Smallholder farmers in Cajamarca, Colombia continue to stand for their rights. CAFOD, and other CIDSE organisations are supporting their 7-year struggle in a David vs Goliath battle. An overwhelming 98 per cent of the population of Cajamarca, Colombia, voted to reject mining in the area in 2017, yet Colombian authorities and the mining corporation are still disputing the validity of the results. https://lnkd.in/eHrduWbb

More support should ordinarily be aimed at the secondary industry for an economy to sustainably grow! Our local configuration seems to direct more support towards the primary industry with mining and agriculture taking the bulk of funding. SMEs can revolve around secondary industry and make the difference if only they get the support that creates a good environment! #creditmanagement #smefinance #developmentfinance

What is the real cost of gold mining? What happens when environmental impact is framed in terms of economic impact? MAAP Conservación Amazónica - ACCA recently analyzed the environmental and economic impact in three local communities in the Madre Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon, where gold mining has torn apart the rainforest and created a public health crisis for residents. The project was carried out using the Mining Impacts Calculator, a tool created by the Conservation Strategy Fund CSF to quantify the economic impact of environmental damage. Read all the details in Mongabay article "In Peru’s Madre de Dios, deforestation from mining brings huge economic losses": by Maxwell Radwin. https://lnkd.in/er_i-nBW

This whole hullabaloo has been to make : 1. Galamsey (illegal mining - whether in forests or water bodies) an abormination. ILLEGAL means ILLEGAL and governance does not allow anything illegal since it becomes impossible to bring under control or regulate. 2. Ensure irresponsible mining is brought under control (statistics worrying). How many registered companies now and how many is to come? 3. Ensure reclamation of destroyed lands or water bodies. ●Destroyed lands - reclamate ● Destroyed water bodies - reclamate through allowing fallowing (wash away the evils in the rivers through the rains) or preventing individuals from more mining in such places. Again, are we there? #Africa #ResponsibleMining #Objectives #Focus

What I learnt today about 2023 deforestation in Indonesia from Auriga: 1. Without transparency, the Ministry of Environment revised the deforestation figures released by the Global Forest Watch. (Shocking) 2. Nearly 260 thousand hectares of forest, mostly in Borneo, have been destroyed. An increase from 2022. 3. The biggest culprits in deforestation are pulpwood plantations, logging, oil palm and mining companies.

Do searching for Kyanite jewelry raise any upright or natural issues? Similarly as other various minerals and gemstones, Kyanite jewelry extraction could prompt moral and normal issues. Yet the mining of kyanite isn't directly associated with major natural naughtiness, silly mining undertakings can provoke issues like climate aggravation, water tainting, and land corruption. Moreover, districts where kyanite is mined may experience issues with fair work rules, worker security, and neighborhood. Drives for moral getting hope to facilitate these worries by enabling moral mining systems, essentially work practices, and regular safeguarding in the gemstone region.
