Biodiversity Conservation

The protection, management, and restoration of biological diversity including ecosystems, species, and genetic resources affected by mining activities. Biodiversity conservation in mining involves pre-impact surveys, avoidance of sensitive habitats, mitigation of unavoidable impacts, and rehabilitation of disturbed areas using local endemic species. In tropical regions where bauxite and gold mining occur, conservation programs target endemic flora and fauna. Conservation outcomes are monitored against baseline data and reported to regulators as part of environmental compliance obligations.
