Nickel mining has severely affected nature in the Moa area. Dumps and rinsing dumps characterize the area southwest of Moa. Due to the low environmental protection standards, contaminated substances have found their way into nature. The new construction of processing plants in Moa through a joint venture with the Canadian company Sherritt International is to meet more modern environmental standards. Photographing the damage to the environment with reference to industrial espionage is not permitted.
