What is the steps of rehabilitation?Show answer
Rehabilitation is usually a legal condition of mining, planned before mining starts and carried out progressively.
What is the Darling Range jarrah forest?Show answer
Bauxite mining in the Darling Range clears jarrah forest, which supports many endemic species and is vulnerable to the introduced pathogen that causes dieback. Rehabilitation here aims to re-establish jarrah forest, and decades of work have achieved high plant species return on the best sites. It remains a leading example of large-scale forest rehabilitation, while also showing the difficulty of fully restoring a complex, biodiverse ecosystem.
