1 | Mongolia: The Mining Projects Leaving Herders Without Livelihoods | Mongolia: Tsy Misy Zavamiaina Tavela Aorian'ny Fitrandrahana |
2 | Mining projects in Mongolia promise development of social and economic infrastructure and a way to alleviate poverty, but on the wayside, local communities near the mines are feeling the negative impact as their environment and traditional livelihoods are affected. | Mampanantena ny tetikasa fitrandrahana maro ao Mongolia fa hampandroso ny foto-drafitrasa ara-tsosialy sy ara-toekarana ao an-toerana ary hoentina hiadiana amin'ny fahantrana koa izany, saingy rehefa nandeha ny fotoana, dia mahatsiaro ireo vondrom-bahoaka eny amin'ny faritra akaiky ny toby fitrandrahana fa misy fiantraikany ratsy eo amin'ny tontolo iainanany sy ny fomba fivelomana mahazatra izany. |
3 | The environmental NGO CEE Bankwatch Network has been reporting on mining projects both in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, projects which have been encouraged by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. | Nanatontosa fanadihadiana mikasika ny tetikasa fitrandrahana ao Kyrgyzstan sy Mongolia ny ONG mpiaro ny tontolo iainana CEE Bankwatch Network , tetikasa notohanan'ny Banky Eoropeana ho an'ny Fananerana sy ny Fampandrosoana. |
4 | Bankwatch's concerns, voiced in ‘Rushing into gold can leave people behind, EBRD‘, are around resource depletion, particularly water, and changes in commodity prices: | Ny manahirana ny Bankwatch, voalaza ao min'ny “Ny fihazakazahana hitrandraka volamena dia mety hahatavela ny vahoaka [ho ambin-javatra], EBRD mikasika ny fahalanian'ny loharanon-karena, indrindra ny rano, sy izay mety ho fiovaovan'ny sandan'ny akora: |
5 | Whether the promised revenues will help Mongolia to develop badly needed welfare services and build an economy that can sustain the depletion of its resources or sudden changes in commodity prices is an open question however. | Tokony hanampy an'i Mongolia hampandroso ny asa sosialy sy hanavaozana ny toekarena ny lelavola nampantenaina mba ahafahana miatrika ny fahalanian'ny loharanon-karena na ny fiovaovana tampoka ny vidin'ny akora, mijanona ho fanontaniana mipetraka izany. |
6 | The dominance of the mining sector has already raised fears of a “dutch disease” or “resource curse”. | Efa niteraka tahotra “aretina holandey” na “vitan-dratsin'ny fitrandrahana” ny fanjakazakan'ny sehatra fitrandrahana. |

9 | This short video was made by CEE Bankwatch Network in eastern Europe, Urgewald from Germany, the Bank Information Center in the United States and Oyu Tolgoi Watch from Mongolia, who traveled to Mongolia to study the environmental and social impact the Ukhaa Khudag coal mine in Mongolia's south Gobi desert is already having: | Ity lahatsary fohifohy ity dia nontosain'ny tambazotra CEE Bankwatch ao Eoropa Atsinanana , Urgewald avy ao Alemana, Foiben'ny Bank Information ao Etazonia ary Oyu Tolgoi Watch ao Mongolia, izay nankany Mongolia mba hanadihady ny traika ara-tontolo iainana sy ny sosialy nateraky ny fitrandrahana saribao Ukhaa Khudag ao Mongolia : |
10 | If the previous video showed how things are starting to go with mining in Mongolia, in Kyrgyzstan they already have a long history of negative effects mining has had on the environment, health and local communities. | Raha nampiseho ny vokadratsy voalohany noho ny fitrandrahana tao Mongolia sy Kyrgyzstan ny lahatsary teo aloha, efa niantraika ratsy teo amin'ny tontolo iainana, ny fahasalamana, ary ny fiainan'ny vahoaka ny fitrandrahana. |
11 | The next video goes into the glaciar region of Kyrgyzstan and visits the areas surrounding the Kumtor open air gold mine, which has been operating for over 15 years. | Ity lahatsary manaraka ity kosa dia hitondra antsika eny amin'ny faritra mangatsiaka ao Kyrgyzstan sy hitsidika ny faritra manodidina ny toby fitrandrahana ao Kumtor, izay efa niasa tao nandritra ny 15 taona mahery. |
