In 2005, a specialist environmental assessment was commissioned to record invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals in the region around the existing quarry with a view to improving the management of them and their habitats.
The rehabilitation of the quarry sites, which began in 1993, recovers natural habitats for different plant and animal species. Holcim monitors and maintains these sites to ensure the habitats thrive and informs local stakeholders and residents of the efforts undertaken.
