Special Event: SER announces publication of a world first Standard for Mining Restoration

Western Hemisphere Session

16 November 2022 - 10:00 AM EST (15:00 UTC)

Speakers:

• George Gann (International Policy Lead, SER)
• Kingsley Dixon (Chair, SER Board of Directors and Professor, Curtin University)
• Renee Young (Program Director, Conservation and Restoration, The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute)
• Fernando A. O. Silveira (Professor, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais)

The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) is pleased to announce the publication of the foundational International Principles and Standards for the Ecological Restoration and Recovery of Mine Sites, a first-of-its-kind framework with standards for socially and environmentally responsible restoration in global mining activities.

These standards are designed to inspire and drive better restoration outcomes in mining landscapes while supporting the mining industry and stakeholders — including Indigenous peoples and local communities — to address the unique challenges of ecological restoration in mined lands. They come at a time of unparalleled global human impacts, where climate change, land degradation, and biodiversity loss threaten the ecological fabric of the planet.

During this webinar, key authors involved with the development of this landmark document will briefly introduce the standards and discuss their implications for stakeholders involved in mine restoration.
