I am not sure if the ones who are opposing this, those who are affected by it and those who stand in solidarity with them have chosen the right weapons. Quiteobviously petitions and pleas dont really help against those people. Its about as effective as Grace asking Selfridge to please not bomb hometree - you cannot argue with these people, they are resistant to pleas and nice words. Especially if they cannot act from a free will but have to follow the will of lobbyists or economics. I guess the only way to stop them is a mass movement within the country, that has enough potential to topple the government. Like that is going to happen

So what are we doing? Standing by and watch as the world burns and indigenous people die. This goes to my heart and I feel helpless here. There has to be some way to put an end to this...

Yes, this is very sad as well. Same area where they want to build all these salmon fish farms (each puts out as much waste as a city of 100.000 people) and shoot the sea lions to prevent them from snacking on the fish.
BTW, the north of chile - the mining industry there - one of the major near future developments there is the mining of Lithium. This is needed for batteries mostly - in computers, cellphones, electric cars. An exploding industry that cannot have enough of this.
