Argentine Glacier Wars: Communities Block Barrick’s Veladero & Pascua Lama Projects
San Juan Argentina – February 26, 2011. For nearly two days, community groups and environmental activists blocked entry to Barrick’s Veladero and Pascua Lama in San Juan Argentina, claiming Barrick is destroying glaciers and pressuring the government not to comply with the newly enacted Glacier Protection Law. All of Barrick’s trucks coming into the mine sites were effectively blocked, during the 48 hour protest.
