Managing the socio-economic impact of tin mining on Bangka Island, Indonesia - preparation for closure

Tin mines in the Bangka Belitung Islands have been exploited for about a hundred years. Following the issuance of a 1999 Ministry of Trade and Industry decree that tin is not an export item to be monitored and regulated, the Bangka regent issued a decree giving permission for the people to mine tin in 2001. Consequently, “unconventional mines” (tambang inkonvensional), the term used to describe local small-scale tin mines, have expanded significantly since 2000. Bangka Island has a surface of 11,900 km2 and is mainly lowland below 50 m with some hills up to 700 m; climatic differences within the island are small. Its climate is hot and wet with an average annual rainfall of approximately 2,400 mm. Mining activities are spread across the island and run by one publicly listed tin mining company, dozens of private companies and thousands artisanal mining groups. Tin mining activities increase the wealth of the people, but they decrease environmental stability. Offshore mining has reduced water quality as total soluble solids have increased and pH decreased; changes in the seabed have caused changes in benthic flora, fauna and plankton diversity and an increased mortality index of coral reefs and their associated fish. The number of fish caught in the offshore mining site has decreased. Inland mining activity has reduced soil fertility and flora and fauna diversity. Inland mining has reduced the number of individuals, species and plant families. In some areas, illegal mining causes floods in the rainy season and damages roads and bridges. Socio-economic secondary data were collected from various sites on Bangka Island through a literature review. In addition to inadequate commitment and political will on the part of the local and national governments, a low level of law enforcement seems to be a dominant factor in the low environmental awareness. These findings may be used to accelerate the mine closure program started by the largest tin mining company. This paper illustrates some opportunities and alternatives

Impact of tin mining on the biota of Bangka Island, Indonesia a proof to convince the tin supply chain of smartphones companies

Tin mining in Bangka Belitung islands has is about hundred years old. The islands are the largest tin producing islands in the world, second after China. Tin was exploited by the local people long time before the monopoly of VOC – a Dutch trading company in 18th century. From the occupation until the independence era, the local people had not been involved in mining. In 1999 the Department of Trade and Industry changed the tin trading status so that tin is not an export item to be watched over and regulated. This was followed by the issuance of the Bangka regent decree to legalize mining for people. That was a false perception, however believed by local government and people. While the excitement of freely mining is difficult to stop, the law enforcement proved to be weak. On one hand tin mining activities increase the wealth of the people, on the other hand they change and decrease the environmental stability. Unconventional miners (tambang inkonvensional – TI), the term used to describe local small scale tin mines, have expanded significantly since 2000. Unfortunately most of the TI activities are being carried out without regard to good mining practices, safety of land reclamation. In the last two years, local, national and international environmental non-government organizations (NGOs) have increased their campaign against exported tin ingot produced by non-standard practices. A foreign investigation found that it is highly likely that a smartphone has illegal Bangkanese tin in it. Huge foreign coverage in the media has given trouble to some smartphones companies, and local private miners and smelter owners. At the end of 2013, an international seminar to facilitate discussion on that issue was held in Pangkalpinang, Bangka Island. It was attended by some overseas smartphones representatives, local and international consultants, local and international environmental NGOs, local government, local private miners and smelter owners, and academics. Pluses and minuses of tin mining activities mostly by TI miners with regard to socioeconomic aspects, including the destruction of infrastructure, seem no objection in the reports, but the biological aspects do have substance. As a proof to convince tin supply chain to smartphone companies, this paper presents some evidence on the negative impact of non-standard tin mining operations to land and off-shore biotas. The decrease of biodiversity on the land system, in land and off-shore water bodies, and some oceanic biotas is discussed

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Probio_Fm dalam Penerapan Sistem Integrasi Sapi Kelapa Sawit di Bangka Tengah

The integrated cattle and oil palm system is part of an excellent program of the Bangka Tengah Regency to increase the production of plantation and livestock. The benefit of the system is ensuring the availability of the animal feed derived from oil palm plantation waste while the feces of cattle is potential in producing the fertilizer for oil palm. The community service aims to alter the paradigm of the society on the integrated cattle and oil palm system as well as to empower the people to implement the system. Four steps were used as the methods to implement the programs are preparation; socialization; simulation; and monitoring and evaluation. Qualitative descriptive was employed to analyze the data. The program found that 90% of stock farmers agreed that the system was easily doable. The stock farmers were able to use the probio_Fm technology in implementing the system by making the silage made from the oil palm plantation waste. The knowledge of beneficiaries had increased and their behavior in feeding activities had positively altered through the program. It was found that the livestock required a week to adapt to the silage as the fermented materials in the probio-Fm technology. The use of a chopping machine was able to be a choice as it was able to produce the smoother chopped midrib. It concludes that the system is sustainably used to be implemented by Tunas Baru stock farmer

The Impact of tin mining in Bangka Belitung and its reclamation studies

Tin mining in Bangka Belitung has been exploited for hundred years. The province is the second largest tin producer in the world. Secondary data from studies which took place in all four regencies in Bangka Island were discussed to show the impact of mining activities and its reclamation studies. In order to add plant selection criteria for regevetate mined soil, the greenhouse and laboratory experiment was carried out with fourteen herbs and grass species in Tennessee. The mining activities increase the wealth of the community, but the other hand they change and decrease the environmental stability, and cause horizontal conflicts. Offshore mining reduced water quality, change sea bed caused the change of biodiversity. Onshore mining activity reduces biodiversity and causes floods and damages infrastructure. While the more economic species are demanded, planting local tree species is challenging. An evaluation with local tree species concluded that best adapted species based on anatomical and physiological measurements was not those that showed the best performance in the field. The greenhouse and laboratory findings indicate that some physiological characteristics i.e. plant height and cover, transpiration rate, and foliar pigments may be used to select plant adaptability to mined soil
