An environmental disaster is brewing in Vareš! The lead, zinc, and barite mine, opened last year by the British company Adriatic Metals, is changing hands – a Canadian company is taking over with plans to ramp up production. Environmental activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina are sounding the alarm: this mine expansion could seriously threaten biodiversity and the water supply for local residents. What matters more – profit or the health of people and nature? The mine has already raised concerns over potential environmental damage, and now the situation is escalating. The Canadian company’s plan to increase production means more mining and even greater pressure on the environment. Ecologists warn this could lead to water pollution and destruction of natural habitats. This is not just a local issue – biodiversity is crucial for the health of the entire planet, and water is the basic resource without which life cannot exist. Will authorities step in to stop this ecological risk, or will they allow nature to be sacrificed for profit? Stay tuned for updates and join the conversation – what do you think about this mining madness? Is this the price of development or an ecological crime?
