Mariette Liefferink of the FSE was awarded a certificate of recognition in the Mining category.
“An ordinary person, who because of widespread environmental injustices and resource depletion, could not shrink back in bashfulness and timidity, in holding government and industry accountable, to answer to the calls of justice, morality and fairness within the mining industry; and to use synergetic power as opposed to coercive power to resolve conflicts between mining-affected communities and mining companies.“
