Cerro Verde, one of the most reputable mining companies operating in Peru, has been implementing programs aimed at the conservation of endangered species as part of its biodiversity management plan, which is included in its social and environmental responsibility project. Two of these programs stand out: one dedicated to the conservation of the Peruvian long-snouted bat (Platalina genovensium) and the other to the protection of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe). Cerro Verde received international recognition for the great work it has been doing in these programs. 

For the conservation of the Peruvian long-snouted bat, Cerro Verde carries out activities to maintain its habitat unaltered, paying special attention to protecting the shelters where they roost. Cerro Verde also focuses on protecting the bats' food sources: the cacti that produce nectar, a key factor in their diet. 

To conserve the guanaco, Cerro Verde has been implementing measures to improve the guanaco's habitat and to monitor and control possible threats to this species.
