Workshop Précis

Issues in Tropical Forest Rehabilitation Post Mining in Borneo

The objective of the workshop is to provide participants with an understanding of the issues facing miners and government in the development of resource extraction in the tropical forest environment, in particular in the Indonesian Kalimantan States of Borneo.  The extraction of coal is occurring on a massive scale in virgin rainforest in the face of conditions of heavy rainfall, acid forming soils and difficult terrain.  Such mining is regulated strictly by strong national Forestry Law that regulates the management of the three categories of forests (conservation forests, protection forests and production forests) in Indonesia.  Participants will learn how such regulation is bringing about exemplary practices in dealing with acidic water treatment, reforestation, conservation of threatened and displaced fauna, and the generation of post-mining support in the form of new agricultural and commercial enterprises to provide employment for local peoples.
