population
The province's population is made up of Malays and Dayak . In the course of the resettlement policy of the Indonesian government, numerous people from overpopulated regions have been resettled in the province ( Transmigrasi ), which repeatedly leads to conflicts. The capital is Banjarmasin with 580,000 inhabitants.

history
In the 15th century, a Hindu -influenced kingdom established itself in the region, which since the 16th century became the Sultanate of Banjarmasin as a result of increasing Islamization . In 1860 the region finally came under Dutch colonial administration and the sultanate was dissolved. In 1950 Kalimantan Selatan became a province of the now independent Indonesia. At first, the area of Kalimantan Tengah also belonged to the province; however, the Dayak who lived there fought for secession in 1957.
economy
The timber industry and plantation economy are economically important; above all rubber is grown. Coal mining and fishing play a smaller role. As in many other Indonesian provinces, clearing the rainforests poses massive ecological problems. Another major problem is the use of highly toxic mercury for artisanal gold mining in the amalgam process . Air and water pollution affects around 225,000 people. In 2013 this deficiency led to the “nomination” of all of Central and South Kalimantan among the top 10 most contaminated areas on earth by the Blacksmith Institute . The institute tries to improve the situation through educational work with the gold miners.
