At TFM, the leading biodiversity conservation issue continues to be associated with plants adapted to the local soil and climate with naturally occurring high concentrations of metals. Over the years, TFM has set up nurseries and seed banks for the copper flora as part of biodiversity conservation work in the mining area. Together with the University of Lubumbashi, we have also carried out in-depth research on the copper flora, including conservation methods and suitable growing conditions. Our pioneering work on heavy-metal-tolerant plants and their conservation has greatly improved scientific understanding in this field. In 2022, TFM continued its biodiversity programs and cultivated more than 2,500 plants, part of which contributed to the program to claim areas for progressive revegetation, and another part donated to local communities during various festivities.
