<h1 style="text-align: justify;">Understanding Obi Island’s Environment: The Sea, Local Communities, and the Future of Indonesia’s Nickel Resources</h1>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The sea is the lifeblood of coastal communities in Obi Island, North Maluku. It serves as a source of livelihood, a nurturing environment for ecosystem growth, and a shared space where community life meets industrial activities. In recent years, the island has emerged as a focal point of attention amid intersecting interests, situated between the rising global demand for nickel to support the energy transition and growing public concern over its environmental impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">As different narratives continue to unfold, it is crucial to examine the state of Obi’s marine environment in its entirety. This article aims to provide a brief summary of the island’s ecological landscape, local communities, and environmental management, guided by routine monitoring, operational data, and the social dynamics observed on the ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Coral Reefs and the “New Homes” on the Seafloor</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Marine restoration has attracted significant focus as one of the key initiatives in environmental conservation. In several parts of Obi Island waters, hollow cube structures known as reef cubes have been deployed on the seafloor to help restore the ecosystem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Independent monitoring has recorded the following developments:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• 109 species of coral reef fish from 22 families have been sighted within the restoration zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Coral growth rates between 0.93 and 6.64 cm over a two-year span.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• The reef cubes have transformed into new habitat for species ranging from juvenile fish to adult groupers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The restoration is not intended to substitute natural processes; it is implemented incrementally with a measured approach to support ecological recovery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Water and Waste Management: Transparency and Control System</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Water and waste management has always been one of the most discussed topics whenever mining activities come under public scrutiny. In Obi, several mechanisms work in parallel to preserve water quality and mitigate sedimentation risks.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">58 Settling Ponds to Mitigate Sedimentation</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Runoff from the operational area is processed through 58 settling ponds to let sediment settle prior to release. This is a critical step to prevent solid particles from entering water bodies.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Real-Time Monitoring through SPARING</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Water quality is monitored automatically through the SPARING system (under the Ministry of Environment and Forestry). Data collected from the monitoring instruments are transmitted directly to the government’s data center, ensuring they can be audited at any time.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Land-based Tailings Management, Zero Ocean Disposal</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel does not implement the Deep-Sea Tailings Placement (DSTP) method. Instead, all tailings are processed through a Dry Stack Tailings Facility (DSTF):</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Utilizes a dewatering-based system</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Incorporates multiple protective layers</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Designed to prevent seepage</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">International-Standard Sustainability Audit</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel undergoes the IRMA (Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance) audit, a global mining standard comprising over 400 indicators. The audit involves independent verification, ensuring standardized practices and transparency in environmental management.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Fishing Communities and the Coastal Economy: Indicators of Ocean Health&nbsp;</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Ocean health extends beyond marine life and ecosystem; it is also reflected in the socioeconomic realities of coastal communities. Coastal fishing activities often serve as an early indicator of aquatic environmental change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Field observations report:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Unchanged fishing patterns; fishermen consistently follow their traditional fishing routes</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Fish catch volumes (including commercially important species such as grouper, rabbitfish, and squid) remain stable</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">• Effective marketing support through the SUTAN program, allowing tens of tons of fishermen’s catch reach the market&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The everyday practices of coastal communities are an integral part of Obi’s ecological balance, affirming the enduring role of the sea as their primary source of livelihood.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Obi Island, Nickel, and the Future of Socio-Environmental System</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Obi Island stands as one of the principal hubs of Indonesia’s nickel downstream industry. Despite its economic momentum, the island faces a significant challenge in balancing the rising global demands to advance the energy transition with the need to preserve the ecosystem and the well-being of coastal communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The data and on-site observations reveal:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>The productivity of Obi Island waters is well-preserved</li>
<li>Coral reef restoration outcomes show a sustained path to recovery</li>
<li>Tailings and water management adheres to international standards</li>
<li>Fishermen continue their everyday routines without any disruption</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">There is always room for improvement. The mining industry, anywhere in the world, requires rigorous supervision. In Obi, the current situation shows that processes of mitigation, monitoring, and recovery are actively underway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, Obi Island is a connected ecosystem where marine life, communities, and industrial activities meet. Only by examining Obi in its complete, interconnected context can we gain a clearer, more balanced perspective on the future of Indonesia’s nickel industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Yjhzub">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</span></h2>

