In every successful operation, there are people who work quietly behind the scenes, ensuring everything runs without a hitch. At Harita Nickel, one of those key figures is Rifaldi “Bang Atta” Duwila, a name that has become familiar to many Insan Harita traveling in and out of Obi Island.
With his unmistakable voice, friendly demeanor, and signature sense of humor, Bang Atta is a regular presence at the ports of Kupal and Babang and at Oesman Sadik Airport in Labuha. Since 2019, he has been a cornerstone of the transport logistics team. First as a driver, and now as Foreman of the Labuha Representative Office (KPL).

“Every day is like solving a puzzle. I monitor everything: ship schedules, flight arrivals, the number of passengers, and available vehicles. If even one piece is missing, it could disrupt the whole system,” Atta shares.

Leading a team of four drivers, Atta is responsible for ensuring safe and timely travel for thousands of employees. But his work doesn’t pause, even on holidays. “One year, I had just finished the Eid prayer when I had to rush to Kupal Port; there were employees who needed urgent transport to the Obi site,” he recalls.

<img alt="17032025 hn safari ramadan kpl 41 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/17032025_HN_Safari Ramadan KPL__41_11zon.jpg"> 
But to Atta, such moments are part of the job, a reflection of duty and devotion. He is quick to share credit with his team. “I can’t do the job alone. The KPL crew is exceptional. They know when to move fast and always act with compassion,” He says.&nbsp;

That spirit of service has made him a well-loved figure among employees. Hamdan Taher from PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) notes that Bang Atta is a constant presence during each leave cycle. “You always see him at the port or airport. Occasionally, he even speaks a bit of Mandarin to help our colleagues from China,” Hamdan says.

Bang Atta is a clear example that every role, no matter how small it may seem, can have a big impact on keeping the company running. In the midst of the nickel downstreaming industry in North Maluku, Bang Atta acts as a conduit between the diligent efforts of Harita Nickel employees and their yearning for their homeland. That is where the true meaning of dedication lies.

No Days Off: Bang Atta and the Heart of Harita’s Transport Team

On 27 March 2025, a loud siren echoed across the Nirwana office area on Obi Island. Within seconds, dozens of Harita Nickel employees rushed out of the building and quickly moved to the assembly point. It wasn’t a real emergency. It was an earthquake drill organized by the Emergency Response Team (ERT) from PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) and PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS).
<img alt="28032025 hn b drill gempa bumi ohs tbp 27 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/28032025_HN_B_Drill Gempa Bumi OHS_TBP_27_11zon.jpg"> 
This drill is part of Harita Nickel’s regular efforts to train employees to respond to disasters. Notably, Harita Nickel’s Director of Operations, Younsel Evand Roos, joined the drill and played the role of an employee needing medical attention. His participation underscored the message that safety is a shared responsibility across all levels of the company.

A week later, on April 4, 2025, another emergency simulation took place at Panji Selatan Port. This time, the scenario involved a fuel spill caused by a leaking pipe at the fuel station. The ERT team responded quickly, using fire extinguishers and hydrants to control the situation. During the simulation, one responder pretended to suffer burns and was promptly treated with first aid equipment.

These drills are more than just routine exercises. For Harita Nickel, they’re a key part of responsible mining practices and ensuring everyone understands how to react if a real emergency happens.

Ngainur Rofiek, Head of Mining Engineering at GPS, highlighted the importance of these drills in developing practical skills. “Using safety equipment, performing evacuations, and giving first aid must be practiced regularly. These are essential for safety in the mining environment,” said Rofiek.

He also emphasized the value of teamwork. “Strong teamwork as one of our core values is critical in any emergency situation,” he added.

Muhammad Randy, one of the drill coordinators, noted that the scenarios mirror risk matrices required for the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) audit. “This is part of our continuous improvement to meet responsible mining standards,” he said.

These drills clearly show Harita Nickel’s commitment to prioritizing safety, building a culture of readiness, and upholding sustainable and responsible mining principles.

