This consultant was once released as a part of an intensive discussion among ICMM and the area Conservation Union (IUCN), which has been manage to discover diversified features of biodiversity conservation within the mining and metals region. The consultant offers an informative, obtainable and hugely useful reference resource on biodiversity which might be utilized by mining businesses in any respect phases in their operations, from preliminary exploration to mine closure making plans and implementation.

However, these threats also represent opportunities to go beyond mitigating adverse impacts on biodiversity and to explore opportunities to enhance biodiversity conservation. 5. The assessment of threats to biodiversity and the development of conservation or enhancement proposals must not take place in isolation but with the engagement of key stakeholders. For example, stakeholders have an important role to play in identifying and establishing priorities regarding threats to areas of importance for biodiversity, as well as in developing and implementing proposals for conservation enhancement.
2 Management of tailings Tailings arise where mined ores are upgraded to concentrates or final products by physical processes such as screening, crushing and grinding or by chemical methods such as leaching. The biodiversity impacts of tailings storage chiefly occur in three different ways. First, creation of the initial footprint has unavoidable impacts, and thus site selection is the design factor with the most profound influence on operational impacts, rehabilitation costs and post-closure liability.
In particular, the opening up of borrow-pits or dredging of sands and gravels may have an impact on terrestrial or aquatic biodiversity. 3 Construction-related infrastructure The large numbers of workers associated with the construction of mining projects (sometimes thousands of temporary workers or contractors’ staff), along with related infrastructure, can have significant impacts on biodiversity. Of particular concern in ecologically sensitive areas is the likelihood of more permanent inmigration following the construction period.
