  • The human cost of mining in the Amazon rainforest

    The Amazon rainforest is one of the most contested spaces for mining in the world, and the impacts of both legal and illegal operations can be devastating for the environment and the indigenous groups that call it home. GlobalData’s mining writer JP Casey looks at the state of mining in the Amazon Rainforest, and asks whether anyone is doing it sustainably.

    Casey says: “Covering over two million square miles, containing nearly 400 billion trees, and home to around 20 million indigenous people, the Amazon rainforest is one of the world’s most unique areas of biological diversity and human life. The region is also home to considerable mineral reserves, notably copper and gold, making it an attractive prospect for eager mining companies.

    “Historically, the governments of South America have been careful to balance the demands of the mining industry with the needs of indigenous people and local flora and fauna, but the political climate is shifting. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is infamously supportive of mining and industrial expansion into the rainforest. The president’s provocative language has encouraged many of the country’s illegal miners to expand and intensify their operations, believing his election and subsequent rhetoric to have effectively legitimised a number of their operations; In September this year, 250 illegal miners blockaded a road, demanding a government official formally recognise their mines.”
