Chile rejects $2.5bn iron and copper mine planned near penguin reserve

Chile’s government has rejected a controversial $2.5bn iron and copper mining project proposed in an important area for biodiversity and marine life.
The Dominga project, 70km north of the city of La Serena, would have seen an open-pit mine, processing and desalination plants, as well as a large port, installed just 30km from a famed Humboldt penguin reserve.
“Unanimously, the ministerial committee decided to accept the 12 objections raised, [and] as such, is left with an unfavorable impression of the Dominga mine and port project,” announced Chile’s environment minister, Maisa Rojas, on Wednesday.

    You shouldn't send climate love to Pinera for this. He was the one pushing for the Dominga project to happen in the first place. This is the current government that has decided to stop the mining project.

        It's impeccable for the Chilean govt to choose to shield its biodiversity over profits that could be yielded form the purported mining activity.
