Actividad de evaluación: Escribe EN INGLÉS un párrafo de 10 renglones
donde hables de alguna situación de minería que afecte tu país, describe el
lugar y el daño que causa la minería en el medio ambiente.

R/= Illegal mining is causing devastating effects in the Amazon due to the
presence of dredgers, boats and other equipment used for gold extraction
that destroy forests, as well as the indiscriminate use of mercury that
damages the health of local populations, mainly indigenous and affects
rivers and fish.

What is happening in the Amazon resembles an epidemic as the hunger for

valuable minerals is everywhere.

In Colombia, the area most affected by mercury is the Caquetá river basin.
In this country, a study by the National Institute of Health of Colombia on the
Apaporis River revealed that up to 80% of the indigenous populations of this
region are contaminated by mercury.
