3. Biodiversity Richness
› Occupying only 1.3 % of the world’s land surface, Indonesia is fourth in
terms of population. It has some 12 % of the world’s mammals, 16 % of
its reptiles and amphibians, 17 %of its birds, and 25 % of fish species.
› There are approximately 600 mammal species (280 are endemic), 411
reptiles species (150 endemic), 270 amphibians (100 endemic) and
1,531 birds (26 % endemic).
› Known species of non-fish vertebrates total 2,906 (927 endemic).
› 30,000 to 35,000 plant species, the fifth highest level in the world
(BAPPENAS 1993). Indonesia is host to the world’s richest coral species
biodiversity (450 species) (Wilkinson 2000).

4. Indonesian Regulation
› The main acts: Biodiversity Conservation (1990), Spatial Planning
(1992), and Environmental Protection and Management (2009)
and in the Basic Forestry Law (1999);
› In addition, involvement of international donors in nature
conservation require the GOI to abide by the conditions of loan
agreements (e.g., Development of a Park Zonation and Boundary
Plan, 1998)
› The principal agency in charge is the DG of Protection and Nature
Conservation from the MOF. Ministry of Environmental acts as a
coordinating agency and has prepared together with BAPPENAS,
the Biodiversity Action Plan in Indonesia.

5. International Framework
› IFC Performance Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and
Sustainable Natural Resource Management
› To protect and conserve biodiversity.
› To maintain the benefits from ecosystem services.
› To promote the sustainable management of living natural resources
through the adoption of practices that integrate conservation needs and
development priorities.
› Requirements: consider relevant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem
services, especially focusing on habitat loss, degradation and
fragmentation, invasive alien species, overexploitation, hydrological
changes, nutrient loading, and pollution

6. International Framework
› The BBOP (Business and Biodiversity Offsets
Programme) - ‘Biodiversity Offsets’
› actions designed to compensate for significant residual adverse
biodiversity impacts arising from project development.
› to achieve no net loss and preferably a net gain: species composition,
habitat structure, ecosystem function and people’s use and cultural
values.

7. International Framework
› The ICMM (International Council on Mining and Metals)
Toolkit
› to help site practitioners and their support groups make sound
decisions based on closure aspects in a holistic manner.
› to be used to promote a more disciplined approach to integrated
closure planning and to increase the uniformity of good practices
across the sector. The concepts apply equally well to both large and
small companies.
› For Biodiversity: Tool-13, and the guideline: Good Practice

9. Mining and Protected Areas
› Many mining areas are located
adjacent to protected areas
(national parks, protection forest,
other conservation areas);
› Big mining companies has a good
system in place to manage
biodiversity component;
› Small mining companies,
moreover illegal miners does not
have enough capacity and
resources to properly manage the
biodiversity.