Earthquake and Fire Drills Sharpen Harita Nickel’s Emergency Readiness

<hr>
At its core, mining is a paradox: humanity digs deep into the Earth to build the future, yet is often seen as damaging the very systems that sustain life.
In contrast, rivers flow gently and persistently&mdash;shaping valleys, sustaining ecosystems, offering life without taking. Where miners drill, rivers heal; where industry extracts, rivers remind us of sustainability
Philosophically, the relationship between mining and rivers often reflects the tension between anthropocentrism&mdash;the belief that nature exists for human use&mdash;and ecocentrism, which sees nature as having intrinsic value beyond its utility to humanity.
 
Mining embodies humanity’s Promethean impulse: to control, to reshape, and to extract. Rivers, on the other hand, symbolize a different kind of wisdom&mdash;the wisdom of adaptation, flow, and reciprocity.
 
When we mine thoughtlessly, we risk severing the ancient bond between humans and nature, reducing the Earth to a mere resource rather than a relationship. “Nature is not just raw material&mdash;it’s a structured, meaningful system,” said Aristotle (384 BC–322 BC).

The real question is: Can we mine ethically? Can we extract without disrupting the flow?
A sustainable future does not lie in halting extraction altogether, but in reshaping the conditions under which it occurs&mdash;with humility, restraint, and respect for systems older and wiser than ourselves. For Heraclitus (535 BC – 475 BC), the ancient Greek philosopher, wisdom lies in understanding the natural flow&mdash;not in attempting to dominate it.
A 4,000-kilometer journey from Bandung was undertaken by a research team from the Water and Wastewater Engineering Research Group, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung, to Obi Island, home to Harita Nickel’s mining site.
To us, Obi Island in North Maluku is not just a point on the Indonesian map. It is a living space&mdash;a beautiful landscape embracing tropical forests, the clear flow of the Akelamo River, and a mineral-rich earth harboring nickel&mdash;a metal now at the heart of the global energy revolution.
We followed its course&mdash;from Lake Karo to where it meets the Maluku Sea. The Akelamo River flows with a spirited energy, its current swift and relentless, meandering across the land like a taut silver thread stretched over the earth.
 
Though not deep&mdash;its clear, rippling surface reveals ancient Pre-Tertiary to Quaternary rocks and minerals, as well as quick darting fish beneath&mdash;it stretches wide with generosity, embracing the riverbanks with open arms. It carries a voice: a soft, rushing whisper that echoes through the trees.
 
On both sides, the landscape unfolds in quiet majesty: tall grasses and trees sway rhythmically in the wind, while hills rise gently in the distance, standing like sentinels over the flowing stream.
Birds glided along the water’s edge, their wings catching the glint of sunlight, while small creatures danced across the surface as if carried by the river’s breath.
 
The air was fresh, tinged with the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. This was not a deep or hidden river&mdash;it was a river that is present, moving, and beautiful. It does not boast; what it offers&mdash;moments of peace, scenes worth remembering, and a quiet reminder that even the gentlest water can shape a landscape with grace.
 
Though mining lies not far from its source, though trucks rumble along nearby roads and the land bears signs of human ambition, the river refuses to lose its soul.
 
It still sings. It still reflects the sky, cradles fish beneath its surface, and draws Ornithoptera aesacus butterflies to its banks. As if nature is offering us a second chance&mdash;a moment to pause and ask: What kind of future do we wish to shape here?
 
Perhaps the most remarkable thing is this: the river is still beautiful.
Because not all mining must end in destruction. There are those who have begun to listen&mdash;to the river, to communities, and to the Earth. They speak of Good Mining Practices: of reclamation and revegetation, of controlled runoff and waste management, of community engagement.
 
They design operations that respect buffer zones, monitor and manage water quality, and work not against the landscape, but with it. It is not perfect&mdash;but it is possible. And it is necessary.
 
The Promethean drive is not without criticism or ethical concerns. The growing spectrum of anthropogenic existential threats to human civilization and survival has prompted calls for a new framework of existential security&mdash;one that prioritizes the continuity of humanity (Sears, 2020).
 
