Hi Pat, George Monbiot is a well known environmental activist. If you look at Bangka island on Google Earth, you will see its a small island and part of Indonesia. It is 95% covered in forest and there's only primitive infrastructure. Monbiot's aim is to unsettle multinational corporations. Surely we should be more concerned about the massive deforestation for Palm oil plantations than disrupting this historic and primitive tin mining. Marcus
