Legal aspects of globalized mining
The document outlines a plan to address the legal frameworks around destructive globalized mining through several actions:
1) Conducting research on domestic and international mining laws to create a center challenging destructive mining.
2) Pursuing international legal remedies like human rights committees when indigenous people are involved.
3) Pushing for legal accountability of transnational mining companies.
4) Coordinating legal suits in domestic, regional, and international courts while keeping precedents in mind.
5) Protecting human rights defenders through conferences, strategies, and training more lawyers.
Unraveling Global Corporate Mining Today: Challenges to Mining Campaigners
The document discusses new challenges facing mining campaigners, including industry strategies and new organizations. It notes growing literature around the "resource curse" and increasing human rights abuses by mining company security. While the industry promotes mining for development, the document argues it can instead create long-term development deficits. It provides examples like the John Ruggie case with Barrick Gold and the 2014 mining disaster in Canada to show that branding and being in a developed country do not change negative realities.
Report of the workshop on gendered impacts of mining on women
Women human rights defenders have strong connections to their lands, which are threatened by environmental damage from extractive industries like mining. As land and livelihoods are lost, women's workloads increase as they struggle to provide for their families. Many women have taken on leadership roles defending their communities against mining, but face increased risks like violence, criminalization, and smear campaigns. Networks are organizing global solidarity actions for women defenders and their resistance to extractive projects that violate human and indigenous rights.
What is happening to our forests in Southeast Asia? - Synthesis
The document discusses common issues related to extractivism in several countries:
1) Governments are dependent on extractive activities like mining, dams, and plantations for funds, supporting these projects through policies and laws that manage resistance and allow environmental damage.
2) Local people and the environment often suffer long-term social and ecological impacts from extractive projects, while communities are blamed for environmental destruction and resisting "development".
3) Affected groups face violence, intimidation, and legal repression from governments, companies, and other actors colluding to advance extractive agendas.
4) However, some communities are taking charge of their own resistance, advocacy, restoration work, and movement building to reverse

property rights
This document discusses property rights and different property regimes for managing natural resources. It defines four types of property: private, state, common, and open access. Private property relies on voluntary exchange and defined individual ownership rights. State property is managed by the government for public use. Common property is owned collectively by a group with shared norms and rules for sustainable use. Open access resources have no defined ownership rights, leading to overexploitation without management systems. The document also examines alternative resource management approaches like privatization, public management, and collective action, outlining conditions where each may be suitable.
Presentation1
The International Whaling Commission (IWC) was established in 1946 by 15 nations to regulate whaling. In the 1950s, the IWC expanded its definition of whaling vessels to include aircraft. Whaling became a global concern in the late 19th century as the industry became mechanized and used floating factories to rapidly process whales. Although whaling helped drive several whale species to near extinction, some nations like Norway and Japan have opposed worldwide whaling bans adopted by the IWC in the 1980s and argue for resuming commercial whaling under sustainable quotas. The IWC has been both praised as a model for international environmental cooperation and criticized by pro-whaling nations that see it as dominated by an anti-whaling Western
What is happening to our forests in Malaysia?
This document summarizes the threats faced by indigenous communities in Sarawak, Malaysia from various development projects since the 1970s, including logging, dams, plantations, and mining. These have resulted in loss of lands, forests, resources and cultural heritage for communities. In response, communities have organized at local and national levels, held protests, filed lawsuits, and lobbied internationally. While some legal and policy developments have been positive, communities continue facing challenges from state development plans and repressive laws. Moving forward, maintaining communication networks, promoting community-based conservation and development, and providing skills training will be important for communities.

