This training manual provides a high-level overview of the important steps to consider for mine closure. It has been developed to support clear, informed and balanced discussions about bauxite mine closure. Its purpose is to help communities understand the key steps and considerations for mine closure, how to achieve them, discuss some of the language used and therefore better understand what is being discussed, what rights exist, and what questions may be important to ask.

This training manual was produced as part of the ASI IPAF Bauxite Mine Rehabilitation Project supported by the ISEAL Innovations Fund.
