The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) principles has been carried out by PT Mifa Bersaudara by building a solid foundation for preserving ecosystems and biodiversity through the establishment of conservation areas within the Mining Business Permit (IUP) area of 531 ha. The conservation area owned by PT Mifa Bersaudara is inhabited by various types of rare flora and fauna typical of Aceh, which in the future will be ecologically and economically beneficial for the communities around the mine.
The conservation efforts carried out have had a positive impact on the ecosystem and biodiversity, especially in the West Aceh region. Biodiversity in this region has increased, as evidenced by the increase in the absolute value and number of species recorded in conservation areas, which can be seen in the table below.
