WEST BANGKA -- In order to support environmental sustainability in operational areas, PT Timah Tbk continuously manages the environment. One of them is by promoting greening activities.
Apart from carrying out the planting itself, PT Timah Tbk also frequently collaborates with stakeholders and the community to plant trees. This time, members of the MIND ID Mining Industry Holding support the Simultaneous Tree Planting Movement on post-mining land in the framework of the 77th Bhayangkara Day which was carried out simultaneously in Regencies/Cities.
In the Simultaneous Tree Planting Movement in West Bangka Regency, PT Timah Tbk provided assistance to as many as 4000 mangrove seedlings planted on a 5-hectare land.

"The National Police is present in the simultaneous tree planting activities, economic recovery, infrastructure, equitable development, creating food and energy security, investment certainty, creating a safe and peaceful Kamtibmas situation. Polda always provides the best solutions to community problems, as well as post-mining land issues which provide restoration of ecosystems and their functions," he said.
