Infinito Gold: Stop Suing Costa Rica For Saving Its Rainforest!

Infinito Gold is a Canadian company.

Costa Rica refused to let a mining company destroy its rainforest to build an open-pit gold mine — so Infinito Gold is suing the country for $1 billion.

Costa Rica's rainforest is one of the most beautiful in the world, home to endangered animals like jaguars and green macaws. Locals had no intention of letting toxins like cyanide destroy that land or leach into their lakes and rivers — but we don't stand with them, more countries will end up bullied and bankrupted by these corporate behemoths.

This rainforest holds five percent of the entire world's species, and help keep the country's ecotourism-fueled economy growing. Stand with Costa Rica, expose Infinito Gold's underhanded tactics, and get the company to drop this lawsuit now!
