Luis Enrique Sánchez, Full Professor at University of São Paulo, holds a degree in Mining Engineering and a Bachelor degree in Geography, both from the University of São Paulo (respectively in 1980 and 1984). He obtained a master degree in Techniques Minières (mining techniques) from École des Mines de Nancy, France (1985) and a Ph.D. in Economics of Natural Resources and Development from École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris (now part of Paris Tech) in 1989. His research interests include environmental impact assessment, environmental management, environmental and social impacts of mining, sustainability in the extractive industries and land rehabilitation. In 2009 he was Visiting Fellow at the School of Environmental Sciences, Murdoch University, Australia and Visiting Fellow in the summer 2017-18. In the summer 2019-20 he was Visiting Academic at the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences of The University of Queensland. In 1996-97 he was Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Geography, University of Montreal, Canada. He is a fellow of Lead - Leadership for Environment and Development and a member of the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA), having acted as Director (1998-2001) and President (2012-13). Since September 2017 he is member of the "Rio Doce Independent Technical and Scientfic Advisory Panel" of IUCN-International Union for Conservation of Nature. He co-edits book reviews for the journal Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal and is associate editor of the journal Cleaner Production Letters.

Mining impacts native vegetation, both within areas leased for mineral extraction and throughout surrounding landscapes for infrastructure development. These cumulative impacts affect biodiversity through habitat removal, with negative consequences sometime extending hundreds of kilometers from mining lease boundaries. Mining also fragments natural landscapes, which further degrades surro…
The capacity of ecosystems to provide goods and services for society is known as ecosystem services. This concept is being applied to a number of analytical and decision-making contexts and can shed new light on decisions related to the approval of new undertakings potentially causing significant environmental impacts. This project aims at applying an ecosystem services review approach to…

The research aims at developing, testing and validating an ecosystems services-based procedure to evaluate land rehabilitation in mining. Current best practice evaluates the results of rehabilitation actions against targets in terms of vegetation growth, plant diversity or soil parameters. The concept of ecosystem services, on the other hand, provides an integrative approach to gauge to w…
Recent research and experience in the field of Impact Assessment has highlighted the importance of developing studies able to integrate environmental, social and economic issues in decision-making, in order to support positive contributions to sustainability in all its dimensions. To designate this approach, the term Sustainability Assessment has been used, leading to the emergency of a n…
The ecosystem services concept - currently applied to several planning and decision-making contexts - can be used to evaluate outcomes of mine site rehabilitation. An Ecosystem Services Approach to Rehabilitation (ESAR) is being developed on the basis of a conceptual construction and field-tests in two bauxite mines, located in Juruti (Brazil) and Pinjarra (Australia). In both cases, stri…
The concept of ecosystem services provides an integrative approach to gauge to what extent restoring ecosystem functions results in social benefits. The research aims at enhancing and testing a draft version of an ecosystems services-based procedure to evaluate land rehabilitation in mining. This procedure, named Ecosystem Service Approach to Rehabilitation- ESAR, was developed and tested…
