When: October 5th, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM (EST)
Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF) will be leading a webinar hosted by the Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Program (ASL) and the World Bank’s Chemicals and Hazardous Waste Community of Practice (CoP).
Our webinar will introduce CSF’s innovative new Mining Impacts Calculator, which estimates the monetary value of the social and environmental impacts of illegal gold mining activities in the Brazilian Amazon, focusing on deforestation, river silting, and mercury contamination. In collaboration with the Federal Public Prosecutors’ Office of Brazil (MPF), CSF’s Calculator is already making an impact on the ground, helping the MPF to secure victories in the regulation of mining activities, enforce stricter financial penalties for lawbreakers, and safeguard communities across Brazil from the environmental threats of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM).
