Our Work

Mining Justice and Waste Management

Mining waste must never be treated as an acceptable sacrifice imposed on poor communities.

What we advocate for

  • Tailings safety
  • Hazardous-waste management
  • River and groundwater protection
  • Soil and air monitoring
  • Independent environmental inspections
  • Emergency-response plans
  • Polluter-pays enforcement
  • Financial guarantees
  • Mine-closure plans
  • Land restoration
  • Community remedy
  • Legacy-pollution accountability
“No company should take profits while leaving communities with poisoned water, unsafe land or abandoned waste.”
