By Flaviano Bianchini | Project Leader
In the past few weeks our lawyer Paz Gallardo and our director Flaviano Bianchini are visiting the city of Cerro de Pasco. This time their goal is not to take more samples or more evidences about the environmental and health situation but to collect documents to trace back who were the stakeholders of the past contamination.
The property of Cerro de Pasco mine has changed several time in the past 100 years. Every time a new owner acquire the mine they blame the previous one for the contamination in the city and n the whole area.
The goal of our last mission is just to understand who has done what and when. Creating a trace of all the stakeholders of the past 20-30 years and therefore identify the responsible of the pollution.
This is not an easy task as lot of information has been lost or hidden during this years and a lot of data has been voluntarily canceled from the books. Nevertheless, we are there in force and, as always, we are determinates to bring environmental and social justice to the people in Cerro de Pasco!
