Community: worried about the mines exploiting the land, through taking all their land and ruining the community, fear of the community from proposed projects. Consultation: under time constraint companies pressured process, unfair representation of community, strong consultation, door-to-door representative, more accepting to the community was familiar with the area, addressed concerns of the community. Monitoring: poor monitoring, representative could only report and had no authoritative power, however, creates knowledge for the companies and shares power, conducted basic/ simple monitoring, no measurements were really done, only observations. Monitoring in ea: also known as observation. Involves taking regular measurements at regular time intervals over time. In ea, use of repetitive measurements of indicators: helps anticipate and provide better understanding of spatial/ temporal changes in environmental quality. Integrated monitoring has four objectives: establish cause-effect relationship, derive scientifically defensible pollution control/ resource management programs, measure environmental response to control measures, provide early warnings of new problems.
