CW-GP says mining is causing environmental damage
The Civil Will-Green Party delivered an urgent message about the environment to the Government on Wednesday. In the message, the CW-GP says the Orkhon River Valley, which is noted for its natural splendor and is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is being threatened by mining operations. The party says 50 gold mining companies operating in the area are contaminating it. For example, the CW-GP says, the water in the river is polluted and people and animals cannot drink it.
The CW-GP blames the Government for the situation. It says the Government has failed to enforce environmental protection laws and has failed in its fundamental duty to protect Mongolia’s natural features. The CW-GP is urging the Government to enforce a law that bans mineral exploration and exploitation in environmentally sensitive areas. The CW-GP also says the mining companies should be held accountable for the damage they are causing in the Orkhon River Valley.
