El Salvador – first nation to ban on metal mining
El Salvador has made history after becoming the first country in the world to ban metal mining.
Key facts:
El Salvador is the most densely populated country in Latin America.
In this country, rainfall is plentiful; holding on to the water is a major issue because of unsustainable farming practices and inadequate industrial controls that have led to widespread soil erosion and the almost total destruction of its forests.
More than 90% of El Salvador’s surface waters are estimated to be polluted by toxic chemicals, heavy metals and waste matter.
The water crisis has steadily deepened since the pro-business Arena Party granted an array of permits for mineral exploration.
