<p>According to an embodiment, a biodiversity evaluation index calculation apparatus includes a first calculation unit, a second calculation unit, and a third calculation unit. The first calculation unit calculates a vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a vegetation database, the vegetation/living-animal coefficient representing at least one of diversity of plant species and diversity of animal species. The second calculation unit calculates a biodiversity value based on a type of a reserve and the vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a reserve geography database, the biodiversity value representing biodiversity richness. The third calculation unit configured to calculate, for each of a plurality of mines, a biodiversity evaluation index by referring to a mine database, the biodiversity evaluation index representing a mining impact on biodiversity. The third calculation unit calculates the biodiversity evaluation index by adding biodiversity values of regions included in a mining impact range representing a range of an impact of mining on a peripheral environment.</p> |
