Panguna Mine is located in the Autonomous Regioon of Bougainville in Papua New Guiinea, which was one of the world's largest copper Mine in the world. The Mine significantly impacted the local environment, leading to dispute over land use, environmental degradation, and the distribution of wealth.
The underlying issues contributed to the Bougainville conflict, which began in the 1980s.
Since it's closer in 1989, thirty-six years later, it had become a ghost mining, leaving all scars of scrap metals and poluted chemicals to the environment left behind. Sadly, locals have to survive and live their lives on the land because no matter what happened to their land, this is where they call home.
