CIMBENIN develops, through the company CALCIM S.A, a limestone extraction and crushing unit in FONGBA in the Mono department, Lokossa municipality .

Everyday biodiversity is confronted with multiple aggressions due to human activities. Despite the many efforts made so far, we are still witnessing the disappearance of certain species. In Benin,

Submitted to numerous extinction factors, many species have succeeded in securing their survival in quarries which are ecologically isolated areas from classic human activities. Unfortunately,

The project aims a raising awareness on the rich biodiversity of the area targeting (1) local communities (through schools) around the quarry and (2) the CIM Benin employees.

Quarrying is a form of mining distinguished by the fact that the product is for building or architectural purposes, rather than being destined for further processing (Lahiri-Dutt, 2004).
