STOP ANOTHER HUNGARIAN ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE IN CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF VIETNAM
Let’s protect the safety and livelihood of 14 million people living in the Central Highlands
and Dong Nai river basin of Vietnam
The Viet Ecology Foundation has launched an online petition for concerned world citizens to join
Professor Nguyen Hue Chi, the co-founder of the Bauxite Vietnam website and several thousands
of Vietnamese citizens, scholars, scientists, and environmentalists to call for the Government of
Vietnam to stop the mining projects in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
The Central Highlands of Vietnam is known to have 5.4 billion tons of bauxite reserve base or the
world’s third largest; if the extraction project is not stopped, its total caustic mud generated would
reach 90 million cubic meters. This caustic mud would be stored in reservoirs at an altitude
hundreds of meters above sea level, subjected to 2.5 meter annual rain fall, flash floods and over
14 million basin residents.
Vietnamese scholars and scientists believe the $15.6 Billion Mining Project in Central Highlands of
Vietnam is economically, technically and environmentally unsound; it does not include all social
and long term environmental costs and does not address the transportation system. In addition,
the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Gong Culture of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, the
traditional and sustainable agriculture of the Dong Nai river basin people would be gravely
endangered by this project.