Moreover, more than 1,700 scientists have warned of the potential consequences of unchecked environmental destruction, underscoring the urgent need for responsible stewardship of the Earth (Ripple et al., 2017).

Responsible mining practices are essential for preserving river ecosystems. With careful planning and the implementation of sustainable techniques, a balance between mining operations and healthy river systems can be achieved&mdash;one that benefits both industry and the environment.
 
Sustainability, therefore, is not the absence of change&mdash;but the presence of wisdom. It means choosing methods that minimize harm, restore what has been taken or damaged, and ensure that future generations, too, can sit by this river, hear its shimmering murmur, and feel gratitude&mdash;not sorrow.
 
The future of humanity does not have to stand in opposition to nature&mdash;it can be an extension of it. Our cities can be powered by clean energy built from responsibly mined materials. Our children can inherit both innovation and untouched forests, along with future forests growing on lands once mined.

A river can still run strong and clean&mdash;if we remember that progress without respect is merely another form of destruction. Stoic thinkers and philosophers like Zeno, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius believed in living in harmony with nature and accepting one’s place in the cosmos&mdash;a unified, rational, and living order governed by logos, the divine intelligence that structures the universe.
 
And the Akelamo River keeps flowing&mdash;wide, swift, shallow, clear, and beautiful&mdash;asking nothing from us except: To learn. To change. To care. To build a future where mining and rivers, machines and mountains, humanity and nature, can exist not in conflict&mdash;but in warm conversation, perhaps over a cup of Ternate’s spiced coffee.
 
A future where the river still sings the song of life, not of loss. And from the Akelamo River, on Obi Island, we have learned that&mdash;bringing it home to the city of Bandung, as a story, and as knowledge drawn from the wisdom of the Creator’s natural design.

Akelamo River: Where Human-Nature Harmony Inspires Responsible Mining

Harita Nickel, through PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, has successfully implemented a Watershed Rehabilitation (Rehabilitasi Daerah Aliran Sungai or Rehab DAS) program covering 1,765 hectares (ha) at Tigalalu protected forest area in Kayoa Island and Laluin Island, South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province. Mufti Sodik, Forestry Permitting & Compliance Manager of Harita Nickel, said watershed rehabilitation is part of the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible mining practices.&nbsp;
As a Forest Area Use Approval Permit (IPPKH) holder, Harita Nickel has an obligation to rehabilitate watersheds in critical land cover forest areas. Planting activities are carried out by involving the surrounding community, while monitoring and evaluation are carried out by relevant agencies. Based on the assessment of the success rate of planting carried out in three stages, Harita Nickel was declared successful and has handed over the results of watershed rehabilitation planting to the government.

The rehabilitation approach integrates both ecological and social aspects. In addition to planting seven species of native plants, such as nutmeg, cloves, walnut, and cashew, the program actively involves local communities. These plant species were selected not only for their ability to restore ecosystems but also for their economic potential for surrounding communities.

<img alt="Rehab das kayoa lauin harita nickel 107 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Rehab DAS Kayoa Lauin-Harita Nickel_107_11zon.jpg" title="Rehab das kayoa lauin harita nickel 107 11zon">
<figcaption>The selected plants are not only intended to restore the ecosystem but also have economic potential for the surrounding communities &mdash; nutmeg is one example.</figcaption>

“These plants not only represent the rich biodiversity of the Maluku Islands but also carry real economic value. Nutmeg and cloves, for instance, have been part of the spice economy in the archipelago for hundreds of years,” said Mufti Sodik, Forestry Permitting & Compliance Manager at Harita Nickel.

Until its completion at the end of 2024, the program has received praise from various stakeholders, including government officials and local leaders. More than just benefiting from the outcomes, the community has been involved from the very beginning. “Community members are engaged in everything, from planting to maintenance,” Mufti added.

