This website will provide a comprehensive database, a digital library, and interactive tools such as an encyclopedic map that will help document activities related to gold mining and its impacts on the environment and local communities. The website will also offer a wide range of content including videos, podcasts, research studies, and special reports on the role of the mining sector in exacerbating social conflicts and its impacts on human rights, peaceful coexistence, and overall peacebuilding processes.
This website will create a digital archive to preserve documentation and a database to collect and facilitate access to data, images, audio and video recordings, research, studies, all publications, as well as related orders, decisions, and laws, in addition to all activities of the mining sector and host communities, according to a series of documentation, classification, and preservation processes, and using a suite of presentation and publication methods.
This platform is an open and interactive space for all stakeholders, including researchers, academic institutions, human rights organizations, mining companies, industry professionals, government agencies, and affected local communities, to access essential information and participate in raising awareness about the importance of responsible mining. We will also provide dedicated services to interact with the public, such as answering inquiries and providing support related to mining activities.
