With presenter Bo Jeuken and Milieudefensie we brought the consequences of tin mining in Indonesia to life. The island of Bangka has been largely destroyed by tin mining, both on land and in coastal waters. In part thanks to Milieudefensie, the Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative is working with companies to solve the problems and improve conditions on Bangka.
