A look at biodiversity in Northern Chile.
At Teck, we are responsible stewards of the environment from which we draw resources. At Quebrada Blanca Operations (QB) in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile, that stewardship focuses, in large part, on a variety of species of flora and fauna, like those pictured here. Many of these species fall under special conservation regulations due to their status as vulnerable or endangered, and interactions with the environment they inhabit require careful adherence to the guidelines in place at QB—like those that prohibit the removal, capture or disturbance of any vegetation and/or wildlife—to help ensure the region’s biodiversity is protected.
