The Cockpit Country is Jamaica's only true wilderness and a globally significant reservoir of biodiversity and cultural heritage. To open up the Cockpit Country to mining exploration would seem to signify an intention to allow mining, should bauxite reserves be found (which is highly likely given the well-known geology of the area).
The NJCA joins many other groups and individuals in urging the NRCA, NEPA and the Ministry of Local Government and Environment to say NO to prospecting or mining in the Cockpit Country and its environs. Read complete letter here. |
