The French government will soon decide whether to grant the last

required environmental license for industrial open-air gold

mining in the primary rainforests of French Guyana by the

Canadian multinational Cambior. The site chosen for the project

covers 30 square kilometers of rainforest and an important

nature reserve. Local peoples are protesting by organizing the

" No to the Cambior project at Kaw Mountain " campaign made up of

a coalition of 24 organizations in French Guyana against the

gold mining activity. The gold mining activities as planned by

Cambior S.A. will devastate the ecology of these priceless

tropical rainforests of Guyana and their inhabitants. Take

action now:
