What we do

Ecological
Restoration

Viridis Terra revitalizes degraded industrial sites to align with the environmental objectives of large organizations. It's mission is to assist in the recovery and return of ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed by industrial operations. By carefully planning activities and incorporating measures for streamlined restoration, our team of experts ensures a future where the ecological integrity of the land is restored to its original state.

Why we do it

Ecological restoration is a powerful tool for sustainable development across industries and crucial for maintaining the social license to operate, especially in mining. Our effective restoration measures mitigate negative impacts on the environment and communities by:

  • Containing and eliminating contaminants; remediating polluted areas.
  • Allowing for recovery of resilient landscapes; restoring ecological balance.
  • Promoting biodiversity recovery; enhancing plant and animal habitats.

Our ecological restoration method begins with a diagnostic of the natural environment. We implement natural processes, native species, and address soil deficiencies with strategic choices of species, biotechnologies, techniques, and approaches. This approach not only drives remarkable improvements and fosters sustainable growth, but it also prevents invasive species from taking over. We understand that using non-adapted plant species can lead to long-term ecological and financial consequences for corporations.
