Development of Sustainable and Diverse Cultural Landscapes in Surface Mining Areas

Development of Sustainable and Diverse Cultural Landscapes in Surface Mining Areas

The Greening Deserts projects focus on sustainability and diversity, especially for greening and research camps in surface mining landscapes. The projects act lawful and forward-looking in the context of the experiences, possibilities and knowledge. Here are some important points.

• Vote and exchange with the relevant authorities, such as the nature conservation authority
• Other good or potential cultures, international developments and projects should also be integrated, through exchanging and sharing of experiences, research and development of better or new greening procedures and cultivation of potential crops for land and water
• Offers of social and cultural programs, guided tours, trainings, workshops and events
• Processing and offering a comprehensive sociocultural program with art and music, free of charge and paid
• Exhibitions from and for art, not just landscape art
• Observation, integration and creation of traditional cultural landscapes in post-mining landscapes, for example through typical healthy vegetation (mixed forests) and species diversity (diversity)
• Promoting the cultivation of flowering plants and protection of insects
• Botanical gardens or parks with plants and animals from all over the world can be integrated very well into extraneous natural areas or landscapes
• A good idea is to establish the allotment gardens (allotments) in opencast mining or surface mining landscapes
• Integration of schools, universities and other educational institutions in the developments and development processes
• Sustainable landscape and nature oriented recreation for national and international tourism with the best possible natural experience, cultural and artistic life experience
  
• Creating lakes and water reservoirs by flooding surface mining holes, dips or valleys
• Cultivation of agricultural or cultivated crops like bamboo, potatoes, hemp or cannabis – they are great plants for top soil production
• Connection of culture and nature with relation to forestry and agriculture
  
• Lectures, photo and film shows, information and teaching events

In the case of extensive interventions in the landscape and nature (protective goods such as nature reserves), an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is prepared, although this is usually only necessary if a spatial planning or planning procedure is necessary. The assessment of environmental impact should be carried out not only voluntarily and for the site search, but also for all projects which could have a significant impact on the protection of the protected goods.
