Costa Rica’s rainforest is lauded as one of the most beautiful in the
world, and is home to many endangered species, including the green
macaw. Officials considered approving the gold mine, but the use of
toxic chemicals such as cyanide -- which often leaks into and pollutes
nearby lakes and rivers -- was far too great a risk to allow the project
to move forward.
A subsidiary of Infinito Gold has announced that a massive lawsuit
against Costa Rica is “imminent”, so we need to act now. If thousands of
us stand together against this toxic mine, we can show Infinito that
Costa Rica and other countries that are defending their natural
resources will not be silently bullied by corporate power.
