<![CDATA[Belitung Island has a long history in tin production and trading. The abundant tin content has attracted power from time to time to carry out exploitation. Although the victims are reportedly thinning tin, the news about the prediction of Thorium as a valuable mineral for energy production is expected to add to the history of mining in Belitung for thousands of years into the future.

Environmental degradation is getting worse every day and requires comprehensive handling.

Contest analysis is needed to clarify the picture of the extent to which the dynamics of contestation can contribute to promoting sustainable development.]]>
