Did You Know?

More than 30,000 people were displaced by one gold mine's operations in the Tarkwa district of Ghana between 1990 and 1998.

 

A single gold mine in Papua New Guinea generates 200,000 tons of waste a day-more than all the cities in Japan, Canada and Australia combined.

 

Half the gold produced worldwide comes from indigenous peoples' lands.
