Following the suspension of the Conga project in 2011, at the request of the Peruvian central government, the environmentalimpact assessment report previously approved in 2010 was reviewed by independent experts.
The committee recommended that the Kenyan government halt the project until an Environmental and Historical Impact Assessment report is provided to UNESCO.
And the environmentalimpact does not stop there: in some countries, including the US, the report says, paper accounts for almost 40% of all municipal solid waste.
