Urgent need to address pollution caused to Metepona River

There is an urgent need to address the pollution caused to Metepona River on North Guadalcanal by the mine operations at Gold Ridge on Central Guadalcanal.
North Guadalcanal Chief, Benedict Garimane said the new Government, formed after the November 19 National Elections, a new Gold Ridge Investor, the Kolobisi Landowners Association, and the Guadalcanal Provincial Government should seriously address the dangerous impacts on Metepona River and the villagers.

He said the villagers depend on the river for washing, cooking their meals and protein.
