Coal mining in Borneo imperils the island’s fast-disappearing forests and threatens to undermine the effectiveness of an monumental conservation initiative, according to a report from the The Sunday Times and Parliamentary testimony. BHP Billiton, the world’s largest mining company, plans to develop seven “forest mines” in the so-called “Heart of Borneo”, an expanse of biodiverse rainforest on the tropical island that is home to orangutans and other endangered species. Documents obtained by the The Sunday Times suggest that the Australia-based mining firm has lobbied to have the protected status of some areas lifted so it can begin operations. Barry Gardiner, the recently appointed special representative on forestry for British prime minister Gordon Brown, said in Parliamentary testimony that despite pro-conservation overtones, BHP Billiton has pressed hard for mining in the biologically rich areas. “The new, democratic Indonesian Government took commendably swift action to protect their remaining forests following the overthrow of the Suharto regime. On 30 September 1999, the Government enacted laws giving protected forest status to many of the remaining highland and key watershed areas. Included in that protected forest status were five out of seven concessions that the giant Anglo-Australian company BHP Billiton had, shall we say, secured under the Suharto regime,” Gardiner said. More about Borneo Borneo overview Borneo conservation news Forestry law No. 41 of the statute book of the Republic of Indonesia in the year 1999 No. 167, addition to the national statute book No. 3888, clause 38, sub-clause 4 strictly states that open-cast coal mining is prohibited in protected forest areas. Having already invested approximately $40 million in exploring the potential of those concessions, BHP Billiton was not going to see them rendered effectively worthless without a fight. Along with a number of other companies, BHP Billiton lobbied to have the concessions reinstated. It did more than lobby: it threatened to bankrupt the fledgling democratic Government by launching legal proceedings to demand compensation. The new Parliament first refused to buckle, but that group of foreign companies applied significant international political pressure.” Gardiner continued, saying that BHP Billiton met directly with then president Megawati Sukarnoputri and “persuaded” her — by threatening to sue the fledgling democracy for $22 billion — to illegally overrule Indonesia’s Parliament. The company eventually secured 20,000 hectares of previously protected forests, according to Gardiner. BHP Billiton: friend or foe to conservation? BHP Billiton maintains that it will conduct operations in a manner than minimizes the impact on the rainforest environment. To its credit, the firm has sponsored protection initiatives for the charismatic orangutan in other parts of the country. Nevertheless, its presence in the Heart of Borneo is a concern for conservationists, especially given its track record in other sites. “This is going to be a belt of mines right across rainforest. It will drive out wildlife and will be a disaster for the island,” David Chivers, of the Wildlife Research Group at Cambridge University, told the The Sunday Times. “BHP Billiton is a climate dinosaur. A deluge of base camps, roads, and open-cast pits would eat the heart of this island from the inside out.” Farah Sofa, deputy director of Indonesian environmental group Walhi, was quoted as saying. “The Heart of Borneo is a promising conservation initiative but these proposed coal mines are an inauspicous start,” Dr. Francis Q. Brearley, a researcher from Manchester Metropolitan University who has worked in Central Borneo, told mongabay.com. “The forests in this area would have a much brighter future if they were to be maintained intact and economic value could be gained from the carbon stored within them” Still, argues environmental group WWF, conservationists may have better luck dealing with BHP Billiton, a large multinational that will face public scrutiny and international pressure on its operations, than smaller firms less concerned about their reputation. WWF says that should BHP Billiton pull out, less accountable companies may well move in, causing even more damage. Borneo’s forests Since 1980 Borneo’s forests have been reduced by more than one-third, mostly as the result of industrial logging, which later fueled large-scale fires (especially severe in the el Niño years of 1982-1983 and 1997-1998) and land conversion for oil palm plantations. WWF projects that by 2020 less than one third of Borneo’s forest cover will remain, mostly in the central