Abstract
"In July 2003, a major workshop was organised under the auspices of the Dialogue at IUCN’s headquarters in Gland, Switzerland. Several case studies from around the world were reviewed and discussed to lay the foundation for the development of good practice guidance for the mining industry. Those case studies and others are summarised in this publication. The case studies illustrate how management tools, rehabilitation and restoration processes, together with improved scientific knowledge, can help conserve biodiversity. They also show that mutual benefits can result from stronger collaboration between the mining and conservation sectors, just as they demonstrate the issues on which we are still searching for common ground. This publication shows how good practice, collaboration and innovative thinking can advance biodiversity conservation worldwide while ensuring that the minerals and products that society needs are produced responsibly. It is our hope that this report will inspire communities, companies, governments, NGOs and scientists to co-operate in developing more avenues for integrating mining and biodiversity conservation in ways that reduce conflict and costs and that recognise the rights and interests of all."