Nurbaity Radjiloen, Head of the South Halmahera Forest Management Unit, expressed her appreciation. “As local authorities, we are truly grateful to see the positive results of this watershed rehabilitation program. Hopefully, it can be replicated in other areas across South Halmahera,” Nurbaity explained.&nbsp;

Echoing that sentiment, Sukur Lila, Head of the North Maluku Forestry Department, emphasized that the program addresses both environmental and community economic concerns.

“Harita Nickel has demonstrated goodwill through the Watershed Rehabilitation program, which aims to protect the environment, especially forests in North Maluku, while also generating economic benefits for local communities,” said Sukur.

<figcaption>One of the watershed rehabilitation program sites implemented by Harita Nickel is located in Kayoa and North Kayoa, South Halmahera Regency.</figcaption>

One of the program’s key strengths is the involvement of local residents. Rum Saleh, a community leader from Guruapin Village, expressed pride in the program, which he sees as a tangible opportunity for locals.&nbsp;

“This program is expected to bring economic benefits to our people. The community’s direct participation in planting and other activities makes us feel involved and valued,” Rum explained.&nbsp;

A watershed is more than just a waterway, it’s a vital part of the ecosystem. Without healthy vegetation, watersheds become vulnerable to floods, landslides, and soil degradation. This is what drove Harita Nickel to restore protected forests through an ecologically based watershed rehabilitation program.

This initiative is not just a formality, but a genuine expression of care for both the environment and local communities. “This rehabilitation effort not only improves natural conditions, but also reflects the company’s long-term commitment to conservation,” said Afian Eko Purnomo from the Ake Malamo Watershed Management Office.

With this program, Harita Nickel reaffirms its long-term commitment to environmental sustainability and meaningful community involvement. “This watershed rehabilitation is an important step to support the water cycle, reduce erosion, and ultimately bring economic benefits to surrounding communities,” Mufti Sodik concluded.

Harita Nickel Rehabilitates 1,765 Hectares of Protected Forest in North Maluku

Harita Nickel's commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices has earned appreciation from various parties. The Coordinator of the Mining Advocacy Consortium (KATAM) for North Maluku, Muhlis Ibrahim, stated that the presence of the integrated nickel mining and downstream processing company operating on Obi Island has made a positive contribution to the region’s economic growth.
This statement was made after his visit to the Harita Nickel site in Kawasi Village, Obi District, South Halmahera Regency, from April 19 to 21, 2025.

“I see a lot of changes compared to my last visit in 2022. Most notably, infrastructure development. This has significantly narrowed the infrastructure gap between villages and shortened the long economic chain,” said the mining practitioner.

During his second visit, one of the things that caught his attention was Harita Nickel’s Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) through the Community Entrepreneurship Unit (UNIKK). It was recorded that the turnover from seven Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)&mdash;consisting of 42 local residents from two villages surrounding the company's operations&mdash;reached IDR 5 billion per year. These business units, primarily managed by housewives, operate in the culinary sector, ranging from supplying snacks to processing derivative products from nutmeg and soybeans, to managing cafés and mini-markets within the company’s area.

<figcaption>KATAM Chairman, Muhlis Ibrahim, visiting Nyala Cafe, one of Harita Nickel’s community partner businesses, run by housewives from villages surrounding its operations on Obi Island.</figcaption>

“The company not only equips residents with knowledge but also provides access to markets. Now, it's up to the community whether they want to seize this opportunity or not. Clearly, those who joined the company’s supported groups have already felt the benefits,” he explained.

During his visit, Muhlis also visited the new Kawasi Village settlement firsthand. He expressed his support for the resettlement of residents, as the old village, surrounded by the company's operational activities, was no longer safe for residents’ health and well-being. According to him, the South Halmahera Regency Government’s program, fully supported by Harita Nickel, to provide better housing with more complete facilities, is the right policy.

“Let’s not allow the community to become victims, used as a tool for conflict. As long as the old settlement remains, it will continue to be exploited to attack the company, with narratives portraying poverty and slum conditions in the midst of a thriving industrial area,” he emphasized, dismissing accusations that he said were not aligned with facts on the ground.

To those who remain skeptical of Harita Nickel, Muhlis encouraged them to visit and see firsthand the progress and initiatives carried out by the company. According to him, Harita Nickel is very open to receiving input.

