Wildlife trafficking and illegal logging facilitate instability in a country.
This imbalance of power has resulted in over a century of ongoing toxic mines, scarring our landscape and poisoning our communities.
We cannot have meaningful tribal consultations as long as the mining industry has the automatic right to mine wherever they stake a claim.
To merely open the floodgates to the use of our public lands without any protections, due process, community involvement... is going back to a time that got us into this situation.
