Abstract/Summary:
D. The purpose of this initiative is to provide a platform for communities, corporations, NGOs and governments to engage in a dialogue to seek the best balance between the protection of important ecosystems and the social and economic importance of mining. IUCN and ICMM are committed to discussing a full range of issues with the objective of enhancing the contribution of the mining industry to biodiversity conservation. This document provides a summary and discussion of the results of teh IUCN-ICMM workshop on Mining, Protected Areas, and Biodiversity Conservation. The workshop focused on seeking participants’ views and inputs on various activities of the IUCN ICMM Dialogue as well as other parallel projects now underway by other organisations. It also advanced the development of best practice guidance and reporting criteria in the area of biodiversity assessment and management. Accordingly, the workshop was divided into two parts: Strategic Overview and Best Practice Guidance and Recommendations.
