Invitation to press conference: “Do we win or lose? Major environmental problems caused by mineral resource extraction in the Republic of Moldova”
Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” and Working Group No. 3 of the National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum invite media representatives to a press conference on the environmental problems of mineral extraction in the Republic of Moldova. It takes place online on Thursday, 5 November, at 14.00.
The event will be streamed on Privesc.eu, Realitatealive.md and the Facebook pages of Expert-Grup, the National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum and the Soros Foundation Moldova.
Mineral extraction carries little weight in Moldova's economy, yet the environmental problems it causes are major and their impact is often ignored. The main consequences include groundwater pollution, soil pollution, landslides and the destruction of houses and road infrastructure in mining localities. The central question is what extraction really costs the country and whether that cost is justified, given its environmental effects. The conference is held under the project “Using natural resources: improving records and transparency”, implemented by Expert-Grup with the support of the Soros Foundation Moldova.
