“…Fast-growing species were chosen as one of the requirements for the restoration plant species to form the forest structure quickly. Growth in height and stem diameter at the age of four years of V. pinnata reached 5 m and 7.22 cm, respectively [28]. In addition, proboscis monkeys also have a high preference for using their young leaves as a source of food.…”

“…These species need to be selected to be used for habitat restoration. The selection of adaptive species to various soil and environmental conditions will increase the success of rehabilitating the habitat [28]. In addition, the selected plants are proboscis monkey's feed sources, grow fast, and have known propagation and planting techniques.…”

“…This pioneer species can grow well at 400-1 000 m in dry regions in lowland forest habitats, riverbanks, and secondary forests [29]. This species is fast-growing and can survive in open land, so it is recommended to rehabilitate ex-coal mines [28]. Fast-growing species were chosen as one of the requirements for the restoration plant species to form the forest structure quickly.…”

Most of the Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) habitat is outside the protected area, so the potential for destruction is high. One of the efforts to improve its habitat is habitat restoration. This study aims to determine plant species for proboscis monkey habitat restoration based on reference habitats. The research was conducted at eight locations in East Kalimantan, Indonesia i.e. Kuala Samboja, Mahakam Delta, Suwi River, Ohong River, Berau Delta (mangrove and riverine), Sungai Wain, and Kutai National Park. Vegetation analysis with line-plot sampling method with a total sample of all locations of 11.7 ha. The results showed that the habitat included three main types: mangrove, riverine, and riverine-near coastal. A total of 152 tree species, 41 of which were potential proboscis monkey feed. The highest plant species diversity value was in the riverine forest-Berau Delta of 1.25, while the lowest was in the mangrove forest-Berau Delta of 0.54. Species that are a food source and have good adaptation in riverine habitat are Vitex pinnata, Dillenia excelsa, Garcinia spp, Heritiera littoralis, Ilex cymosa, Cerbera manghas, Hevea braziliensis, and Sonneratia caseolaris. Whereas in mangrove habitat are Avicennia alba, A. officinalis, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. parvifolia, Rhizophora apiculata, and S. alba. They are recommended for habitat restoration.

“…Re-planting was performed to replace the mortal seedlings within one to two months after planting [175]. Weeding was conducted once every four months up to 1 year after planting and then once every six months in the second and the third year after planting [143,184]. Weeding was conducted to release the plants from the growing competition with the weeds.…”

Tropical forests are among the most diverse ecosystems in the world, completed by huge biodiversity. An expansion in natural resource extraction through open-pit mining activities leads to increasing land and tropical forest degradation. Proper science-based practices are needed as an effort to reclaim their function. This paper summarizes the existing practice of coal mining, covering the regulatory aspects and their reclamation obligations, the practices of coal mining from various sites with different land characteristics, and the reclamation efforts of the post-mining landscapes in Indonesia. The regulations issued accommodate the difference between mining land inside the forest area and outside the forest area, especially in the aspect of the permit authority and in evaluating the success rate of reclamation. In coal-mining practices, this paper describes starting from land clearing activities and followed by storing soil layers and overburden materials. In this step, proper handling of potentially acid-forming materials is crucial to prevent acid mine drainage. At the reclamation stage, this paper sequentially presents research results and the field applications in rearranging the overburden and soil materials, controlling acid mine drainage and erosion, and managing the drainage system, settling ponds, and pit lakes. Many efforts to reclaim post-coal-mining lands and their success rate have been reported and highlighted. Several success stories describe that post-coal-mining lands can be returned to forests that provide ecosystem services and goods. A set of science-based best management practices for post-coal-mine reforestation is needed to develop to promote the success of forest reclamation and restoration in post-coal-mining lands through the planting of high-value hardwood trees, increasing trees’ survival rates and growth, and accelerating the establishment of forest habitat through the application of proper tree planting technique. The monitoring and evaluation aspect is also crucial, as corrective action may be taken considering the different success rates for different site characteristics.

“…One of the factors in assessing the success of reclamation and revegetation is the planting of local plants. Several studies have been carried out and have recommended several local tree species that can adapt to coal mine reclamation land [2] [3]. Based on this information, PT Bara Tabang, in collaboration with BPSILHK Samboja, conducted a post-mining land revegetation trial using several local tree species by establishing a demonstration plot.…”

Revegetation of post-mining land with local species has been carried out by coal mining companies in East Kalimantan. However, the information about plant species that can adapt to post-mining land environments is still limited. Therefore, PT Bara Tabang, as a coal mining company, has established a demonstration plot for planting local species in post-coal mining areas. The purpose is to add information on local species that can adapt to the post-mining environment. There were 7 species planted, that is Vitex pinnata, Syzygium polyanthum, Schima wallichii, Shorea balangeran, Melaleuca cajuputi, Syzygium sp., and Hopea mengarawan. 100 plants were planted for each species with the addition of 1 kg of compost for each plant. Observations for six months showed that the survival rate of local species was still above 90%, except for H. mengerawan that only 13%. The species of plants that showed the best growth in height and diameter at 6 months of age were M. leucadendron with 8.08 cm and 0.16 cm respectively. Sc. wallichii showed the lowest growth in height and diameter of 1.60 cm and 0.05 cm respectively at 6 months of age.
