April 1, 2010

http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=png_ramu_mine
Chinese government owned China Metallurgical Construction (MCC) corporation's
efforts to establish the massively destructive Ramu Nickel mine in Madang
Province, Papua New Guinea the largest investment in metal exploration and
mining by the Chinese outside of China is in serious jeopardy. Local
landowners are successfully initiating court cases and protests to demand mine
tailings not be dumped into the sea poisoning fish stocks and causing extreme
ecological destruction or the mine be stopped. The entire project has been
mismanaged, marked by shoddy construction; and disregard for local rights,
life, and marine and rainforest ecology. Chinese mining investment in Madang
against local wishes can only be described as an invasion of sovereign peoples,
and will be resisted at all costs.
