We protect mother earth and her elements for future generations.
We strengthen community-based efforts to protect the environment and human health from the negative impacts of mining.
We work directly with communities affected by hard rock mining, the majority of whom are Indigenous or small, rural, poor communities.
WMAN's strength is our commitment to cross-cultural coalition-building. Our Indigenous and non-Indigenous collaboration is a successful model for moving towards a just and sustainable society. Together, we work to ensure that climate change solutions and the transition from fossil fuels do not exacerbate existing, or create new environmental degradation and social inequities.
