Bougainville Panguna mine

The People of Bougainville are still being pressured with coercion to reopen the defunct Panguna mine in Central Bougainville by a company called Bougainville Copper Limited responsible for the environmental destruction and deaths of up 20,000 People in a civil war and an eco-revolution that shut down Panguna mine for BCL permanently. For twenty years now the mine has been a restricted area as the customary land owners maintain a no go zone to defend their land, resources, environment and wellbeing from being stolen and destroyed ever again.
