Abstract
Whilst major new industrial development sometimes poses a threat to scenic values and ecologically important habitats, it is also evident that industry has contributed significantly to the present-day biological resources of the British Isles. In particular, several former mineral-extraction sites have been maintained and developed specifically for the security and management of wildlife, and now constitute important habitats for the protection and survival of less-common members of the British flora. Several locations have even been successfully defended on biological grounds against proposals to reutilize them for disposing of industrial wastes and domestic refuse.
