**Overview**

WWF-Canada’s 10-year plan to Regenerate Canada aims to expand large-scale resilient habitats, undertake complex ecosystem restoration, and reduce or eliminate industrial impacts and, as a result, reverse wildlife and biodiversity loss and fight climate change. It’s an exciting time for WWF-Canada as we focus on improving ecosystem resilience in ways that bring benefits for wildlife, Indigenous and other communities, and climate.

**Position Description**

The Specialist, Mining focuses on reducing or eliminating threats to large-scale ecosystem productivity from mining-related activities in WWF-Canada’s focus regions including but not limited to Nunavut, Hudson James Bay, and Interior BC. In partnership and collaboration with First Nations, Inuit and Metis, local communities, Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments, and where appropriate the mining sector, the Specialist will work to increase habitat viability and ecosystem carbon storage and sequestration by reducing disruptive impacts from the mining cycle including via claim staking and exploration activities, habitat destructive mine development, related infrastructure such as shipping and transportation corridors, and failure to adequately complete post mine restoration to ensure complex ecosystem regeneration and maintenance.

**Responsibilities**:

- Identify and stay abreast of mining issues, policies, legislation and regulations that negatively impact wildlife habitat, biodiversity, ecosystem carbon and community well-being.
- Lead or assist with developing and implementing strategies to reduce threats to wildlife, biodiversity and ecosystem carbon due to mining activities in geographical regions where WWF-Canada is already working.

- Provide expertise on mineral extraction laws, policies, and regulations in Canada, and suggest approaches to resource management including, but not limited to critical mineral strategies (federal and provincial), the federal Impact Assessment Act, provincial approaches to impact assessment, and regulatory structures around each of the steps in the mining sequence (e.g. consultation and engagement, claim staking, exploration/evaluation, mine development and production, mine closure, and restoration and rehabilitation).
- Collaborate and provide guidance on wildlife and industry issues to WWF-Canada’s other Conservation units and other divisions including Marketing & Communications, and Development.
- Track progress towards WWF-Canada’s Regenerate Canada goals and targets using established indicators, and actively support a culture of accountability for execution and results.
- Occasionally act as WWF-Canada’s liaison on global issues and initiatives relevant to wildlife and industry as part of the WWF International network.
- Represent WWF-Canada at external fora such as conferences and meetings, as assigned.
- Contribute to budgets, financial and progress reports, and forecasts.
