Biodiversity Management Plan in Indonesia

Biodiversity & Ecosystem Protection

All open-pit mine sites are required to develop a site-specific Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) based on national regulatory requirements and mitigation hierarchy. The targets of these plans are developed in the form of biodiversity index achievement, ecosystem health ratings, and variety of local plant species in the reclamation area.
The baseline data on biodiversity, including local plant species, fast-growing native plants, epiphyte, and ethnobotany, has been monitored since the pre-operational phase. The land management and reclamation plan has been developed in accordance with environmental impact assessment (EIA) and is designed to reduce the potential negative impacts on biodiversity.

Example of Site-Specific BMP for Open-Pit Mine

Management Area

• Reduce and minimize impact in accordance with the permits obtained

• Decrease erosion and sedimentation while increase soil fertility

• Execute land reclamation and revegetation as per approved plans

• Utilize conservation area as germplasm source

• Collect seeds and conduct natural extraction of endemic local plants

• Develop documentation of wildlife diversity

Reclamation Activities

• Prepare and update biodiversity inventories and ecological study reports for both flora and fauna

• Cover void with overburden material and utilize for revegetation activity

• Restore areas by planting valuable native plants

• Conduct training and workshops for employees and local communities
