Is bauxite mining responsible for the deforestation of large areas?
Bauxite mining is carried out in various regions in the world. Every year the activity uses some 500 km² of land, worldwide. In addition to being small compared with other economic activities that use land, it must be borne in mind that bauxite mining requires only temporary use of the land; after it has been rehabilitated, i.e. reforested, the area is returned to society. In Juruti things will be no different.