Muhlis invites parties who are still skeptical towards Harita Nickel's commitment to stay in touch and establish good communication with the company. On the other hand, he also asked the company to open space for the community to convey input.

“For me, it is important that the company is more transparent regarding environmental management patterns, because this is a very sexy issue. The most dominant issue in every mining activity is environmental issues. So it's just a matter of how to be more open to explain to the public,” said the mining lecturer.

<figcaption>Muhlis Ibrahim refers to the Tuguraci 2 area, covering 43 hectares within Harita Nickel’s operational area, as the most complete and largest mine runoff water management facility in North Maluku.</figcaption>

In addition to social aspects, Muhlis said Harita Nickel's commitment to environmental sustainability is in accordance with its practices in the field. He gave an example of the company's efforts in managing mine runoff water by preparing as many as 52 settling ponds. One of them is Tuguraci 2, the largest pond with an area of 43 hectares. These ponds are monitored regularly to ensure the water has met quality standards before being released to environmental bodies.&nbsp;

“Harita Nickel is a key asset for North Maluku. Let’s support them by continuously monitoring their commitment so that investment activities can proceed smoothly,” he said.

Concluding his visit, Muhlis expressed his appreciation for Harita Nickel’s consistent application of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across its operations. He also hoped that Harita Nickel would set an example for other companies investing in North Maluku.

KATAM Urges Obi Residents to Support Harita Nickel as North Maluku’s Key Asset

As part of its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its mining and nickel processing operations, Harita Nickel has built two coal storage domes on Obi Island, North Maluku.
Each dome measures 600 meters in length and 140 meters in width, with a storage capacity of up to 370,000 tons of coal.

“These coal domes prevent coal dust from spreading into the environment. The dust stays inside the dome,” said Tonny Gultom, Director of Health & Safety Environment at Harita Nickel. He illustrated the massive size by comparing it to five football fields combined, all under one roof.

The domes are specially designed to be completely enclosed and are filled with inert gas to lower oxygen levels inside. This reduces the risk of fire and helps maintain coal quality. Beyond protecting the coal from weather exposure, the design also effectively prevents dust from escaping into the surrounding environment.

<img alt="Coal dome 1" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/coal dome 1.jpg" title="Coal dome 1">
<figcaption>2 units of coal domes to store coal used as electricity generation fuel in Harita Nickel </figcaption>
 Another key measure is the use of covered conveyor belts to transport coal from the dock to the storage domes at one of its business units, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF). This system replaces trucks and heavy equipment, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
“In fact, the use of conveyors has helped cut coal consumption in the smelter by 6.4%, which is equivalent to avoiding 271 tons of CO2e emissions,” he added. “We also use covered conveyor belts to deliver coal from the domes to the power plant,” he said.

While various innovations have been implemented, Harita Nickel remains committed to further minimizing its environmental footprint.

“Harita Nickel stands by its principles: good, responsible, and sustainable mining operations,” Tonny concluded.

Harita Nickel Builds Giant Coal Domes to Keep the Air Clean

Amid the relentless pace of nickel mining and processing on Obi Island, there is one moment that the employees of PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) eagerly anticipate: mealtime at the company canteen. More than just a place to refuel, the canteen is a refuge. It’s a space where exhaustion dissolves into camaraderie, and each plate served carries a touch of warmth amid the daily grind.
By dawn, the MSP canteen is already stirring to life. Workers shuffle in, some rubbing the last traces of sleep from their eyes, others pausing to exchange a few words with colleagues before the day’s labor begins. The air is thick with the scent of steaming rice and freshly cooked dishes, an unspoken invitation to grab a tray and select a favorite meal.

For many, meals are simply a daily necessity. However, at MSP, dining is more than just food, it is a vital moment for rejuvenation, providing employees with the energy and comfort needed to maintain productivity and well-being throughout the demanding workday.

