PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT PERU LNG 2021 MONITORING BIOREMEDIATION WORK Permanent bioremediation work is carried out to re-establish the natural condition of areas affected during the construction of the gas pipeline. In the 2021-2022 bioremediation campaign we plan to plant native species on 6.86 kilometres of the right of way, maintain fences to prevent overgrazing and improve the soil be removing stones. This work has re-established the native vegetation over most of the distance disturbed during construction. BIODIVERSITY MONITORING PROGRAMME (BMAP) AND ASSESSMENT This program was conceived by PERU LNG together with the Center for Conservation, Education and Sustainability (CCSE) of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI), with the aim of preserving biodiversity during construction work and operation of the pipeline, plant and port facility. The BMAP uses biological evaluations and monitoring to determine the condition of species, their habitats and changes over time. This information was used to draw up guidelines so that PERU LNG can take decisions that help to mitigate any impact on biodiversity. The following research protocols were developed in 2021: • Pasture on the Andean Plateau • Wetland vegetation • Rodents of the high Andean pasture OLP CHAPTER 6 WORKING WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT 79