The State of Obi Island Waters and the Harita Nickel’s Environmental Management

<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel has recorded a significant milestone in reducing stunting within its operational area. Through the Soligi Zero Stunting program, 21 out of 25 children in Soligi Village, Obi Island, South Halmahera, have successfully overcome stunting and shown improvement in their nutritional status.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">This achievement, recorded as of mid-2025, confirms the effectiveness of an integrated approach involving the company and relevant stakeholders in efforts to reduce stunting rates in a sustainable manner.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel Community Development Manager Broto Suworso explained that the Soligi Zero Stunting program has been running since 2022, combining nutritional interventions, health education, and strengthening community health services. "This success is the result of teamwork. We believe that children's health is an important foundation for a stronger and more prosperous future," he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Soligi Zero Stunting Program includes the provision of supplementary food (PMT) based on local food sources, training for community health center (Posyandu) workers, the construction of auxiliary health centers (PUSTU), and the provision of communal clean water wells. All activities are carried out in a participatory manner, involving the community as the main agents of change.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The spearhead of this program's implementation is the Soligi Village posyandu cadres, who play a direct role in assisting families and monitoring child growth and development. Murni, one of the posyandu workers and program initiators, explained that posyandu activities are carried out regularly every month through weighing, measuring children, and distributing supplementary food.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“We also proactively visit the homes of toddlers at risk of stunting and provide counseling to mothers so that they pay attention to their children's nutrition and regularly check their pregnancies at the health center," she said.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">"We also proactively visit the homes of toddlers at risk of stunting and provide counseling to mothers to pay attention to their children's nutrition and regularly check their pregnancies at the health center," said Murni. According to her, the most noticeable change is the decrease in the number of children with stunting and malnutrition, from 25 children to now only 4 children. "Our hope is that next year it will be zero, and the children of Soligi will grow up healthier," she emphasized.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In addition to strengthening basic health services, this program also builds community capacity. A total of 13 posyandu workers have been trained in child growth and development monitoring, 354 children have received assistance, and more than 300 supplementary food packages have been distributed to support improvements in family nutrition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For its impact and innovation, the Soligi Zero Stunting program won the 2025 Subroto Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in the category of Most Innovative Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) for Mineral Commodities in the field of Health. This award recognizes Harita Nickel's contribution to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the national policy aimed at accelerating the reduction of stunting.</p>

Harita Nickel Makes History as the First Nickel Company to Win the Green Innovation Award at ACES Awards

<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel, through PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), once again conducted a water pollution control drill to enhance the team's preparedness in responding to environmental emergencies. Through this annual exercise, the company reaffirms its commitment to maintaining water quality and complying with environmental management standards in its operational areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This drill focused on handling conditions when the water resulting from the treatment process showed parameters outside the quality standards. The activities carried out at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) facility involved the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team of PT HJF as the party responsible for managing domestic wastewater. This training was also part of fulfilling the ISO 14001 standard related to preparedness and emergency response systems.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/16112025_HN_PhotoDrillPengendalianPencemaranAirIPALP2HJF_51.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720"></p>
<p dir="ltr">The drill began with a scenario in which water quality test results showed that dissolved oxygen (DO) levels did not meet quality standards. The team then carried out a series of emergency response procedures to restore water quality parameters to normal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Environment Superintendent of HJF, Bobby Loys Lengga, explained the steps taken by the team when the condition was discovered. "We verified our initial findings through testing at the outlet, and the results still showed DO outside the standard. After that, we contacted the wastewater treatment plant operator to immediately install a pump to help the air flow into the water (venturi pump) and repair the blower system," he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After corrective action was taken, the team conducted another test. The results showed that the DO value was back above the quality standard. Giovanni emphasized the importance of periodic exercises like this. "Preventive measures such as this ensure that the water discharged from the WWTP always meets quality standards before flowing into water bodies. In addition to preventing potential negative environmental impacts, this activity also educates the team on the importance of maintaining water quality," he added.</p>

<p dir="ltr">This water pollution control drill is one of three annual environmental drills conducted by the environment team, covering water, air, and hazardous waste management. All of the drills are designed to ensure preparedness and consistency in the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the event of a potential emergency.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through this training, Harita Nickel ensures that environmental monitoring and management in the company's operational areas continue to be conducted in accordance with established standards. This step also demonstrates the company's commitment to implementing responsible mining practices.</p>

Harita Nickel Conducts Water Quality Emergency Drill To Reinforce Pollution Control