“The menu changes almost every day. Grilled fish, chicken satay, crispy calamari. And on certain days, you’ll even find French fries and pizza. It’s not just good food,it feels like eating at home,” says Sarifuddin Usman, an MSP employee.&nbsp;

It is this familiar, home-cooked quality that elevates the MSP canteen beyond its function as a workplace dining hall. For the employees, it is a reminder of the warmth of a family meal, a place where a simple dish can stir memories of home.

<img alt="20012025 hn profiling chef yuli 08" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/20012025_HN_Profiling Chef Yuli_08.jpg"> 
Behind every meal is a dedicated kitchen team led by Yuli Andrianto, Harita Nickel’s Chief Chef. His role has evolved from hands-on cooking to overseeing the kitchen operations.

“My priority now is ensuring that every dish meets health and hygiene standards, optimizing costs, and keeping the team running efficiently,” says Chef Yuli with quiet determination.

Like a conductor guiding an orchestra, he supervises his team, coordinates schedules, and ensures that every meal meets the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. The menu remains firmly rooted in Indonesian culinary traditions, designed to cater to the diverse palates of MSP employees.&nbsp;

His responsibilities extend beyond the kitchen. He also oversees budgeting, ensuring operations remain efficient, and mentors his staff in food safety and preparation, practices he excelled during his years in five-star hotel kitchens.

“More than just feeding people, I want every meal here to feel like coming home. Indonesian food isn’t just about taste. It’s about memory, about home, about the warmth of family that we all long for,”&nbsp; he says, glancing across the bustling kitchen.

The MSP canteen is more than a place to eat. It is a space of connection. Here, the fatigue of a long shift gives way to easy conversation, shared laughter, and often, the spontaneous exchange of ideas that fuel the company’s operations. Across its tables, it is not just meals that are served, but a spirit of collaboration that continues to thrive.

MSP Canteen: A Taste of Home, A Bowl of Warmth

As a key supplier to the EV battery chain, Harita Nickel ties growth to carbon‑smart operations. At its PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) HPAL plant on Obi Island, a waste‑heat recovery (WHR) system now converts exhaust heat into electricity, saving energy equivalent to 9 million litres of gasoline annually and avoiding 307,988 t CO₂e.
&nbsp;Circular thinking extends to the cafeteria. Harita Nickel has also taken a novel approach to waste by repurposing used cooking oil&mdash;generated from meal services for its 20,000 employees&mdash;into an alternative fuel for smelter operations. The reused oil replaces approximately 21% of thermal coal calories each day, reducing daily coal consumption by up to 10 metric tons. Director of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Tonny Gultom says the pilot program could be expanded if proven to be technically viable over the long term.

<figcaption>Megah Surya Pertiwi used Cooking Oil as a Coal Fuel Substitution in its dry kiln ore smelter </figcaption>

&nbsp;In the Obi Industrial Estate, Harita Nickel has installed solar panels for street lighting, generating 98 gigajoules of energy and cutting emissions by 42.83 tons of CO2e. Since 2023, biodiesel has also been used for transportation and power generation, yielding 908,220 gigajoules of energy and avoiding up to 45,011 tons of CO2e emissions.
Tonny emphasized that sustainability is the foundation of the company’s operations. “Responsible mining must deliver long-term benefits, not just economically, but also socially and environmentally,” said Tonny.&nbsp;
 
Harita Nickel’s commitment to responsible practice is also reflected with a net-zero emissions target by 2060, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications under its belt, and other future energy efficiency projects. With these, Harita Nickel proves its strategic role as a pioneer of sustainable mining in Indonesia.

Harita Nickel Reinforces Commitment to Sustainable Practices through Energy Transition

The year 2025 marked a significant milestone for Yadi, as he was entrusted with leading the organizing committee for the 2025 National Occupational Health&nbsp;and Safety (OHS) Month. For Yadi, this assignment brought a new and demanding set of experiences. He was tasked with coordinating a team composed of individuals from diverse backgrounds and business units&mdash;a formidable challenge, particularly since many of them had never previously worked together.
 
One of the primary hurdles was communication. For the first time, National OHS Month was being celebrated simultaneously across all business units under the Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources partnership.
 
