    Our gallery

    Since 2006, PT Vale has operated a modern nursery facility with an annual production capacity of up to 700,000 seedlings. This facility produces plants used for reclamation areas and land rehabilitation, as well as ornamental plants for company facilities.

    Through this nursery facility, PT Vale implements its commitment to protect biodiversity, through breeding local plants and endemic plants. PT Vale's nursery facilities are equipped with:
    • Growing media handling area (preparation house)
    • Greenhouse which includes the germination house and cutting house
    • Shade area (shade area)
    • Open area
    • Warehouse infrastructure
    • Supporting facilities for the Vle Indonesia Nursery Information System (NISVI)
    This park displays heavy equipments used for mining activities at PT Vale Indonesia. This park is located in a shady area, and adjacent to the arboretum. There are eight heavy equipments used for nickel ore mining, which are displayed as educational vehicles for visitors, namely 1. Haul Master, Dump Truck, Front Shovel, Telehandler, Backhoe loader, Mobile Grader, Excavator, Bulldozer D8.
    Located in an area of 5 hectares. The arboretum is a means of ex-situ conservation of more than 74 local and endemic tree species from mined forests.

    This facility is our collaboration with Unhas, IPB, and the Forestry Service of East Luwu Regency and South Sulawesi Province.
    This area existed before the development of the Kehati Park was inaugurated. This breeding facility is our collaboration with the Sulselbar Natural Resources Conservation Center (KSDA).

    In this 2-hectare area, we breed deer that breed naturally.

    Until March 2023, there were 28 deer occupying the captivity. As many as 10 of them have been released and distributed to other breeding sites by the BKSDA.
    This park was created as an artificial habitat for the conservation of various types of butterflies, especially the endemic butterfly Cytosia myrina. The park is also expected to increase the population of butterflies and increase the types of butterflies that live around the Sawerigading Wallacea Biodiversity Park.
    As the name implies, this facility is shaped like a wooden house. The Wooden House functions as a meeting area, as well as a gathering point for various activities for visitors from institutions, schools, and company guests.

    Apart from that, this facility also functions as a dojo, the Japanese term refereing to the training facility or competition venue.
    This park will function as a short distance educational route for visitors. The Showcase Area also functions as the main plaza displaying nickel mineral base rock, and several types of sampling products (slag) processed by PT Vale Indonesia factories. There is also a garden of various types of flowers that can be used for photo spots.
