    Dongria Kondh tribe in stunning victory over mining giant

*India’s Dongria Kondh tribe has today won a stunning victory over one 
of the world’s biggest mining companies.*

In an extraordinary move, India’s Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has 
blocked Vedanta Resources’ controversial plan

to mine bauxite on the tribe’s sacred hills.

The Dongria’s struggle was featured in a Survival film, ‘Mine – Story of 
a Sacred Mountain’

watched by over 600,000 people.

Survival supporters wrote over 10,000 letters to the Environment 
Minister asking for the mining plans to be blocked.

Actor and broadcaster Michael Palin said today, ‘I’m absolutely 
delighted that the threat of destruction has been lifted from those who 
have lived for so long in the Nyamgiri hills. I hope it will send a 
signal to the big corporations that they can never assume that might is 
right. It’s a big victory for the little people.’

On behalf of the Dongria Kondh, /*thank you*/ to all our supporters – 
this is your victory too.
