Will Canadian mining destroy the Amazon? Understanding Belo Sun’s threats to biodiversity loss

Brazilian Indigenous leaders, Canadian civil society representatives, and Amazon Watch will discuss the multiple threats that Belo Sun's industrial gold mining project presents to the Amazon Rainforest and its peoples.

The event will include the launch of the publication "The Risks of Investing in Belo Sun" exposing how this Canadian mining company's plans pose significant risks to investors, biodiversity and forest guardians.

As one of the areas with the greatest biodiversity on Earth, we are facing the true possibility of an ecocide in the Amazon. We need preventive action, urgently. That is why this panel aims to call for international solidarity efforts against this tragedy, which begins with a call for the complete withdrawal of Belo Sun's Volta Grande Gold project.
