'Viewpoints of the Great Carajas Project\r'

'The main two types of quite a little problematic in the Great Carajas Project argon the CVRD ( A company which owned taps) and the Garimperos.\r\nGarimperos are the sinful miners or free lance miners. They mine for sumptuous and are forbidden to mine in the Carajas area. The Garimperos pass from all over Brazil and usually mine for meretricious. They are annoyed with the government because they feel that they expect the right to mine in the area as well. If a Garimpero is caught mining where they shouldnt be, security guards will endure them down and confiscate their gold.\r\nIn Serra Pelada 80,000 Garimperos invaded a Gold mine and took it over. They were extracting around $200 million each year scarcely although they were making good money, they are alter the environment and working in a really unsafe manor. They are using mercury to scatter the gold and this mercury was then getting into rivers and filthy/poisoning them and various food chains. They also open fi re the mercury which gave off toxic gas and the sanctuary in the mining pits was appalling; there were fixing rock falls and some miners are killed.\r\nIn January 1986, Riot police were ordered into the mines to force the Garimperos out. A miner was killed by accident when a policeman intended to shoot a bullet in the air provided shot too in short and killed the miner. Soon after, the mine was shut down but the company re-opened it and increased safety levels by using bulldozers.\r\nThe CVRD were confident that they would make lots of money and they were actually strict about the area; check posts were set apart up to ensure that only people involved with the mines/CVRD were allowed to acquaint and all cars were searched, only allowing people to enter who had a permit.\r\nThe government were in control of the projection and showed interest because of the investment being made. The project had an one-year income of $700 million. The company are licensed to run the project, inappropriate the Garimperos.\r\nThe companies are looked upon as being sufficient but inhumane and the Garimperos are seen as trying to baulk for themselves but obliviously harming the environment and putting their own lives in danger.\r\nLocal tribes who live in the forest called Amerindians are impinge ond out of their settlements so that the CVRD can carry the mining areas. The CVRD destroy their living area and when the Amerindians following settle they are still weary of having to move again.\r\nIn My opinion I think that some(prenominal) Garimperos and the CVRD should be allowed to mine there. They should compromise as to who gets what belt down so that everyone is happy. I think that if this did happen the government would have to do some serious opinion into safety regulations and the damaging of the environment.\r\n'
