Transition minerals from the world's most arid ecosystem
Climate ambitions do not take into account the irreversible consequences of mining. In northern Chile, an ancient ecosystem and a 12.000 year-old culture are being sacrificed. Are climate policies destroying precisely what they could fix? This article examines the impact of lithium mining on the ecosystem and its inhabitant communities in the Atacama desert in Chile. A first-person perspective by Darko Lagunas, the article demonstrates the urgent need for those communities who are the prime rights-holders to be genuinely front and center in any movement building around these impacts.
