美国最高法院拒绝阻止在亚利桑那州的阿帕奇圣地进行铜矿开采项目。 The US Supreme Court has refused to block a copper mining project on sacred Apache land in Arizona. 法院维持了下级裁决,允许溶铜公司接管名为Oak Flat的Tonto国家森林土地,以开采它声称为全球第二大铜矿藏的矿藏。 The court upheld lower rulings allowing Resolution Copper to take over Tonto National Forest land, known as Oak Flat, for mining what it claims is the second-largest copper deposit globally. 该项目在特朗普政府的支持下,预计将每年产生10亿美元,创造数千个就业机会。 The project, supported by the Trump administration, is predicted to generate $1 billion annually and create thousands of jobs. 然而,阿帕奇部落认为Oak Flat对于他们的精神实践至关重要。 However, Apache tribes consider Oak Flat essential to their spiritual practices. 尽管作出了这一决定,San Carlos Apache部落仍誓言继续与该项目作斗争。 Despite the decision, the San Carlos Apache Tribe vows to continue fighting the project.
