With RRI’s support, communities in Indonesia are pressuring the Indonesian government to refuse ongoing environmental approval to the Dairi Prima Minerals proposed lead and zinc mine in North Sumatra. The communities are engaging community-based monitoring and participation in the Environmental Impact Assessment process of the mining project to build their case against the company and the government. With CBM, the team has collected data in a participatory approach and is currently preparing an analysis. Preliminary findings confirm that the communities’ concerns are valid. Media link here.
