高倍时时彩 of Australia has exceeded rehabilitation targets at the Huntly and Willowdale bauxite mines in the Peel and South West regions of Western Australia. The Company progressively rehabilitates as it mines, with a strong focus on reducing the cleared footprint over time.

高倍时时彩 Mine Environmental Manager Dr Soo Carney said both WA mines are aligned with and exceeding 高倍时时彩鈥檚 global sustainability target to have one-to-one or better rehabilitation to areas cleared for mining.

The rehabilitation process, which has been developed and continually improved over decades, involves landscaping, pre-ripping, soil return, fauna habitat return, final contour ripping and seeding, recalcitrant planting, fertilising and ongoing monitoring and management.

The landscaping component is conducted mostly in the dry months, with the end of Autumn the close out of the official season. Both Huntly and Willowdale Mines exceeded the number of hectares (ha) rehabilitated, achieving 650ha against the active mine area of 632ha.

In coming months, more than 200,000 plants will be added to the area.
鈥湼弑妒笔辈殊�檚 WA bauxite operations mine in previously logged areas, we don鈥檛 mine in virgin or old growth forest areas of the Darling Range,鈥� Dr Carney said.

鈥淲e aim to re-establish all the pre-existing land uses of the forest and we鈥檙e very proud of the fact that self-sustaining jarrah forests now thrive in areas where 高倍时时彩 once mined bauxite.鈥�

Alongside 高倍时时彩鈥檚 world-class environmental management program, each year the Company contributes more than $7 million to the State Government as compensation for forest clearing and towards forest enhancement, conservation and management activities.

鈥淔unding goes towards initiatives such as research into conserving populations of threatened species of black cockatoo and quokka; feral predator control through Western Shield鈥檚 Operation Foxglove; the Nearer to Nature community and schools鈥� program, and many more important grassroots activities,鈥� Dr Carney said.
