leave gold in the ground!
Digging for gold is a dirty and dangerous
business. Friends of the Earth is calling for
an international ban on cyanide heap leach
gold mining in order to protect people's
health and the environment.
cut the greenwash
We are convinced that the expansion of the
global mining industry will mean more human
rights abuses, biodiversity loss, waste
production and poverty, and oppose attempts
by so-called “green” mining industry bodies
like the Global Mining Initiative to depict
mining as part of a sustainable world.
less mining for a better world
We support the community resistance to
mining projects around the world, and push
for the rights of those most affected to
determine whether, where, when and how mining
takes place.
