ldn ’ t Wouldn t it be nice to work respon onsible ble and use Mother r Earth sustaina nable ble as a living ng enviro ronm nment nt not losing ng more Biodiv divers rsity ty than n absolute lutely needed AND earn Money by your r mining ng activiti ties?
Yes, that t is possible ble. But there re are some challe llenges! The impact of development of a mining area is very large: • Negative social impact • Positive social impact • Environmental quality
Possible ble negati tive social al impact • Loss of habitat for mankind, animal and plant may cause conflicts with locals and protectionists • Loss of face for government officials if conflicts occur • Loss of hunting grounds and agricultural / forestry production facilities (economical / conflicts) • Loss of social equilibrium due to influx of new inhabitants (miners) • Loss of (potential) touristic values
Possible ble positi tive social al impact • Opportunity to (re) develop communities • More budget to build safe water supply, electric power, schools, health clinics, communal buildings • Improved logistics are profitable for villagers too • Road, air field, safe water, electricity, telephone, television, bus etc
Possible ble positi tive social al impact • Increased income due to jobs and improved • logistics to develop agriculture, forestry, trade, small industry
Enviro ronme nment ntal al impact t • Landscape wounds • Groundwater pollution • Surface water poisoned • Erosion (sediment transport) • Air quality and noise • Plant and animal life destruction • Negative impact on tourism
Biodiv divers rsity y Mitigatio igation Ladder: der: •Prevent… •Reduce… •Repair… •Compensate… …Loss of Biodiversity as much as possible in the different stages of mining.
