The Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation is pushing the Federal government to protect heritage sites from Fortescue’s (FMG) Solomon mining project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
They say the sacred sites and heritage areas which date back thousands of years are being destroyed by the mining. The Australian Greens have also written to the Environment Minister, asking for an urgent response to the application which calls for emergency protection. But not everyone in the region is against the project, with one part of the Yinjibarndi Corporation holding a land access agreement with FMG.
