamation and vegetation restoration. But in 2001 they may not give a cent. The reason is simple: After Reclamation and restoration of vegetation, illegal miners will dig the soil again. In this way, what is the significance of their reclamation and vegetation restoration? In order to overcome the problem of environmental damage, Pt Timah has taken many measures. One of them is the registration of illegal mining areas from September 1 to September 15, 2001. Those who violate the regulations to mine the restored areas must stop their activities before September 10, 2001. 'if they don't follow the rules, we will take legal action,' said Darwin, chairman of Pt tambang timahs
although the problem of small-scale mining will not be improved in a short time, Indonesia has been on the right track since 1998. In Indonesia, the government considers most SSM projects illegal (even if some were legal before). In the past 10 years or so, they have not made any positive changes. In fact, since 1998, the situation has been even worse. This means more harm to the environment, more damage to Indonesian rivers, more mercury pollution and more resource destruction
since 1998, all mining activities have been controlled by the Ministry of energy and mineral resources of Jakarta. That is to say, centralized management. When problems arise in SSM related activities, the provincial and local governments will say lightly that this is the problem of the central government, not ours. In most cases, when there is a conflict of interest, the central government can only use force to dispatch troops and police. Since the implementation of the policy of regional autonomy on January 1, 2001, governments at all levels, from the central government to the local government, have not been prepared and have no corresponding guiding program. In fact, in the process of dealing with any administrative affairs, the provincial and local governments are in a mess and their responsibilities are unclear. The lack of leadership from the top down has led to anarchy in the region. As a result, conflicts between all small and regular mining instries, except diamond, continue. There is no conflict in the diamond instry because there are no commercial diamond mining companies. If the situation has improved, it is that the Indonesian government and people are beginning to realize the environmental damage caused by small-scale mining. In addition, despite inadequate preparation for regional autonomy and decentralization, local governments will eventually do better than ever, including the operation and management of small-scale mining. They still need technology, money and guidance
