Metals Economics Group partners with the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Cambridge, UK, April 19, 2011 – Metals Economics Group (MEG) and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre are pleased to partner to provide information for mining companies on their proximity to national parks and other internationally important protected areas. This valuable new data layer in MEG’s online service will increase awareness within the sector about biodiversity conservation, providing additional context to mining-related development and investment.
Areas included in the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) are displayed on satellite and terrain maps within MEG’s MineSearch— the most extensive and reliable online global mining project and company database.
Protected area information maintained by the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre is highlighted in a new MineSearch map layer.
“We are delighted UNEP-WCMC is providing up-to-date information on protected areas to add important context to MEG’s services”, says Dominique di Gesu, COO, Metals Economics Group, “at a time when mining companies and investors are devoting considerable thought to a diversity of social issues ranging from land and water use to environmental impact and protection.
The WDPA is the most comprehensive global spatial dataset on marine and terrestrial protected areas available. “The mining sector has a compelling need for this information,” comments Jon Hutton, Director, UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre. “Companies need to understand protected areas better for their risk analysis and planning as some of these places are ‘no-go’ zones for drilling and other forms of development.”
The MineSearch client community includes the majority of large global mining companies, banks, investment and fund managers, as well as smaller mining companies focused on growth, service and equipment providers, governments, and consultants. MineSearch is available by subscription through Metals Economics Group. For more information, email sales@metalseconomics.com, or visit the MEG web site at www.metalseconomics.com.
