萨尔瓦多解除了对金属采矿的禁令,引发了经济希望和环境关切。 El Salvador lifts ban on metals mining, sparking economic hopes and environmental concerns.
尽管环境主义者和罗马天主教会反对,萨尔瓦多国会还是批准了一项法律,结束了对金属采矿的七年禁令。 El Salvador's Congress has approved a law ending a seven-year ban on metals mining, despite opposition from environmentalists and the Roman Catholic Church. 根据Nayib Bukele总统的提议,该立法允许除自然保护区和敏感地区以外的全国各地采矿活动,禁止金矿开采中的有毒汞,并要求与政府合资经营。 Proposed by President Nayib Bukele, the legislation allows mining across the country except in nature reserves and sensitive areas, bans toxic mercury in gold mining, and requires joint ventures with the government. Bukele认为这可以释放巨大的经济潜力, 黄金储备价值为3万亿美元, 尽管批评者警告环境风险。 Bukele argues it could unlock significant economic potential, with gold reserves valued at $3 trillion, though critics warn of environmental risks.
