nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to
life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right
to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without
discrimination. (UN,

Involuntarily resettlement
–
Both physical displacement (relocation or loss of shelter) and
economic displacement (loss of assets or access to assets that leads to loss of income sources or
other means of livelihood) as a result of project-related land acquisition and/or restrictions on
land use. (IFC,
Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement
, 2012)
Leach pad –
“Large engineered
structures, lined with an impermeable layer of plastic (referred
to as a geosynthetic membrane) and placed over a prepared
surface that is typically a
compacted soil layer. Ore is placed (heaped) on the lined pad and treated
with chemicals to
dissolve (leach) a metal of interest while protecting the environment.
The plastic liner placed at
the bottom and around the sides of the pad prevents chemicals from leaking into the soil and
contaminating groundwater.” (

Protection

No net loss –
Point at which project-related impacts on biodiversity are balanced
by measures
taken to avoid and minimize the project’s impacts, to undertake on-site
restoration, and finally,
to offset significant
residual impacts, if any, on an appropriate geographic scale (e.g., local,
landscape-level, national, regional). (IFC,

and Sustainable Management of Living Natural
Resources
