Abstract

In a recent article in the Philippine newspaper, the SunStar, a journalist embroiled in the country’s current debate about the viability of mining, strikes at the discord of what constitutes ‘sustainable extraction’:

Is ecotourism compatible with mining? Several Philippine anti-mining advocacy groups have given me the impression that mining is incompatible with eco-tourism. Instead of inviting mining conglomerates to devastate our natural resources, we could instead grab the natural beauty of the Philippines to attract eco-tourists and stimulate the local economy.
