30 of the main rivers in southern Venezuela are affected by mining

Alejandro Álvarez Iragorri, biologist, environmentalist and coordinator of Climate 21, said: “Thirty of the main rivers in southern Venezuela are affected. We must remember that more than 80% of Venezuela's fresh water is from the Orinoco downwards, so we are losing an enormous capacity and potential that the country has."

"We are very concerned because such important rivers as the Caroní, the Caura, the Ventuari, already have strong signs of environmental damage in them," he said.

Likewise, he said that part of this environmental damage has to do with the deforestation process that is generating an increase in the amount of sediment carried by those rivers due to mercury contamination.

“Part of that sedimentation ends up in the Guri reservoir,” he indicated.
