"Our bush was really green and
healthy [before the company came] –
nowadays it is black. The company came and spoilt our environment
here. The animals are now far away –
before the company came in those animals were close."

past animals and food were plentiful. Now they have decreased
dramatically, and the water is very dirty." |
