The evaluation of flora and fauna in coal mine reclamation land (case study: PT Dharma Puspita Mining, East Kalimantan, Indonesia)

It is inevitable that mining exploitation, in addition to having a positive impact on national income can also have negative the environment, such as reduced diversity of both flora and fauna. To restore environmental functions, companies are required carry out mine reclamation. Environmental management needs be carried after reclamation activities monitoring evaluating success reclamation, especially fauna diversity, vegetation, avifauna mammals. The purposes this study were: 1) identify measure biodiversity terrestrial flora, 2) mammal species, 3) determine conservation status area, 4) compare area secondary natural forest. studies were 3 areas (year plantation: 2006, 2007 2008), forests nearby comparison. Line plot sampling was used vegetation studies. Both direct observation catching up with mist net taken evaluation. In addition, footprint identification investigation. results showed Shannon-Wiener index (H') 2008 (H' = 3.04) for sapling stage higher than (H’ 2.56). Generally, dominated by family Euphorbiaceae (9 species), Rubiaceae (6 Leguminosae (5 species). Among them, 8 species included International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) red list 1 Convention Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CITES) Appendices II. birds found about 59 which open bird shrubs. number mammals 15 six them being protected threatened vulnerable according IUCN.
