El Salvador—Guns, Gold and Choice
In 2010 Prof. Richard Steiner, from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and the Commission on Environmental Economic and Social Policy, visited El Salvador to investigate the actions of Canadian company Pacific Rim in the region of Cabañas. His report El Salvador—Guns, Gold and Choice details the companies arrival in El Salvador, their law suit against the Salvadoran government for not granting them mining permits, and the response from civil society towards the mining project.