highlands of the island, while the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says that 98 percent of orangutan habitat will disappear by 2022. Presently about two-thirds of Borneo’s most biodiverse ecosystems, the lowland Dipterocarp forests, have been lost. Since 2000 Borneo has had the world’s highest deforestation rate with annual forest loss approaching 4 percent per year. While the conservation community received positive news in February 2007 when the governments of Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia, working with WWF, agreed to protect roughly 220,000 square kilometers (85,000 square miles) of tropical forest in the so-called “Heart of Borneo”, a prominent group of scientists from the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation say that the initiative does not do enough to safeguard the island’s most biodiverse ecosystems: its lowland forests. BHP Billiton & Vale lawsuit (re dam collapse in Brazil) Brazil dams disaster_credit_Antonio Cruz Agencia Brasil_http://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/geral/noticia/2015-11/another-body-engulfed-mud-found-minas-gerais Proceedings in Brazil On 5 November 2015, two mining dams operated by Samarco Mineração SA, a joint venture of Vale and BHP Billiton, collapsed in Brazil releasing 50 million cubic meters of toxic iron-ore residue. The residue destroyed the nearby district of Bento Rodrigues killing 19 and polluting the water supply of hundreds of thousands of residents. Two weeks later, Samarco signed a $262 million agreement with the Brazilian Government to fund mitigation and remedial measures for the environmental disaster. On 2 March 2016, Samarco reached a heavily criticized $6 billion settlement to restore the severely damaged environment and indemnify the affected communities. Andrew Mackenzie, CEO Of BHP Billiton stated, “This agreement is an important step in supporting the long-term recovery of the affected communities and the environment.” However, Brazilian prosecutors insisted the deal did not guarantee proper cleanup and damages because the affected populations were not included in settlement talks. On 3 May 2016, the prosecutors filed a $44 billion civil lawsuit in Brazil for cleanup and restoration costs. On 16 March 2017, a judge suspended the lawsuit to facilitate the negotiations of a settlement between the government and the companies. The partial agreement also calls for groups of experts to carry out environmental and social impact studies, and evaluate recovery programs. On 25 June 2018, Vale and BHP Billiton announced they signed a deal with Brazilian authorities that settles a USD 5.3 billion lawsuit related to the 2015 dam collapse. The agreement also sets a two-year timeline to reach a settlement in a separate lawsuit filed in May 2016 which will be put on hold while the parties negotiate. On 2 October 2018, Brazilian prosecutors announced that they reached a final compensation deal with Samarco, Vale and BHP Billiton, which includes compensation payments for relatives of the 19 people killed in the disaster and to those who lost their properties. The amount has not been disclosed. On 20 October 2016, Brazilian federal prosecutors filed homicide charges against 21 people, including top executives of BHP Billiton, Vale and Samarco, for the 19 deaths resulting from the dam collapse. In July 2017, the federal court suspended the criminal case. Samarco's lawyers claim illicit evidence was used to build the case against the company's executives. Proceedings in Australia In May 2018, shareholders filed a lawsuit against BHP Billiton in Australia, alleging that the company misled them as it was aware of the safety risks prior to the disaster, but failed to take any action to prevent it. In August 2018, the company settled a similar lawsuit filed by US shareholders, agreeing to a $67 mln. compensation without admitting liability. In December 2018, an Australian judge allowed the Phi Finney McDonald shareholder class action to proceed, and stayed rival lawsuits from Maurice Blackburn and Johnson Winter & Slattery. Proceedings in the UK In November 2018, more than 240,000 plaintiffs, including Brazilian municipalities and Krenak indigenous communities, filed a lawsuit at the UK High Court in Liverpool against BHP Billiton. The lawsuit seeks $US5 billion in compensation for damages caused by the dam collapse. The full claim was served in May 2019 and the company has four weeks to respond.. It is a domain having .com extension. It is estimated worth of $8.95 and have a daily income of around $0.15. As no active threats were reported recently, sexandtv.com is SAFE to browse.
