Colombia against illegal mining



Being here in Bucaramanga, denouncing people live who are worried because many companies involved in illegal logging continue in this activity for a year.

I'm walking down the path of beautiful blue where I found the army, national police and prosecutors destroying three dredgers with that extracted emeralds.

In this area buy a pair of emeralds in the amount of money for their sale was inside a safe are doubled, he walked at least a kilometer and found dredgers where land was damaged and affected.


I went to talk to a spokesperson of the people who assures us that mining destroys the environment as for extraction harm entire hills, native species of flora and fauna, also generate hazardous waste such as acids and cyanides that harm the people generating many diseases.

to solve this problem the government is invited to show interest on illegal mining so that our environment does not disappear daily samll this is called illegal by the way they operate which is done without permission and without safety standards also suitable for the high and irreparable environmental impact.


My question is because it follows all the same after so many deaths and so much destruction of the environment, what is happening with illegal mining in Colombia? Why are there so many problems? What about the government does not take establishes rules on the matter? What communities can expect regarding illegal mining?.

This affair much to say and to debate but ultimately the goal should aim to find a solution for the state you can find a successful exit humanitarian problem that is causing mining.