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel operates nickel downstream facilities on Obi Island with the support of more than 23,000 workers. These massive operational activities and daily consumption generated high volumes of organic waste. If not managed properly, the waste can cause odors, produce methane gas, and has the potential to contaminate the soil and water around the operational area.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">In response to this challenge, Harita Nickel developed KUSO (Kelola Ulang Sampah Organik or Organic Waste Management), an initiative by PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, aimed at transforming food waste into organic fertilizer as part of the implementation of circular economy principles on Obi Island.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Interestingly, the name ‘KUSO’ not only reflects the process of managing organic waste, but is also inspired by the endemic animal of Obi Island, the Obi cuscus (Phalanger rothschildi), which is known locally as kuso. This nocturnal marsupial symbolizes the harmony and the unique biodiversity of Obi, while also serving as a reminder that every environmental management effort is inherently linked to the preservation of life on the island.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1765872183_ZwLpPm8Yv4.jpeg" width="1080" height="720"></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“Our KUSO program began in March 2024 with the processing of organic waste from the employee canteen. Now, this program is having a real impact, with a total of around 7.4 tonnes of organic waste that have been processed as of November 2025,” explained Imam Agus Faisyal, Junior Environment Compliance Engineer at PT TBP. He added that sorting waste at source is key to the success of composting at the CAKRA Composting House.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The CAKRA Compost House is a facility that processes food waste into compost through an organic process at the Harita Nickel site. The facility itself was chosen in line with the theme of the puppet (wayang) show, where "Cakra" symbolizes protection and balance. This philosophy is translated into a mission to restore the natural cycle by turning food waste into a new and useful resource.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/12122025_HN_KusoProductions_31.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720"></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Upon arrival at the CAKRA Compost House, organic waste is chopped and mixed with wood chips or dry leaves to maintain a balanced carbon-nitrogen ratio. The mixture is then placed in a closed composter and treated with Miko Local Organism (MOL) as a bioactivator. This process is marked by rising temperatures inside the composter, reflecting active microbial decomposition.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“The composting process is carried out aerobically and requires regular turning to maintain oxygen flow and moisture,” said Imam.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">As of November 2025, the CAKRA compost house has collected 7.4 tons of organic waste. Approximately 60% has been turned into around 4.4 tons of solid compost, while the liquid fertilizer produced ranges from 370 to 741 liters. All of these organic products are used for the maintenance of green spaces, nurseries, and reclamation in the company's operating areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">PT TBP’s Senior Environment Compliance Engineer, M. Saifullah Nijar, emphasised that KUSO is the first step towards implementing more extensive organic waste management. “We hope that this program can be replicated independently in other business units, so that its benefits can be even greater,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/12122025_HN_KusoProductions_99.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720"></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">KUSO complements Harita Nickel's other circular economy initiatives, including the use of used bottles as biofilters in Wastewater Treatment Plants, the conversion of plastic waste into alternative fuel, and the use of used cooking oil as a substitute for coal in smelter facilities. This series of efforts underscores the company's commitment to reducing processing waste, strengthening resource efficiency, and maintaining environmental sustainability on Obi Island.</p>

