Welcome to Friends of the Earth NetherlandsGoldmine destructive to New GuineaOur sister organisation Walhi asks for our help in its campaign against the pollution caused by the Grasberg Mine on New Guinea. The waste from this copper and goldmine pollutes the entire river system. Serious damage is thus being done to the environment, with grave consequences for both humans and wildlife. The Dutch company ABP is shareholder in the mining company – Friends of the Earth Netherlands wants to increase pressure on this company through ABP. Therefore, call on ABP to demand environmentally responsible management of the mine. If results are not achieved, ABP should sell its shares in the company. Coral reefs fall victim to tin dredgersIndonesia is the number one exporter of tin to the Netherlands. Nearly all the tin that comes from Indonesia is extracted on the island of Bangka. Tin mining destroys coral reefs, causes coastline erosion and creates numerous toxic craters. The local government has refused to impose legislation. Ask the Indonesian ambassador to exert pressure on the local government, so that the island can move towards a sustainable future. Shell refuses transparency on oil leaks in NigeriaAmsterdam 24 June 2010 – Shell is refusing to give Milieudefensie (Friends of the Earth Netherlands) and three Nigerians the right to inspect key documents that would offer more insight into the circumstances surrounding oil leaks from Shell’s oil pipelines in the Niger Delta. The request for access is part of a lawsuit* brought by four Nigerian farmers and fishermen and Friends of the Earth Netherlands against the oil company, charging the company with polluting the Delta region with oil.
