Biodiversity

Biodiversity and its management are of strategic importance to Rio Tinto. Worldwide, we work in regions that are recognised and valued locally and globally for their biodiversity resources. The significance of these biodiversity resources continues to increase as human and natural pressures escalate extinction rates and modify habitats.

The management of the environment is a complex issue for which we are all responsible. Conservation strategies have involved close liaison and cooperation between traditional landowners and local communities, governments and non government organisations (NGOs). There is now increasing expectation that the industry sector should take a role in conservation initiatives.
