Elements of geoecological environmental audit and accounting

Mining investments in Europe are facing environmental issues, especially those regarding landscape ecology. In this situation, Geoecology, through its multidisciplinary structure, can include specialized elements in the management process, as part of the holistic (exhaustive) evaluation. The paper presents the situation regarding the geoecological audit or the Eco-audit as an element of the evaluation and examination process that involves verification through tests and analyzes performed in order to determine if the legal requirements of the environment can be fulfilled. This element simulates the process and involves at least three stages (pre-audit, effective audit, post audit), being an important management tool. The manuscript is addressed to specialists involved in mining process with a view to develop the geoecological perspective for this sector and to present some necessary information’s for management, as a good practice.
