Biodiversity
Wildlife stewardship and protection are of central
impor tance to Mosaic. Prior to mining,
environmental site assessments are per formed
on each site to identif y any threatened or
endangered species. When species of concern
are identified, Mosaic’s ecologists develop
plans to properly accommodate them before
mining star ts. We take a systems approach
to biodiversit y, with the goal of integrating
habitat networks and wildlife corridors into our
reclamation planning ef for ts. Mosaic has also
taken a leadership role in pioneering wildlife
relocation techniques, in creating prime habitats,
and in providing continued financial suppor t for
wildlife rehabilitation and communit y education.
Burrowing Owl Translocation
Burrowing owls are a Florida species of special
concern, and a number of the owls have been
identified on Mosaic’s proper t y. Working with
local wildlife agencies, Mosaic is exceeding
regulator y requirements by researching and
testing best management practices for relocating
the owls. Mosaic’s ecologists have been
conducting burrowing owl translocations since
2006,
helping to develop techniques that protect
this owl population on our lands.
