Reclamation and Post Mining
Not only rehabilitating and replanting the forest, Jokowi said the government would also carry out reclamation of former mines. He mentioned that a lot of forests have encroached. "Some need to be repaired and rehabilitated already."
On the issue of mine reclamation, the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) said that the government will remind mining concession holders of their obligation to reclaim lands.
The joint records of the Mining Advocacy Network, Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi), Forest Watch Indonesia, Pokja Pesisir and Fishermen, Pokja 30, and Trend Asia, there are 94 mining pits in the area that will become the country's new capital.
Law 3/2020 mandates holders of mining concession permits to carry out reclamation and post-mining rehabilitation with a 100 percent success rate.
