The Forest-Smart Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (FS-ASM) Bolt-on Standard (the Bolt-on Standard) is now available for use by artisanal and small-scale miners, their state regulators, and their customers.
This World Bank-funded project is looking to develop a ‘Bolt-on’ Standard and guideline for forest-smart mining (FSM) in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector.
Our experts supported the EPRM in developing a meaningful baseline to monitor and assess the progress and impact of all its activities.
ASM research in Chocó rainforest reveals environmental threats. Solutions include responsible mining practices, formalization, and community engagement for sustainability.
