ACTION ALERT PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

 

Resistance Growing to Ecologically Devastating Chinese Mining Invasion of

Madang, Papua New Guinea

 

By Rainforest Portal, a project of Ecological Internet

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW:

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.