Alternative Development
This document discusses alternative development and the role of civil society organizations in promoting it. Alternative development aims to prevent illicit drug cultivation through rural development programs. It began with simple crop substitution but now takes a more nuanced approach. Successful programs follow models like SALD which involve preparation, implementation, and eventual exit from communities. Alternative development faces challenges including lack of infrastructure, security issues, and need for long-term commitment. The document calls for stronger civil society involvement in oversight, monitoring, and ensuring commitment to alternative development programs over the long term.
Equity and Transparency in the New Province of Humanity
This document summarizes Valnora Leister's presentation on ensuring equity and transparency in outer space activities. Leister argues that leading space powers prioritize national military and economic aims over benefiting humanity. She outlines four paths to expand global participation in space: 1) engage civil society, 2) work with emerging space powers, 3) apply principles of international environmental law, and 4) use new governance concepts like "economic governance" and "charter cities" to ensure equity and transparency in shared space resources. Leister concludes that developing a "Universal Law of Humanity" could help realize outer space as the "New Province of Mankind" by replacing the current system based on state supremacy.
Practical aspects of implementing FMNR
This document discusses practical aspects of implementing Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) in Kenya. It describes using a bottom-up approach, starting by engaging stakeholders like community leaders, government officials, and NGOs. Extension agents are then identified and trained within the community to teach other farmers. These farmer-to-farmer demonstrations and training sessions spread awareness of FMNR. Policymakers are also engaged through forums to advocate for and integrate FMNR into management plans. Key factors for success include community education, learning sites on individual farms, secure land tenure, and connecting FMNR to livelihoods. Lessons learned emphasize the importance of building local champions, existing community structures, and capacity building on alternative livelihoods

Improving Governance of Pastoral Lands
This document provides guidance on improving governance of pastoral lands. It discusses how pastoralism is an adaptation to variable and scarce resources, relying on mobility, community access and traditional systems. Strengthening governance is important given challenges of declining resources, population growth and climate change. Key recommendations include recognizing pastoralist knowledge and customary systems, strengthening local organizations, avoiding and managing conflicts, inclusive participation, and integrated land use planning. The guidance is intended to support sustainable pastoralism, rural development, social sustainability, self-determination and environmental protection.
Territorial use rights
This document discusses territorial use rights in fishing (TURFs). It defines TURFs as community-held rights to exclude others and determine usage of fishery resources within a specific area. TURFs can generate benefits by excluding outsiders, controlling effort, dealing with externalities, and providing incentives to invest in and avoid overfishing local stocks. They also improve welfare by increasing local employment, income, and preserving social organization. Traditionally, TURFs have long been used by indigenous groups but many are now threatened. The document evaluates TURFs based on their potential to efficiently generate benefits and equitably distribute them within communities.

Conflicting land use intro
Conflicting land-use pressures often arise on coastlines between conservation and commercial uses like tourism, industry, and housing. There are many stakeholder groups that have interests in coastal areas, including local residents, environmental groups, developers, and different levels of government. Competition for coastal land uses between urbanization, tourism, fisheries, aquaculture, and industry frequently results in conflicts over time. Coastal stakeholders are individuals or groups impacted by coastal development or management, and managing these conflicts effectively requires adequate laws and enforcement.

Andy Whitmore - Presentation for the 2015 IPCM
This document summarizes current global trends in the mining industry. It notes that the industry is currently experiencing a downturn due to falling commodity prices. The top mining companies are experiencing major losses and cuts to production. Exploration spending has shifted to new "commodity frontiers" in countries like Mongolia and Mauritania. While mining makes small contributions to national economies, social conflicts around mining are increasing. The document predicts more cuts to mining jobs and costs during the current slump and calls for communities to prolong the slump through pressure on consumers.
IBon on Mining Plunder
1) The document discusses how mining firms and investors profit from resource exploitation in the Philippines at the expense of local communities and the environment.
2) It notes that mining has negatively impacted public health, livelihoods, and the environment in local communities through human rights violations and environmental damage.
3) Meanwhile, advanced industrial economies benefit from downstream linkages in manufacturing, utilities, and the military that use minerals as essential inputs in various industries.
Keynote Address - Carol Araullo
This document summarizes key issues in the global mining industry as presented at the International People's Mining Conference in 2015, including several incidents that resulted in deaths of miners from mine collapses or police violence against striking workers. It also highlights environmental and human rights issues linked to mining operations, such as cancer cases due to mountaintop removal mining, conflicts between mining companies and indigenous communities, and the expansion of mining concessions in developing countries through neoliberal policies.

