The state of the environment report has pointed to resource extraction as one of the main pressures on the Australian environment mining resources rehabilitation MineralsCouncil environmental exploration
PERTH – Resource extraction has been identified as one of the key pressures behind the decline in Australia’s environment, according to the latest State of the Environment report.
“Australia continues to bear the legacy of tens of thousands of orphaned or abandoned mines that pose an ongoing risk to the environment, public health and safety. The cumulative impact of past practices, as well as present activities, is substantial and not well understood, with significant legacy issues remaining unaddressed,” the report found.
“The true number of extinctions is likely to be significantly higher because many species are poorly surveyed or poorly described, or both. Increasingly, we are resorting to the costliest conservation mechanisms of restoration, rehabilitation, ex situ conservation, translocations, and the creation of safe havens on islands and in fenced areas,” the report reads.
“But in the meantime, I’d like to see an immediate start on improving our environmental data and regional planning – establishing a shared view around what needs to be protected or restored, and areas where development can occur with minimal consequence,” the Minister said.People will have different ideas of what national standards should look like. And as Minister, I will make calls that some people disagree with. But I’m determined to improve the system.
