How will the mined-out areas be recovered?
Bauxite mining is planned in such a way as to make the activity compatible with rehabilitation of the environment. The vegetation cover is removed in such a way that, once the bauxite has been extracted, the same topsoil is replaced. The soil is uniformly distributed to create the conditions necessary for restoring biological activity and the natural cycle of nutrients in the mined-out area. The flora reestablishes itself in the ecosystem and is monitored by the company so tat it is reconstituted in a way that is closest to its natural state.
