Palangka Raya, 29 July 2026 – PT Asmin Bara Bronang (ABB), a subsidiary of PT Tuah Turangga Agung (Turangga Resources), receives First Place in the 2025 IPPKH Category for the Largest Watershed Rehabilitation Handover. The award is presented as part of the 2026 Watershed Rehabilitation, Reclamation, and Reforestation Technical Guidance organized by the Kahayan Watershed Management Agency (BPDAS Kahayan) in Palangka Raya.  

This achievement recognizes ABB’s commitment and consistent efforts in implementing watershed rehabilitation in accordance with applicable regulations. The rehabilitation process is carried out comprehensively, covering planning, field implementation, maintenance, verification, and the official handover to the government.  

In the IPPKH Category for the Largest Watershed Rehabilitation Handover in 2025, three companies under Turangga Resources are nominated: ABB, PT Telen Orbit Prima (TOP), and PT Suprabari Mapanindo Mineral (SMM). After the final assessment, ABB was named the first-place winner, while TOP and SMM were recognized as nominees.  

The award reflects Turangga Resources’ efforts to promote responsible environmental management practices across its operational areas. Through watershed rehabilitation, the Company seeks to help preserve forest functions and watershed ecosystems while supporting the government’s efforts to advance environmental sustainability in Central Kalimantan.  

The 2026 Watershed Rehabilitation, Reclamation, and Reforestation Technical Guidance serves as a forum to strengthen the technical understanding of holders of Forest Area Use Approvals (PPKH) and Forest Area Exchange Approvals (TMKH) on implementing watershed rehabilitation in accordance with applicable regulations. The event also serves as a platform to recognize companies that demonstrate their commitment to implementing watershed rehabilitation sustainably.  

The “Largest Watershed Rehabilitation Handover” category specifically recognizes companies that complete watershed rehabilitation obligations across extensive areas, meet established quality standards, and undergo official verification and handover by the relevant authorities.  

The event also attracts the Director of Soil Conservation and Forest Rehabilitation Engineering (TKTRH) at the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, Sri Handayaningsih; Head of BPDAS Kahayan, Muhammad Azis Ahsoni; and Head of the Watershed Management and Forest and Land Rehabilitation Division (PDASRHL) of the Central Kalimantan Provincial Forestry Agency, Ansar. The participation of representatives from the central and regional governments underscores the importance of collaboration between the government and the private sector in supporting sustainable watershed management and rehabilitation.  

Turangga Resources views this achievement as an opportunity to further strengthen watershed rehabilitation quality across its operational areas. These efforts are expected to help improve watershed rehabilitation undertaken by other PPKH and TMKH holders in both the mining and plantation sectors.
