Mines will more effectively meet their commitments to successful reclamation.&#8221; As described in the paper, the Institute will provide the tools practitioners need to make landform design a common practice. It will advocate for the integrated, multidisciplinary and collaborative approach integral to this transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:22.21%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/landformdesign.ca\/LDI-PositionPaper2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"776\" src=\"http:\/\/landformdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LDI-PositionPaper2021.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1361\" style=\"width:218px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LDI-PositionPaper2021.png 600w, https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LDI-PositionPaper2021-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:44.45%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Download the position paper <a href=\"http:\/\/landformdesign.ca\/LDI-PositionPaper2021.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/pdf\/LDI-PositionPaper2021.pdf\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POSITION PAPER In the spring of 2021, the LDI released a landmark position paper, charting a course for the transformation of mine closure and reclamation toward a more responsible and environmentally sustainable practice.\u00a0Mining with the End in Mine makes the case for planning for post-mining land uses even before mining [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":10,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"iawp_total_views":9,"_mc_calendar":[],"inspiro_page_layout":"narrow","inspiro_hide_title":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1359","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1359\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/landformdesign.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
