people of wadas village been suffer since then, many pros and cons have occurred in in community
groups and locals figures. There are several community and locals figures who are against and

provide severance pay to residents there and also provide jobs for residents there. The government
will also provide compensation money that has been incurred by the company. Second, with the
construction of a mining company, the infrastructure in the village is also helped by the taxes paid
by the mining company. Because it is good for the economy in the wadas village area. So that the
villagers will be helped by the taxes given by the mining company

project poses a threat of environmental damage. If that happens, it will destroy the landscape and
is no different from forcing humans to live with the destruction of ecosystems. As a result of the
project, the landscape will be damaged or become no longer beautiful. Second, the existence of
the project also results in the loss of community livelihoods. The destruction of water sources will
result in the destruction of agricultural land, and then the community will lose their livelihoods.

lose their livelihood

damage the environment but can also rebuild what has been damaged. Therefore, the government
must take responsibility for this conflictshould cancel the mine exploitation plan in Wadas or look
for other alternatives.
