do we know what the land-ownership situation is in the area? after reading the NR, i assumed we were dealing with a large number of small farms (owner or on long leases) producing a mixture of market and subsistence products. in that case, i would think whether the mine takes 20% or 100% of the area is irrelevant, people won't want the principle of expropriation/selling out introduced, as they'll see it as the thin end of the wedge. mines can last 20 or 50 years; farming is forever.

and as for flush toilets, well: in most parts of the world, these do more harm than good, both in terms of water conservation, and of pollution.

still, i may be way off beam: can anyone point me to a good sociological study of tambogrande?!
