After one generation of the declining ecological services of >the resource-rich ecosystems, concomittant to the continuing onslaughts on >the peoples� life-space, we realize that without an adequate precautionary >protective and preventative policy framework, the all-fragile island and >marine ecosystems and the majority of the population dependent upon them are >not going to be able to withstand another round of the resource-based >industrial expansion in the region. Already we have seen the tragic social >conflicts not totally unrelated to the past resource-grab regime. The urgent >social policy agenda for the coming decades is how to nurture both a sturdy >social base for an effective, decentralized and community based >environmental management, and well defined, historically-rooted defensible >life spaces for the people. The latter should be the basis for the region�s >sustainable economic and social development. > >We are taking direct and active roles in the immediate realization of such a >reform agenda through the various institutional and policy initiatives as >well as the direct, community based initiatives throughout the archipelago. >The extreme complexity in dealing with the diversity of the region-specific >social-economic-ecological matrix notwithstanding, the surmounting challenge >for us in pursuing the strategic agenda comes from the interplay of the >international and mondial interests in tandem with their domestic >counterparts in the region�s mammoth wealth and market size. In responding >to such a tall order, we acknowledge and welcome the long-standing >solidarity and supports of the international community from both the state >and non-state sectors in making it more bearable for us to pursue the >strategic agenda. > >In this light, we are very deeply concerned with the case of the JATAM--the >Mining Advocacy Network, of which it is not only dismissed of its legitimate >right to protect the life-space of the communities in the mining areas, but >also is treated as wrongly attacking or damaging the business of PT Newmont >Minahasa Raya, a subsidiary of Newmont Corp., a US based, tax-paying >company, without a due process of verification and investigation into the >case. Committed to building an ecologically and socially appropriate >industrial policy framework for the region, of which mining is currently one >of the most harmful to the environment and the local peoples in the mining >areas, the Mining Advocacy Network has called for a moratorium for the >mining sector until an umbrella Act for natural resources utilisation and >management and a mining sector policy framework for the whole industry to >comply with are formulated and stipulated. We realize that this is a highly >sensitive policy issue for there have always been the presence of foreign >mining companies in the region. For balance, however, it is also sensitive >because such a moratorium will also hit the ubiquitous, small-scale people >mining practices. > >We consider the JATAM�s strong stance a necessary step to call for a policy >change at the highest level to replace the current Working Contract and >Mining Concession Schemes, which are environmentally lousy and socially >irresponsible. In the long run, the presence of such an alternative policy >will also protect the interests of the wider international actors. >Intimidating intervention towards the Mining Advocacy Network at the mission >level as displayed by the US Embassy in Indonesia is the last thing we >expected in the perspectives of the long-standing friendships between the >democratic American society and its Indonesian counterparts. > >We therefore urge a broader, multi-stakeholder inquiry into the practices of >the US mining companies in the country. It is ironical that whereas in the >USA the mining companies are now mandated to file a report to the community >of their mining operations, a similar initiative in Indonesia at developing >the same compliance mechanism for the mining companies is subject to such a >harsh and inappropriate response.
