Our knowledge commons include emblematic cases, position papers, community organising guides and reports that will help you better understand how the mining industry works, its impacts and the strategies others have employed to successfully resist unwanted mining projects. Many of resources have been produced by YLNM members and allies. We thank them all for their vital contributions and honour their work by bringing it together here.
