The book, Amazon Forest: Biodiversity and Forest Restoration in Paragominas, presents findings from research conducted in rehabilitated areas covering approximately 3,759 hectares. It examines how these areas develop over time and how mining activities affect the surrounding ecosystem.
{alcircleadd}The work is based on contributions from 78 researchers across 19 institutions. Since 2013, the BRC has carried out 25 research projects and contributed to more than 80 scientific publications on biodiversity, ecological impacts of mining, and forest restoration. The consortium’s activities are financed by the Hydro Fund.
“Through this partnership and BRC’s research, we can better understand the ecological context in which we operate. This work supports our nature ambition of no net loss of biodiversity in Paragominas and in future projects,” says Eduardo Figueiredo, SVP Sustainability and Communication in Hydro Bauxite & Alumina.
The BRC partnership brings together scientific expertise from across the Amazon and internationally. Insights from the partnership increase understanding soil recovery, species resilience, and the complex interactions between plants, animals, and ecosystems, all critical to designing effective restoration approaches.
These efforts support Hydro’s biodiversity ambitions, including no net loss of biodiversity in new projects and in Paragominas, as well as rehabilitating mined areas on a 1:1 basis within two hydrological seasons after operations end.
