Rosia Montana

Rosia Montana, in the Apunesi Mountains, is a region naturally rich in gold and therefore has been a very coveted area since the Roman Empire. Today, Rosia Montana Gold Corporation wishes to exploit the site in an industrial way, which implies the destruction of many villages and the resettlement of the population as well as the destruction of its heritage. The NGO Alburnus Maior, which opposes the project, has called upon GAIA-Heritage to propose an alternative solution and alert the European Union, the European Commission and Parliament, UNESCO and IUCN about this project, whose impact on the local communities and their environment does not match its output.
