Before the break out of a severe financial crisis in 2015, Greece has reassessed it’s mining relations, converting into an investor-friendly territory with loose regulations, neglecting the local environment and people. As a fore- front case stands the biologically diverse Halkidiki Region, currently being developed into a high grade gold-copper mining area. These proceedings expose the “disaster capitalism” nature of our times, with its existing exploitative power relations, disturbing areas in unpredictable and irreversible ways.
This project is a follow up of the project in Brazil.
