Gold and diamonds fail to shine as drivers of Amazon development
Gold and diamond mining in the Brazilian Amazon don’t contribute to sustained improvements in the economy, health and education, among other development parameters, a new study shows.
The study compared these parameters in 73 Amazonian municipalities where mining takes place, against others in the region without mining.
It found that any improvements were brief, lasting no more than five years, while the adverse environmental impacts lingered for up to seven years.
The researchers, from the Instituto Escolhas, plan to hone their methodology by including other parameters, such as tax incentives for miners, which they predict will show that the industry is also a drain on public coffers.
