Physical land disturbance mapped from imagery (2019). Pollution is measured separately and is not included.
No mining footprint mapped here in the 2019 imagery.[3]
Outside known permit boundaries is not a finding of illegality: it can be a gap in the ESDM permit layer, an older or expired permit, or another land use.
Forest loss
Tree-cover loss 2001–2025, where tree cover in 2000 was at least 30 %. Annual satellite data (Hansen / University of Maryland).
Loss means tree cover was removed: clearing, but also plantation harvest or fire. It is not a finding of illegal deforestation, and the data is yearly, not monthly.

Model: comparable agriculture land Rp 9,108/m² minus expected reclamation ≈ Rp 15,572/m² (tin). Reclamation costs more than the land is worth: net −Rp 7,349/m², so its value is 0 (74% of model runs negative).

From value now to net gain
Value now → value after restoration, plus what restoration adds for everyone, minus the costs, gives the net gain.

Satellite column density, not air at ground level. Sentinel-5P (TROPOMI) measures the amount of NO₂ and SO₂ in the whole air column. The figure is the ENHANCEMENT over the surrounding background, not a ground-level concentration and not a health exposure value. The zone is named by place; this is not a finding about any company.

Monthly NO₂ enhancement (thin), 12-month running mean (bold), ± 1 SE band; 0 = background
SO₂ for this place is not available yet (sampled orbits still being processed).
The ±SE is statistical only; the retrieval (air-mass factor) uncertainty is 25–50 % for NO₂ and larger for small SO₂ columns. No wind data is used yet: the background ring covers all directions.
