Cajamarca - Proyecto Conga

If anything in this small opinion paragraph seems ingorant, I apologize. I'm not well informed on the situation.
At least I tried.


I can see and I understand that mining is a great source of income for the country, but one can't force it in a place if it's going to damage the people that live there.
Why? Because it's not right. The people that live there are, well, people, they need a nice environment, somwhere they can live in peace and healthy. Yes, income for the country is important. Yes, mining is a great source of income. But, what si more important, money or lives? I say lives, and I think most people think so too.

Unless our society really has degraded that much.

So I think that, if there's no way to make the project not affect the population in such a bad way, then it should be stopped. Nobody can have control over other people's condition of life.
