Surface Mining
For Rosaura Barahona
The Web has a video that is as interesting as painful on the same subject in www.bajasurenpeligro.com / video .
Baja California peninsula has always been very attractive for various foreign companies that are very special geography in a number of opportunities to explore and exploit new opportunities for development.
Halfway through the 20 th century, Quintana Roo and Baja California were territories known by those foreign born there and enjoyed the beauty of these spaces then removed from the so-called civilization.
While I was studying at the Tec, Miguel, a friend of Quintana Roo, was the first to speak of unusual beauty of the region, the color of their marine waters and nearby ruins and unexplored that was on the Peninsula. And always add: "Too bad that one day will destroy hotels and natural wealth to build buildings identical to any beach created for tourism anywhere in the world." Miguel
not wrong, and today the area is full of hotels whose price included damage in some cases, destroy, in others, the flora and fauna to convert the site into a tourist spot.
What have created many new jobs? As many as trans. And although the story is that much of this country, no we must resign ourselves to foreign or domestic companies continue to destroy what crosses his path so to achieve its economic goals.
BCS two projects are in Canadian companies: San Antonio, Pediment Gold, and Concordia, Vista Gold. Both seek to install open fields which, according to the aforementioned video, causes irreversible damage to the region and its inhabitants.
mines called "open" on the surface of the earth and the chemicals used in the search for gold pollute everything around, hurt the rational and irrational animals and poison the water.
The project seeks to exploit the La Concordia Sierra de la Laguna, enacted in 1994 by UNESCO as one of 41 biosphere reserves in Mexico. The Sierra is the main recharge area of \u200b\u200baquifers where the water comes sweeter than is consumed in La Paz and Los Cabos.
The Sierra has unique ecosystems in the world. Semarnat considered an island of vegetation in an arid environment, as is characteristic of Baja California Sur.
The experience of citizens from different parts of the country, concerned about environmental issues, it is rather bitter. When there is a project that dramatically harm a protected area, evidence is presented to the authorities, are manifestations Open to the contrary, signatures and send invites the authorities to talk, but rarely works. Imposing strong interests of a few and the Moche, too strong, dementia who pretend that the project needed to be done by any means.
For BCS is that Congress approved last November 9, the "Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection", but what do you think? They forgot to send the Executive to the enactment!
Article 70 of the Act prohibits the operation of open pit mines, the mining sector peeeeeeero when he heard this, he protested, the Act was "stopping short" as Haydee Ramirez says in his note, and is now trying to modify it to allow investments that will poison the area and frighten tourists. There
Members that a review should seek to benefit the projects, others require the executive to the enactment, as has already been approved.
argue that Canadian companies will create jobs. Environmentalists the contrary: the most important work is done by machines and there are no specialists to handle them.
BCS civil society has created a common front must be strengthened to defend their land, their rights, their lives and their children. Progress must be based on human, not the interests of a few.
