Resumen

Shockingly in southeastern Peru, Bolivia and probably Brasil in southamerica for decades Gold Mining has been a subject forgotten by the countries’s Ministries of Energy and Mining and Agriculture. Only oil exploration lately is receiving care of the bold governments. The officials in charge of such a big destructive or developmental activity everywhere told us that practically bare hand are facing the many forthcoming pitfalls such as loans and eternal debts economically and leishmaniasis and lung diseases for the human ecology trends. To date the only educational investment seems a big poster in Manu and Tambopata provinces localities as Colorado, Huaypetue or Puerto Maldonado that claims that the Mercury is toxic!.
