Al Jazeera coverage of mining in Guatemala

I was excited to discover today that Al Jazeera has begun to report on the mining situation in the area where I grew up in Guatemala. This video news story is brief, but it's about the stuff I have been researching and documenting over the past couple of years. It's great to see increased attention not just on the Marlin Mine, but on the destructive side-effects of metals mining in general.

I hope this is just the beginning of mainstream international coverage. And may creative, compassionate people find more just and equitable ways to do 'development' wherever the local indigenous populations are at risk.