Establishing Community-based Scientific Tools to Investigate Corporate Mining...
The document summarizes discussions from a two-day workshop establishing community-based scientific tools to investigate corporate mining accountability in the Philippines. Participants shared experiences of environmental and health impacts from gold and copper mining operations in two provinces. Experts presented on characterizing ore bodies and mining pollution, managing operational risks, and the impacts of mining pollutants on communities. The workshops concluded with a need to strengthen community monitoring of environmental contamination through citizen science and training locals in scientific methods and tools.
Environmental Investigation Missions - The Philippine Experience
The document discusses Environmental Investigation Missions (EIMs) in the Philippines as a participatory and scientific process for investigating the impacts of corporate mining. An EIM involves a multidisciplinary team integrating community knowledge with scientific expertise to examine biophysical, social, economic, and political effects. The methodology includes parameters for water, soil, and socioeconomic testing. EIMs have found pollution issues at nickel, tailings dam, and gold mines affecting water quality, soil contamination, and community health and livelihoods. While EIMs provide accountability, limitations include potential inaccuracies, lack of baseline data, and budget constraints.
Indigenous People and Mining in Canada
This document discusses indigenous people and mining in Canada. It provides background on the different indigenous groups in Canada and North America, including Inuit, First Nations, and Metis peoples. It then focuses on the Inuit context, describing the five operating mines and over 20 exploration sites in Inuit homelands. It discusses both the positive impacts of mining, such as employment and income, and the challenges, including issues related to employment, family, addictions, and violence against women. Finally, it outlines some of the strategies used by mining companies, indigenous governments, and communities, and highlights both ongoing challenges for indigenous peoples and some key successes in environmental assessments and agreements.
Mining Site Remediation
The document summarizes the negative environmental impacts of mining operations by the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Corporation in Mankayan, Benguet, Philippines over several decades. Tailings dam failures in the 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s resulted in massive tailings spills that contaminated surrounding agricultural lands with heavy metals like copper. Rice production in affected areas declined significantly due to high levels of copper in the soil. The study evaluated applying rice straw compost to contaminated paddy fields to remediate the soil and restore productivity. Preliminary results found that 16% compost application reduced soil copper levels and increased rice yields compared to untreated fields.
Regional Mining Situation in Africa
The document discusses mining in Africa, including:
1) The Africa Mining Vision which aims to prudently manage mineral resources through nine program clusters dealing with issues like governance and the environment.
2) Many large multinational mining companies from countries like Canada, UK, Brazil, and China operate in Africa, exploiting minerals such as gold, platinum, diamonds, and coal.
3) Mining has significant impacts on local communities through displacement, pollution, and social issues but also provides some benefits. People have organized in resistance through groups like the Alternative Mining Indaba.
Community Environmental Monitoring
The document discusses community environmental monitoring during different stages of the mining life cycle. It provides details on the potential environmental impacts of exploration, construction, operation, and closure/rehabilitation. Specifically, it describes how early exploration involves low-impact activities like mapping and sampling but can progress to trenching and drilling, which can cause landscape scarring and erosion. Drilling involves toxic mud and cuttings that risk contaminating rivers if not properly contained. Large-scale open pit mining transforms landscapes and disrupts drainage, while waste rock dumps and tailings dams can generate acid mine drainage that pollutes surface and groundwater for decades.

This document summarizes research on mining conflicts and environmental justice outcomes. The researchers conducted a statistical analysis of 346 mining conflicts around the world to identify patterns. Key findings include:
1) Environmental justice is more likely to be served when resistance is preventative, conflicts are less intense, and projects are ultimately stopped.
2) Conflicts tend to be more intense when they involve immediate potential health, socioeconomic or environmental impacts, or impact excluded groups.
3) Disruptive projects are more likely to be stopped when resistance is preventative or involves health impacts, low-income regions, or negative resolution pathways.
The researchers mapped networks of mining companies and environmental justice groups to analyze interconnectivity. They assessed
Mining and Conflict in Mindanao
This document discusses the issues around mining and conflict in Mindanao, Philippines. It begins by providing background on Mindanao and describing it as a "Land of Promise" with natural beauty. However, it has also become a militarized and plundered land due to large-scale logging, agri-business plantations, and mining operations run by transnational corporations. These extractive activities have displaced people from their lands and livelihoods and caused environmental degradation. The document outlines various mining projects and the associated conflicts, including resistance from people defending their rights and environment.

Mining Environmental Management - 2006
This document discusses issues around sustainable development in the mining industry. It covers the following key points:
1) There is debate around how much mining companies contribute to sustainable development in poor countries. Critics say they do not do enough to reduce poverty and promote sustainability, while supporters argue they provide important infrastructure.
2) Both mining companies and humanitarian organizations have had limited success in reducing poverty and improving living conditions. They should work together more to achieve development goals.
3) Sustainable development presents challenges and opportunities for mining companies. They must decide whether to operate sustainably or risk destroying value by ignoring environmental and social issues. Their approach could help or hinder development in host countries.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
