Peter Whitbread-Abrutat

Peter has a long history of working on the front lines of progressive and sustainable mine reclamation and related projects. He has a PhD in mining environmental science from the Camborne School of Mines at the University of Exeter and spent a decade as the senior scientist for the Eden Project, a reclaimed china clay pit that now hosts the world's largest indoor rainforest. He is the co-author of 102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground, which explores how to repurpose mine sites and rejuvenate mining communities by rebuilding with ecological integrity.

The AGM will also include an election of directors, a look of the LDI's accomplishments of the past year, and a review of its strategic plan. All members of the LDI are invited to attend the meeting, which will be held virtually on the Zoom platform.
