Revegetating the Exploited: Principles and Practices of Land Reclamation

Invited Partners

  • South Sulawesi Regional Mining Inspector Director General of Minerals and Quarries Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
  • Faculty of UNHAS’ Technical Students’ Organization
  • Bosowa
  • Watershed Management Agency under Ministry of Forestry and Environment of Indonesia

Background

For over years, scientists have been trying to fasten the revegetation state by understanding the ecological system of the plants, as of fact that many of the planted plants have been lacking nutrients along its growth1. While the global society is trying to develop new ways on earth extraction, such seismicity and landslides are still a risk of subsidence that need more attention to be discussed2. Hence, integrating a long term plan of reclamation is needed in recovering the ecosystem. One of the crucial parts is revegetation, where plants are being planted artificially with the aims of enriching the land and can reforested the area in a fast way. However, there are several principles on revegetating the land, as even though the plant is suitable for the land, it somehow can be creating long term disturbance when it is inva1sive or creating chemical problems within the soil. Theoretically, we as a student have been good at spotting the issue. Whereas such expertise sharing has not been adequately equipped.

Aims

This workshop aims to share knowledge between industry to students with several points hope to be reach:

  1. How is the current policy of land reclamation? 
  2. What to be prepared for the revegetation?
  3. How to manage revegetation?
  4. What to be kept in mind as someone who wants to work on revegetation?
