Project Highlight: Faunal Usage of the Gove Refinery Pre-Demolition Survey. We are proud to support Rio Tinto in their plans to decommission, dismantle, and remove the alumina refinery on the Gove Peninsula. As part of this process, we conducted a comprehensive pre-demolition fauna impact assessment to identify bird species nesting on refinery infrastructure and bat species roosting within it. The assessment included: ✔️Desktop analyses of potential species in the area. ✔️Field surveys during the breeding season for local bird species. The aim of this study was to estimate the species and numbers of individuals potentially impacted during the demolition and to provide recommendations for mitigation measures to lessen the impact on native fauna.
