“Someone Else’s Treasure”

http://praxispictures.blogspot.com/

The Philippines has one of the largest mineral resources in the world. But, for local communities, the record of large scale mining is nothing short of disastrous.

People who were already marginalized and living in poverty to begin with are losing what they most treasure – their families are being torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, ecosystems ruined, and ancient indigenous cultures are being eroded.

Focusing on Canadin companies, “Someone Else’s Treasure” explores the social and environmental impacts of large scale mining on the people of the Philippines.