12 | Cyanide poisoning and water contamination is what the communities have; none of the promised development and benefits have reached them. | Fanapoizinana amin'ny “sianora” sy ny fifindran'izany amin'ny rano no nahazo ny faritra; tsy nisy ny fampandrosoana nampanantenaina sy ny tombontsoa nolazaina tamin'izy ireo. |
13 | Both the Mongolian and the Kyrgyzstan mining videos and background were written about in ‘Earth's riches, people's troubles. | Voasoratra ao amin'ny Harenan'ny tany, fahasahiranan'ny olona. Ny Toby Fitrandrahana ao Azia Afovoany ny lahatsary misy ny fitrandrahana ao Mongolia sy Kyrgyzstan : |
14 | Mining in Central Asia‘: The cases in question - the Oyu Tolgoi and Tavan Tolgoi mines in Mongolia and the Kumtor gold mine in Kyrgyzstan - are both important contributors to their country's national income and both receive (or in case of Oyu Tolgoi may soon receive) support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development(EBRD). | Toy izao izany voalaza izany - ny Toby fitrandrahana Oyu Tolgoi sy ny Tavan Tolgoi ao Mongolia ary ny Toby Fitrandrahana volamena Kumtor ao Kyrgyzstan - no toby mitondra fanampiana betsaka amin'ny fidiram-bolan'ny firenena ka nahazo fanohanana (na ny toby Oyu Tolgoi koa dia hahazo ny azy atsy ho atsy) avy amin'ny Banky Eoropeana ho amin'ny Fanavaozana sy ny Fampandrosoana. |
15 | Both, however, pose risks to the local communities that can't be compensated in monetary terms. | Na dia izany aza anefa, loza mitatao ao an-tanàna ihany izy roa ireo izay tsy afaka sandaina vola ny loza aterak'izy ireo. |
16 | These countries are not the only ones facing development with the negative impacts mining brings. | Tsy ireo firenena ireo ihany anefa no miatrika ny voka-dratsin'ny fampandrosoana noho ny toby fitrandrahana. |
17 | In nearby Tibet, villagers managed to halt a mining project being established in one of their sacred mountains. | Tanàna ao akaikin'i Tibet, nahavita nanajanona ny tetikasa fitrandrahana saika atao ao amin'ny tendrombohitra iray manan-tantara ao an-tanànany ny mponina. |
18 | The topic is controversial; how high a price can a community pay for development of their country? | Mifanipaka be ihany ny adihevitra; sandam-bola be ohatrinona no handoavan'ny olona ny fampandrosoana ny tanànany? |
19 | Vladlena Martsynkevych, Bankwatch's Central Asia Officer writes: | Vladlena Martsynkevych, tompon'andraikitra ao amin'ny Bankwatch ao Azia Afovoany nanoratra hoe: |
20 | The extractive industry can very well contribute to a country's economic development and bring desired employment and revenues. | Afaka manampy tsara ho amin'ny fampandrosoana ara-toekarena sy ho amin'ny famoronana asa ary fidiram-bola tadiavina ao amin'ny firenena ny orinasa mpitrandraka. |
21 | At the same time mining is a highly disruptive activity with considerable negative impacts on the environment and the livelihoods of local communities. | Nefa mandritra izany fotoana izany, miteraka fikorontanana tanteraka ny fitrandrahana izay misy fiantraikany ratsy eo amin'ny tontolo iainana sy ny fomba fiveloman'ny olona isam-paritra. |
22 | In countries with underdeveloped democratic structures, lack of institutional capacity or simply corruption, the damages can quickly overweigh. | Any amin'ny firenena izay mbola tratra aoriana ny rafitra demokratika, tsy ampy ny fahaiza-manao ny andrimpanjakana na manjaka ny kolikoly, dia hitombo vetivety ny fahapotehana. |
23 | Benefits can then bypass the local level and end up enriching the involved companies and - not least - the technological progress and wealth in developed nations. | Mety hisidina ambonin'ny fitsinjaram-paritra ny tombontsoa ka hivantana any amin'ny orinasa mpitrandraka - ary tsy ny kely indrindra - mampandroso ny teknika sy ny harenan'ny firenena mandroso. |
