Improving species and habitat management

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.

Enhancing biodiversity and promoting awareness

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.

Species protection program (Grey Partridge)

The aim of the project was to create a various structured landscape with a mosaic of large optimal partridge habitats in the Vohnenbronnen quarry.
