专注于生物多样性：保护小燕鸥
即使是一个像QB2一样大的项目，确保燕鸥安全和可持续的未来，智利中发现的最小鸟类仍然是一个首要任务。
While the terns’ migration pattern is not entirely understood—movement has been tracked between Ecuador and the Antofagasta region of Chile—they tend to nest in Chile’s coastal zone, near the port region where new infrastructure will be built to support QB2.
今天，世界各地只有约2,000颗燕鸥。这些鸟类的人口减少主要归因于凤尾鱼股（其主要食物来源），捕食者威胁（如狗，狐狸和其他猎物鸟类）和筑巢土地的威胁。
考虑到这一点，为了可持续地推进QB2自愿进行的关键环境措施之一是燕斯的保护计划计划，部分依赖于我们最大的资产 - 我们的人民的支持。
“保护这种迁徙的鸟类是至关重要的，这一发生这种发生的关键部分将涉及前线的帮助，”ErnestoVásquez，高级顾问，环境，QB2，QB2解释说，这是一个为Teck工作的生物学家在项目上。
“Procedures established in the protection management plan include educational materials on the tern and steps to take in the event a nest is found in the course of work at site. This information has been built into the onboarding process for all employees and contractors working on the project.”
该倡议的其他要素包括监测和报告存在新的嵌套位置，并在IKE-IKE海滩区域建立受保护区。
CristiánBeríos，社区协调员，QB2补充说：“作为我们长期承诺的一部分，我们负责平衡该项目的大量经济和社会效益，通过保护当地环境。”