“In the beginning, coordination was quite challenging, as we weren’t yet used to functioning as a single, unified team. However, over time, we developed an effective rhythm of communication, and we are now able to collaborate more cohesively,” he shared.
Behind the coordination challenges, Yadi recalls one particularly memorable moment during a community engagement program in Soligi Village. The activity served as a real-world demonstration of team cohesion on the ground. “During that program, we witnessed each team member’s initiative emerge naturally. The collaboration grew stronger because everyone was driven by a shared purpose,” he reflected.
 
Community enthusiasm was equally remarkable. More than 100 elderly residents participated in free health check-ups, and the villagers warmly welcomed every initiative implemented. From fire extinguisher (APAR) training and the Gemilang Nutrisi program on healthy eating habits, to dental health education for elementary students&mdash;all activities ran smoothly thanks to strong coordination between the organizing committee and the local community.
 
The culmination of the 2025 National OSH Month featured a Safety Talk with Prof. Dra. Fatma Lestari, M.Si., Ph.D., Director of the Disaster Risk Reduction Center (DRRC) at the University of Indonesia and Vice Chair of the National Occupational Safety and Health Council (DK3N). For Yadi, the discussion&mdash;centered around "Disaster Management in the Obi Island Nickel Industry"&mdash;offered valuable insights to Harita personnel on the critical importance of cultivating a safety-first culture.
 
“This event is more than a celebration&mdash;it’s a concerted effort to build a supportive and safety-oriented work culture,” he said. For him, it was a meaningful opportunity to strengthen synergy and embed a safety mindset throughout Harita Nickel’s operations.

Haryadi Ilyas: Advancing Safety, Protecting Lives

Harita Nickel is stepping up its commitment to environmental stewardship, implementing a comprehensive biodiversity monitoring programme across its reclamation and revegetation sites, as well as several operational zones on Obi Island, an area recognised for its rich ecological value.
According to Muharwan Syahroni, Deputy Head of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at Harita Nickel, the company conducts routine ecological surveys annually over a three-week period. The process, managed by independent third-party experts, focuses on tracking flora and fauna populations before, during, and after mining operations, including the reclamation phases.

“We conduct monitoring through independent partners to ensure objectivity. The aim is to assess the presence and condition of flora and fauna before mining begins, and to observe the recovery process following revegetation,” Syahroni explained.

Encouragingly, recent monitoring has shown signs of ecological recovery. Several native plant species have successfully re-established themselves in reclaimed areas, while sightings of local wildlife, particularly bird and reptile species, have also increased.

Notably, the populations of mammals, birds, herpetofauna, and insects are showing signs of stability. This includes species endemic to the Maluku Islands, such as the Green Flying Fox (Dobsonia viridis) and the Halmahera Cuckooshrike (Lalage aurea), both considered ecological treasures of the region.

In the insect category, researchers have identified 28 species of dragonflies from 8 families and 46 species of butterflies across 4 families. Their sustained presence is widely regarded as a strong bioindicator of environmental health and ecological integrity.

“In recent times, we’ve seen stable trends among several native species, including key endemics. Their continued presence signals that the ecological balance is being preserved,” said Syahroni.

Among the more visually striking species observed is the Black Sunbird (Cinnyris frenatus), a nectar-feeding bird commonly found among flowering trees in the revegetated zones. Its return indicates that a functioning ecosystem is gradually re-establishing itself.

Beyond the technical aspects of reclamation, Harita Nickel has also launched a company-wide environmental awareness campaign. The initiative emphasises a firm prohibition on wildlife hunting and disturbance, aimed at protecting vulnerable species and fostering long-term ecological resilience.

“We emphasise the importance of preserving the island’s biodiversity. Education around anti-poaching and environmental protection is a key part of our operations across all business units,” Syahroni added.

By integrating rigorous monitoring with on-the-ground education and habitat restoration, Harita Nickel is aiming to position itself not just as a leader in responsible nickel production, but also as a long-term steward of Obi’s ecological legacy.
