The uncontrolled gold mining industry in Mongolia since 1992 has led to widespread environmental destruction and health issues for local communities. Over 130 mining sites across 18 provinces have contaminated land and water sources with cyanide and mercury. As many as 35% of rivers and streams have dried up due to mining activities. Local residents near mine sites have experienced high rates of illness, death, and birth defects. Meanwhile, a small number of political and business elites have profited greatly from the country's gold wealth while most Mongolians remain in poverty. The document calls on readers to support letters urging the Mongolian government to better regulate mining and protect human rights.
