Registration for Gilded or Green: How Gold Impacts the Amazon & Why We Should Care
Join the Amazon Aid Foundation and the Sabin Center for Environment and Sustainability on October 24 from 3-5pm for Gilded or Green: How Gold Impacts the Amazon and Why We Should Care. The impact of gold mining on the Amazon rainforest is immense and complex: local and global demand for gold intersect with humanitarian and environmental crises. Substantive and transformational change of the global gold supply chain is non-negotiable. By building relationships between seemingly unlikely partners while committing to appreciating nuance and practicing empathy, we bridge the gap between understanding and action. In this panel, part of a new network-building initiative called Amazon Gold Working Group, we will explore perspectives – from lived experience to informed areas of study - to carve a path toward cleaner gold and an Amazon free of destructive mining.

The panel will be moderated by Wake Forest Journalism Professor Justin Catanoso. Panelists include:

  • Gina D’Amato, Executive Director, Alliance for Responsible Mining 
  • Jupta Itoewaki, Indigenous Rights Activist, Mulokot Foundation
  • Miles Silman, Andrew Sabin Family Foundation Professor of Conservation Biology; Founding Director, Andrew Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability at Wake Forest University
