Özet:
Each year, approximately 10 million people are affected by large scale development projects worldwide. These projects include industrial mining projects arguably meant to bring both national and local development. For example, in 2009, more than 55% of the US$890 million in foreign direct investment to Mozambique went to the natural resource extractive sector, primarily to begin development of coal deposits in the northwest province, Tete. Soon after the discovery of these deposits, some of the largest recent discoveries in the world, international extractive firms bid on mining concessions in which to build open pit coal mines. Two firms received adjacent coal concessions and began construction of the mine infrastructure - a massive endeavor requiring significant swaths of land. Both projects required the resettlement of thousands of people and created strains on resources required to sustain the livelihoods of the residents--Provided by publisher.
