Sand And Rock Mining In Merapi Volcano Slope
Mine workers take a rest in their shelter at a sand and rock mining area in Srumbung sub-district, Magelang, Central Java, on December 17, 2025. The mining location is in a disaster-prone area, which endangers their safety and damages the environment included in the Mount Merapi national park area. This raises concerns about disasters that threaten the villages below if there is a cold lava flow or hot clouds in the event of an eruption because there is no longer any vegetation that acts as a natural barrier. However, economic pressures encourage workers to continue these activities. (Photo by Aditya Irawan/NurPhoto)
