Ecologists and residents of the Black Sea
district of Fatsa have begun standing guard around the clock to prevent
a company from following through on plans to use cyanide in gold
extraction on a 10-hectare forested area.
“Our battle is not for
our own personal benefit, but an act of resistance against a massacre
against nature,” said Yusuf Ertopçu, an environmentalist helping to keep
guard at the tent locals have erected in Fatsa’s Yukarı Bahçeler
neighborhood.
