🌍 Quarries: More than just industrial sites—they're biodiversity havens. Why? Because they play a vital role in the conservation of amphibians. Thank you, Tom, for sharing this compelling article on how thoughtful management and reclamation can transform these often-overlooked landscapes into essential habitats for species like the Natterjack Toad and European Tree Frog. At Sibelco, we’re deeply committed to balancing our industrial activities with nature. Through partnerships with organizations like BirdLife Europe and Central Asia, we’re able to turn our quarries into thriving ecosystems that foster biodiversity. As climate change continues to reshape our world, protecting these hidden havens is more important than ever. Read about how quarries can become critical habitats for amphibians in Tom’s article. 👇 #Biodiversity #Conservation #Sustainability
As a passionate hobby herpetologist, I've had the chance of observing a relatively wide variety of amphibians in their natural habitats, and one thing has become abundantly clear: quarries play a crucial role in the conservation of certain species. Having spent countless hours in old quarries, I've personally witnessed the rich biodiversity they can support if reclaimed properly. But also the traps if maintained badly. In BirdLife Europe and Central Asia's recent article, I highlight why quarries often become amphibian hotspots and give a few recommendations for preserving this rich herpetofauna after reclamation. The work of conservationists and responsible industries, like Sibelco Group, shows that with thoughtful management, quarries can do more than just serve their industrial purpose—they can become lifelines for species teetering on the brink. This has always been a personal driver to work with industries on biodiversity! As climate change continues to reshape our world, protecting and enhancing these hidden havens is more important than ever. #Amphibians #Conservation #BusinessforBiodiversity #Herpetology #BusinessforNature #RestoreNature

#DidYouKnow that the courts you’re watching during the Olympic beach volleyball matches are made with Sibelco COBANASIL®? 🏐 We've previously been honoured to provide sand for the Olympic Games in Athens (2004), London (2012), and Rio (2016). And also this year, we've sourced the sand from the nearest quarry to the host city: from Montgru-Saint-Hilaire, approximately 100 kilometres from Paris. Olympic-standard sand must meet 3 key requirements: ✔ The perfect colour to avoid sun glare ✔ Precise subangular grit and grain size between 0.25mm and 1.0mm for stability ✔ High thermal resistance to prevent heating under the sun Our COBANASIL® meets all these standards, ensuring excellent firmness, cushioning, and grip. Falling into the ultra-fine category, this sand offers exceptional stability and a firm yet responsive surface. Best of luck to all athletes! We are excited to support you in your competitions. #Olympics #BeachVolleyball #COBANASIL #SportsSurfaces #Sibelco #Innovation #materialsolutions #FIVB #MaterialSolutions

#Didyouknow: Quarries can be vital habitats for wild pollinators! 🐝🦋 Together with Natuurpunt, we're transforming quarries into thriving ecosystems. We've discovered rare species like the Four-spotted Furrow Bee in our Flemish quarries. These sites, with their sandy soils and varied relief, offer perfect nesting opportunities for ground-nesting bees and foster wildflower growth, essential for pollinators. By integrating nature into our operations, we’re proud to support biodiversity and contribute to healthier ecosystems. Read more about our efforts and the hidden world of pollinators in our quarries. 👇 #Sibelco #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Pollinators #Natuurpunt
