South African mining giant Anglogold Ashanti has applied for an environmental permit for its Quebradona Project entailing a
large-scale gold and copper mine in the southwest of Colombia’s Antioquia state. The region is part of the Tropical Andes, the most densely concentrated biodiversity hotspot on the planet; should this be the case, the project threatens to destroy Southwest Antioquia’s spirit, culture, water resources, and biodiversity.
