Mines and Communities

[czech]

The Mines and Communities (MAC) website exposes the social, economic, and environmental impacts of mining, particularly as they affect Indigenous and land-based peoples. Global in scope, the site was set up in 2001 by organisations and individuals from seven different countries who met in London to demand far greater accountability and transparency on the part of the minerals' industry.

There are dozens of organisations concerned about mineral extraction and processing; they provide much valuable information. The main difference between most of these and the MAC network is our commitment to respond directly to the needs of mining-affected communities (including workers bodies), and ensure that these reach the widest possible audience.

Still a very valuable resource, although no new articles since 2022:

Welcome Mines and Communities

Mines and Communities is now an archive site, after the sad death of its chief editor, Roger Moody in 2022. Mines and Communities was active from 2001 to 2022 in publishing articles on the detriment of mining. Those articles are still available here although no new articles will be added.


This website is a data base of around 14,000 articles covering 1856 mining companies with operations in 171 countries concerning 82 minerals and metals, published by a unique network of indigenous and solidarity NGOs, representing many thousands of people directly affected by the mining industry.

This site also has the Partizans archive and you can read more about the history of Partizans and associated organisations.

MAC was launched in 2001, and its priorities were governed by an editorial board, under our foundation statement, the London Declaration. We provide communities, NGOs, activists, the media - and the general public - with information about many aspects of global mining and its impacts.
