COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE GLOBAL MINING THREAT
Project Vision: Preventing Human Rights Abuses Related to Mining
The objective of this multi-‐year project is to build a multimedia toolkit that educates, empowers, and connects communities impacted by extractive industries. The toolkit aims to stop human rights abuses before they occur and to put communities in a strong position to protect their rights and fight for justice. The project uses videos to share stories and practical advice from communities already impacted by mining with communities where mining will soon occur. These stories will form the foundation of a video toolkit that provides communities with strategies and techniques for protecting their rights, and inspires them to action.
Cutting Edge Tools for Community Organizations
All videos will be published with a facilitator’s guide to help maximize the impact of video screenings and support communities in taking meaningful action. Videos will be distributed on DVDs, USBs, and online, along with links to relevant guides and further information on key topics and strategies covered in the videos. Key partners will also be provided with projection equipment and hands-‐on training to launch their grassroots distribution program.
Video Collection: Year 1
● The Impacts of Mining (Peru, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe)
● Baseline Data and Environmental Monitoring (Nigeria)
● Community Mapping and Resistance to Mining (Ghana)
● Building a Resistance Movement (Peru, forthcoming)
● Negotiating for Environmental Protections (Bolivia, forthcoming)
● Resettlement and Relocation (Zimbabwe, forthcoming)
Iteration & Year 2
The second phase of our project emphasizes distribution, feedback, and iteration. We will hold special screenings with target audiences in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other countries where mining poses an imminent threat. We are also seeking feedback from experts and practitioners on how to improve the content, and our distribution and implementation strategy.
Get Involved!
If you’re interested in collaborating on the project, hosting a screening, or providing advice or feedback, please contact Jessie Landerman at Jessie@newmediaadvocacy.org.
This is very sad. How a company can deceive these humble people who have such little to begin with , and then take the little that they have, this is heartless. It is horribly wrong and something should be done about this. I feel for these poor folks.
theses days survival means taking someone down or taking advantage of someone, which is an evil habit, the most painful thing is our leaders are the once striking bargains and agreements with these mine owners without any assurances and consideration of the general populace
Impacts need to be calculated even before starting anything
That's the right way 👍
Oh Zimbabwe my country how you have suffered so. 😭😭
We can only pray that things get better in the coming years
PLEASE HELP US! We are located in Northern Maine, and a mining company called "Wolfden Resources Inc." is trying to open a mine in the beautiful and pristine wilderness of our area. They want to destroy a mountain known as "Pickett Mountain". Two tribes of Native Americans use this area for food and medicine gathering. We need people across America and Canada to be aware of this horrible situation.
Wolfden Resources is run by a man named Ron Little, who used to run a mining company called "Orezone Gold" in Burkina, Africa.
Deceit by the companies that conduct such a horrific act is despicable. Worse, they have no concern or remorse. The only thing that they focus on is their onw greed. I question as to whether those greedy demons even consider those people as human. Praying that things get better are not going to make things better.
Minecraft didn’t teach me me this...
What

I feel sorry for the people suffering.....i even feel more disgusted and also sorry for those persons who did it....because their heatrs cannot in peace when they have made others to suffer....
Solutions For Pollution Problems
1. Many Production Companies Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution and pollution has increased to such an extent that it has become a threat to the world. After 2045 climate change would give more problems and by 2100 we would start having major natural disasters. So if we can minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need as a necessity, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. should be cooked at home only. Instead of cold drinks people should drink natural drinks such as lime water, coconut water or just any fruit, not any fruit juice, just the whole fruit which can be prepared or served when a customer comes in a shop, hotel or a person selling this drinks on a street and serve it to him. If we stopped producing this things so much pollution could be reduced. Also these companies need so much water and electricity, we could give that water and electricity to places where water and electricity supply is less. As the world is facing pollution problems, we should stop producing things which is not a necessity for humans. In this way we would create less pollution. These companies require so much boring underground water, the water when pumped out of the ground they flatten and sink the ground.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour.
What about the companies that are going to be stopped, they would have debts to pay. The companies which cannot pay the debts just excuse them. We will think that if companies are going to be shut down then how the Industrialists and so many people who would lose their jobs, how will they survive. For that we have to make things free to the people.
2. Make Things Free To The Peoples
As I previously said to shut down many companies which are not required as a necessity for humans, if done then many would become jobless and lose their business.
So to solve this problem the world has to make food, clothing, shelter, medicine, surgeries and education free to the peoples. If this step is taken then we can shut down any company we want. The government's of every country should arrange agricultural lands in new places for farming and supply water and seeds and all other things necessary for farming free to the people's who have lost their source of income and those who are already unemployed, if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. If this is done then no one would starve for food and robberies can be reduced so much in the world.
Many people's should do agriculture and farming. Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
3. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
This must be done. The World is researching on how to clear the earth's pollution, but if we stopped many companies like bread manufacturing company and others which are not required as a necessity, so much pollution could be reduced and maybe we won't even have to research on how to clear the earth's pollution.
True.

Que onda
hola amigo
Really mining is a great challenge
Really mining is a criminal business !
fae ragan using the resources the earth gives us is a crime? Sounds stupid.
@@Zongada shake off all that is mined in your life. We will remember you as a purist who died young of self imposed pureism. Or become engaged in responsible husbandry of the land while extracting the essential minerals that allow humans to live in relative riches compared to foraging for berries and bug.
you should have learnt from bogunville , mining is bad for your country , dont trust australia , china , bad people nz is good people
I don't think mining is good
What a terrible Video. Very narrow-minded and highly inaccurate. You can't compare 3rd world countries to highly regulated modern countries. This needs to come with a warning label as mostly false. Yes in totally backward countries where they crap their babies at birth on the ground and live like the 1500s you are going to have this. Compare apples to apples.
idc.
Oh big man!! Shiver me timbers! You can't be saying stuff like that!! Bill gates will go to your mum's house and steal your hamster.
