This passage is so difficult to understand! (>.< !)

(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)

The situation:

Mining and smelting at that place( i don't know which one, cause i don't understand ) as there is many minerals and metals. Attracting more big companies there as it is a very lucrative industry. However that place is actually habitat for many organisms such as the reindeer and their habitat is wiped out because of all these mining and smelting. The river water around will also be affected, affecting marine organism in the river, such as the salmon. All these work can cause much pollution. When they mine, they cause much dust particles, and it also affect the health of those working there with respiratory problem.

========================================================
Conclusion:

This is again another case, whereby they care more about the lucrative business than the environment. They polluted both the land, air, and water. Also the natural beauty is destroyed due to mining. Problem become worst when more company joins in, causing much more damage to the area.



"I Hate You humans!", " Just so selfish, why can't you humans don't just live like us (grazing is all we do) ? At least repair the damage done, rather than leaving all the damages to us animals, to suffer!"