KUSO: Harita Nickel's Solution to Transform Food Waste into Organic Fertiliser

<p dir="ltr">Amid the growing momentum of Indonesia’s nickel downstream industry, Harita Nickel on Obi Island, South Halmahera, demonstrates that industrial progress can go hand in hand with environmental care. For Dr. Tri Edhi Budhi Soesilo, M.Sc., Academician of the School of Environmental Science at Universitas Indonesia—who has visited Harita Nickel’s operations several times—this commitment is not mere rhetoric but a reality observed in the field.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I see harmony between the upstream and downstream sectors, integrated seamlessly. From water to air management, everything is designed comprehensively and interconnected,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">During his visit, Dr. Budhi highlighted four environmental innovations that, in his view, deserve to be models for the mining industry in Indonesia:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>1. DSTF: A Tailings Management Innovation Worth Patenting</strong></h3>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/17062025_HN_Universitas%20Indonesia%20%26%20Telapak%20Site%20Visit_229.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="722"></strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">One of Harita Nickel’s major breakthroughs is the Dry Stack Tailing Facility (DSTF), a technology that manages Nickel Ore Processing Residue (SHP) by reducing its water content until it becomes solid. This method minimizes the risk of water contamination and enables wider reuse of materials for land reclamation.<br><br>“DSTF deserves to be patented. It’s not only technically sound but also demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability,” said Dr. Budhi.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>2. Research-Based Reclamation: Turning Slag into Fertile Planting Media</strong></h3>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/17062025_HN_Universitas%20Indonesia%20%26%20Telapak%20Site%20Visit_47.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720"></strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Harita Nickel has made significant strides in post-mining land rehabilitation. Going beyond administrative requirements, the company’s environmental team conducts experiments to find the most effective planting media composition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Trials involve mixing overburden soil with nickel slag in various ratios to enhance the fertility of reclaimed land.<br><br>“This approach shows a willingness to learn and innovate. It’s not just a formal reclamation effort but an ongoing scientific process,” Dr. Budhi noted.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>3. Protecting Kawasi Springs and Lake Karo: A Rapid Response System for Sustaining Life</strong></h3>
<p><strong><img class="n1ed--selected" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/23122025_Mata%20Air%20Kawasi_2.JPG" alt="" width="1680" height="1259"></strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Water is a central focus in Harita Nickel’s environmental management. Every drop from mining areas undergoes treatment before being discharged back into the environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Monitoring at community water sources such as Kawasi Springs and Lake Karo consistently shows good and well-maintained water quality.<br><br>“I witnessed a very effective quick-response mechanism. Once a potential issue arises, all departments immediately coordinate to ensure the community isn’t affected. This is real accountability,” he emphasized.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>4. 24-Hour Clean Air: Real-Time Emission Monitoring</strong></h3>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/dr-budhi-ui-site-visit.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="721"></p>
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Beyond water and soil, air quality is also strictly monitored. Harita Nickel uses Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) and Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems to reduce emissions from plant operations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All air quality parameters are monitored in real time, 24 hours a day, with an automatic alarm system that activates if thresholds are exceeded.<br><br>“Emission control of this level is rarely seen in industrial operations. It reflects genuine corporate responsibility toward the environment and society,” said Dr. Budhi.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For Dr. Budhi, sustainability is not just about outcomes but about consistency in process. Routine documentation, cross-departmental collaboration, and a readiness to continually improve form the foundation of a responsible industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He concluded with a thoughtful reflection: “Nothing is ever perfect, but what I see here is sincerity. And from sincerity comes sustainable innovation.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The harmony between industrial downstream development and environmental preservation, as reflected in Harita Nickel’s operations on Obi Island, stands as proof that the future of Indonesia’s nickel industry can—and should—be built upon the foundation of ecological responsibility and continuous innovation.</p>

Four Green Innovations by Harita Nickel Set an Example for the National Mining Industry

<p dir="ltr">The long-awaited aspiration of residents of the New Kawasi Village Settlement to obtain legal certainty over land ownership was realized in mid-November 2025, following the issuance of five land certificates earlier in February. On that occasion, the Government of South Halmahera Regency handed over 23 land ownership certificates to residents. The certificates were officially presented by the Head of the Housing and Settlement Areas Agency (Perkim) of South Halmahera, Iqbal Hi Mustafa.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the receipt of these land ownership certificates, residents of the New Kawasi Settlement expressed a greater sense of security, as they now possess clear legal certainty over the land they occupy.</p>

<p dir="ltr">One resident, Vera Baholo, conveyed her gratitude for the housing security they now enjoy. “Praise be to God, today we have received our land certificates. We are truly grateful to be able to live with such good facilities. I hope that residents who are still living in the old settlement will soon be able to move here as well, so they can enjoy the same rights,” she said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A similar sentiment was shared by Heles, who described the certificate as a long-awaited legal foundation since first moving into the new settlement. She expressed hope that more residents would soon experience the same level of legal certainty.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, Saidi Jouronga also shared his happiness. “Alhamdulillah, this certificate is very meaningful. It provides clear legal certainty from the government, ensuring that our land rights are officially recognized and protected. I am truly delighted,” he remarked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Head of the South Halmahera Perkim Agency, Iqbal Hi Mustafa, emphasized that the asset legalization process for residents will continue to be accelerated. “Out of a total of 259 houses, 28 certificates have been completed. The remaining 231 certificates remain our priority. The government is making every effort to ensure that all Kawasi residents have housing that is not only adequate in terms of infrastructure, but also secure from a legal standpoint,” he stated during the certificate handover in November.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The New Kawasi Village Settlement program has demonstrably improved the quality of life for residents. They now benefit from significantly improved basic facilities, including 24-hour electricity and clean water, within an area developed by the Government of South Halmahera Regency with the support of Harita Nickel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel supports the government’s efforts through cross-sector collaboration, ranging from the provision of infrastructure in the New Kawasi Village Settlement to process facilitation, ensuring that residents not only obtain decent housing but also legal certainty over their assets.</p>
