Nauru Rehabilitation Corporation

Its primary mission is to rehabilitate land destroyed by the phosphate industry, both before and after its independence, making them once again economically useful to the small island-nation.

Once independent, however, Nauru took Australia to the courts demanding financial reparations for the environmental and agricultural damages caused by the mining operations.

The work currently involves breaking and crushing the jagged rock formations left behind by phosphate mining.

Subsequently, a layer of arable soil is supposed to cover the land, allowing for the growth of vegetation.

[citation needed] Between 2007 and 2018, the NRC was in charge of the extraction of phosphate from remaining unmined areas.
