In Brazil, our operations are located in the Cerrado savannah biome and the Atlantic Forest biome, areas which are particularly rich in biodiversity. In accordance with legal requirements, we continue to carry out biodiversity conservation actions embedded within an active reforestation program linked to the use of biomass at the Catalão site in the state of Goiás. CMOC has reforested 1,448 hectares of land, and between 2019 and 2022 planted over 89,000 saplings. 

Our environmental control plan contains specific provisions for the monitoring of animal and plant populations, including migratory, terrestrial, and aquatic animals. We have established 34 biodiversity monitoring sites around the mine. 

In 2022, CMOC Brasil invested a total of R$370,000 in biodiversity efforts.
