Our objectives for biodiversity management include considering biodiversity-related information and management systems during due diligence assessment programs, undertaking comprehensive biodiversity baseline studies to document conditions before the development of new mines or significant expansion beyond a current mine’s footprint, monitoring biodiversity management programs and promotion of sustainable management of living natural resources through the fostering of partnerships that seek to integrate conservation needs and development priorities, and aiming to include community-based knowledge in the development of the plans, where available.
