Na Noda Uciwai Nai Vurevure Ni Noda Bula (Our River Our Life)
Fiji is renowned for the natural beauty of its oceans and beaches. But in recent years, beaches and the surrounding waters on Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu, have attracted attention from Australian mining companies for the minerals contained within their black sand. The Sigatoka River is one of the areas currently at risk of being mined for its valuable black sand.
Black sand mining involves extracting iron ore from magnetic sands. It often involves extensive dredging of the sea or river floor and can result in serious environmental impacts, including the destruction of habitats for crustaceans, snails, and corals, erosion and land subsidence, damage to mangroves, and reduction of fish stocks.
With the impacts of climate change and climate-related disasters increasing globally, preserving natural resources for community resilience has never been more important.

Bougainville: Long Han Blong Yumi (It's in our hands)
Переглядів 18 тис.5 років тому
BOUGAINVILLE: LONG HAN BLONG YUMI (IT'S IN OUR HANDS): Bougainville fought a brutal Civil War from 1989-1997 which claimed the lives of up to 20 000 people, and tens of thousands more were displaced. At the core of the conflict was the Panguna mine, a massive copper and gold mine that had serious socio-economic, environmental and cultural impacts. 20 years later, Bougainville is planning for a ...
We will one day become economically and politically independent.

As long as you own a land you are a rich man enough is enough dont try it the second time coz it will be worse than the first time..say no to mining..
Just leave them alone

Have they explored the potential of the waste acceptance industry from developed countries like Canada, USA, UK, Australia. They have a garbage disposal problem since the China ban. Now Southeast Asia is also banning and I see an opportunity for an industry to thrive. Plenty of pristine forests, rivers and beaches to dump First World waste to go to.
Keep your country Green.. Grow more tree.. Keep your country clean.. Happy country.. Happy people.pls help free West Papua.
why are black race being taken advantage of anywhere in the world? Too sad!
Sori Susa u tok strait.
Wise words at the end there. "The gold mine is in you"
Yes
@@richardmason902 - Thank you for your comment, as it reminded me of this wisdom. It's so easy to forget these things. We need to be reminded.
** Referendum in Bougainville will be firing West Papua Indigenous peoples to Fight against Colonialism of Indonesia. Viva .... Bougainville Viva.... West Papua Viva ... Melanesia
Good, forget about the mining.
Very good alternative ideas. Agriculture is the first back bone of any developed or emerging economy so first invest heavily in it by training more local farmers not by NGOs but by your own educated people agriculturists. Mining can only work for Bougainville if a good number of Bougainvillians have the skills to take key positions in the mine. The lady said well. But becoming independent is unsustainable because you will be too small to deal with the multinational campanies. You need a well trained and unified government with one common purpose to make sure the mine has adopted the new environmental code, discussing the dumping site prior to operating the mine-the company should release funds and create the dumping site first, strike a deal with a PNG government based on terms and conditions that will primarily benefit Bougainville. For example 60% of revenue to Bougainville and the rest to PNG. Ask the PNG government to take the smartest Bougainvillian graduates youth in science, chemistry, geology, and engineering to sponsor them in big overseas universities in Australia, UK and the state. Then upon coming home in a course of free to 5 years you may consider opening the mine. Have them in a committee council instruct them not to be corrupt by any means be it white favors or PNG favors teach them patriotism. God bless Bougainville God bless PNG. Beautiful people.
Bougainville is Bougainville . Not PNG. Forget the poisonous corrupt mining it has already done too much damage. 20,000 deaths are 20'000 too many.
Excellent
Excellent film. May the people of Bougainville in their long struggle for freedom gain their INDEPENDENCE in their referendum vote on June 15, 2019. In solidarity.
