Cerro de Pasco, Profunda Sepultura

Overview

The city of Cerro de Pasco, with approximately 80,000 inhabitants, is being steadily encroached upon by mining, which has generated a series of socio-environmental impacts. The Volcan mining company seeks to expand its operations, which will require displacing an old part of the city, at the cost of destroying historical monuments and thus damaging local identity.
