Bauxite mining in Mount Shengena : The forests are disappearing under spoil heaps
Dear friends of the rainforests,
Ample natural resources in poor countries can more often be a curse than a blessing. Ruthless companies are coming and taking away these resources regardless of the environment and the local residents. A devastated piece of land is left behind. At the moment, this is also happening in the northern mountains of Tanzania. Now, however, you can still decide how this story will end. Help the people in and around the mountain village of Chome to stop the destruction of their habitat.
In these mountains, a dubious company with changing names is illegally mining for bauxite, a raw material for aluminum and cement. This is not only destroying the forest, but also the water source of the entire region. If nobody stops them, the whole area with more than 250,000 inhabitants will dry up.
Call upon the government of Tanzania to put an end to the exploitation:
TAKE ACTION 
More than 100,000 people have signed our protest for the protection of elephants and the rainforest in Malaysia.
A first success can already be seen: the politicians of Malaysia, including the Prime Minister, have expressed grave concern about the significant number of signatures and would now like to work together with environmental organizations. We will continue to put pressure on them until they finally put an end to the clearing of the forests.
You can continue to sign the petition: Malaysia sacrifices its elephants for palm oil
Please forward this on to friends or share on Facebook.
