Biodiversity Conservation
Overview
Manage biodiversity risks by creating action plans to preserve natural habitats and resources
Biodiversity assessments are gaining momentum as an ESG requirement for mining companies before commencing operations. The goal is to identify suitable areas for mining while minimizing impact on high-value conservation sites. Here, knowledge and expertise in biodiversity conservation are vital in areas such as local ecosystems, key wildlife species and habitats, as well as understanding how to effectively implement conservation measures.
Understanding the impact of impoundment ponds, waste dumps, process plant chemicals, conservation of topsoil, oil disposal, water management, geological subsidence, fuel spills, reclamation, and recycling waste in the camps, is crucial in securing the buy-in of multiple stakeholders, including local communities and conservation organizations.
Through close collaboration with these stakeholders, long-term monitoring programs, and mindful site selection which mitigates negative externalities, mine operators can chart much smoother paths to restoration post-closure.
Key Client Challenges:
- What are the key biodiversity values and habitats in the area where we operate?
- How do we minimize mining impact and effectively monitor biodiversity on our mining sites?
- What are the best practices for rehabilitating and restoring wildlife habitats after mining operations?
- How can we incorporate biodiversity considerations into our land-use planning and site selection processes?
- Are there opportunities for offsetting or compensating for any unavoidable impacts on biodiversity?
By integrating biodiversity considerations into operations throughout the mine life cycle, developing a comprehensive ecosystem restoration plan, and actively monitoring mines with data analytics to comply with ESG regulations, mining companies can maintain social license to operate and ensure smooth operations.
