Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This publication aims to contribute to planning and management approaches that minimize land degradation and desertification in arid and semi-arid zones as a result of extractive industries operations. It is primarily intended to help those government departments responsible for the licensing, planning, and monitoring of extractive industries activities to take account of environment and development issues in their decision-making. In addition, the document offers environmental planning and management fundamentals for extractive industries, local non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions.Chapters 1-4 outline operational guidance on extractive industries development activities. This covers a range of topics, including an overview of the key characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments, and an introduction of the main stages of extractive industries development interventions (exploration, appraisal, construction and production, decommissioning and rehabilitation and ecosystem restoration). Chapter 5 provides policy guidance. It summarizes the key guiding principles that will help government officials, environmental NGOs, and executives of extractive industries to consider the ecosystem conservation needs of exploration and exploitation activities in are and semi-arid lands to promote sustainable development.
