Researchers bring the 'Sudbury method' to Peru, to help clean up mine waste

Researchers from northern Ontario are in Peru where they are sharing their knowledge of what has become known as the "Sudbury method." The Sudbury method refers to the community's work over decades to rehabilitate a landscape damaged by mining and smelting. "Sudbury has become recognized almost globally now for taking one of the most damaged landscapes on planet Earth and through a lot of work by citizens, community members, industry and government, turning it into actually a really, really nice place to live," said Graeme Spiers, an emeritus professor in environmental and earth sciences at Laurentian University.
