Crucitas Project a Fight for the Environment and Human Rights

This is a controversial topic, since many months ago, Crucitas has been a theme that arouses in population different opinions, and Crucitas has been a very discussed topic, different professional say their point of view.

This ambitious project have a lot of disadvantages for the environment, the wild life and for the people who live near the zone; this project is located near the San Juan River and the border with Nicaragua, what the project pretends to be open a open sky mine (mina a cielo abierto) for search and subtract the gold and others components, this plan pretends deforest or cut down the trees to make this mine.

This is bad because this deforestation destroys the environment and the chemical substances they use pollute the water.

The people who live near to the zone has been injure because the pure water has been polluted. Different people all over the country are against this project; some groups of human rights defend the people of the zone, and they opened a Facebook page for inform the people and for search the support for get down this project. In past days, some people who fight for the human rights and people who are against of this do a strike in front of the president house. Some of people do fasting for a couple of days. And actually this project is on trial.

In my opinion, I’m against of this because we have to appreciate the most precious liquid that is the water, the environment and human life, let’s go to support this initiative to stop this ambition project.
