CLEAN: Marcha contra proyecto minero en Peru

The Marcha Nacional del Agua traveled nearly 900 kilometers from Cajamarca to Lima, protesting against the Conga mining project by Newmont. The march, which began at Laguna Cortada, was peaceful and aimed to raise awareness about the environmental impact of mining on water sources. The protesters demand stricter regulations on existing mining operations and better economic diversification. The Conga project, with a planned investment of $4.8 billion, was suspended due to public protests fearing damage to regional water sources.
