Biodiversity
Our approach to biodiversity is based on the idea that enhancing or preserving habitat near our worksites minimizes negative impacts on surrounding lands and water. Based on expectations outlined in our SHE Manual, we:
- Meet all federal, state/provincial and local regulatory requirements
- Attend public meetings and draft detailed environmental impact statements as part of our phosphate mine permitting process
- Study, promote and monitor biodiversity around our US and Canadian mine sites
- Promote sustainable practices such as continuous cropping and imposing grazing limits where applicable
- Work with partners to enhance biodiversity
- Actively support government initiatives to promote biodiversity and to preserve ecosystems
