“Save Belitong” is a cause to gather support from people all
over the world to SAVE THE SEA OF BELITONG FROM SEA MINING.
Belitong Island or Billiton is an Island in Indonesia blessed
with heavenly beautiful white sandy beaches, and hundreds of granite boulders
decorating the crystal clear sea water. Home for magnificent coral reefs and diverse
sea biota, the sea around Billiton has nourished the people in the island. The
harmony of this nature is threatened by the sea mining activity that currently
under planning. The aim of this cause is to make the voice against sea mining
in Belitong majority so that the government has no reason not to stop this
mining plan from going on.
Belitung atau Billiton adalah sebuah pulau di bagian barat
Indonesia yang dianugerahi keindahan alam berupa pantai-pantai berpasir putih
berhiaskan batu-batu granit raksasa. Perairan laut Belitung menjadi surga bagi
keanekaragaman hayati seperti ikan, terumbu karang dan biota laut lainnya, yang
telah menjadi sumber penghidupan bagi masyarakatnya. Namun, harmoni alam di
Belitong saat ini terancam oleh rencana penambangan di laut
sekitarnya. Tujuan dari page ini adalah untuk menggalang dukungan
menjadikan suara penolakan terhadap penambangan laut sebagai suara mayoritas
sehingga bisa didengarkan oleh pemerintah.

When the Last Tree Is Cut Down,
the Last Fish Eaten,
and the Last Stream Poisoned,
You Will Realize
That You Cannot Eat Money
Thank you!
