💨 Abstract

A massive copper mining project in Arizona, contested by Native Americans who consider the area sacred, is set to move forward after the U.S. Forest Service announced a final environmental review. The project, known as Oak Flat, is located within the Tonto National Forest and is owned by Resolution Copper. The decision has been fiercely contested by Apache Stronghold, representing certain members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, who are appealing the decision in the U.S.
