The image above shows the devastating impact of tin mining waste on Belitung's precious coral reefs. These once vibrant ecosystems, essential for marine life, are now smothered and dying.

Belitung Island, nestled in the heart of Indonesia, is a marine paradise facing silent yet severe threats. Unlike the well-publicized struggles of the Great Barrier Reef or Chesapeake Bay, Belitung's plight remains underrepresented in global conservation efforts. This island, rich in biodiversity, is home to vibrant coral reefs and marine life that are now at risk from tin mining.

The comparison is stark. The Great Barrier Reef, with its extensive government-funded restoration projects, or the Chesapeake Bay's rigorous pollution control measures, have received global attention and resources. Meanwhile, Belitung grapples with sedimentation from mining thats covering coral reefs in the seabed, and the dire impacts of climate change largely on its own.

The Situation is Critical.

People are migrating out of the Belitung bc there is no: land to farm, cant fish no fish due to no coral, river contaminated from mining, miners (not much area avail anymore). Threatened of community livelihood.

Land-based tin mines have already ravaged Belitung land, leaving behind a lunar wasteland. Now, the miners turn their hungry dredges towards the very heart of the island's lifeblood – the coral reefs. This insatiable search for tin suffocates these vibrant ecosystems with sediment, a slow, silent killer.

The consequences are dire. Lush coral gardens, once teeming with marine life, are fading to ghostly white graveyards. This destruction isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's a death sentence.

The impact goes beyond aesthetics. Local fishermen, who relied on the bounty of the reefs, now face dwindling catches. The vibrant tapestry of marine life that sustained them is being ripped apart, jeopardizing their way of life and the island's food security.
