The Chilean government has just turned down a $2.5 billion mining project in favor of endangered wildlife conservation.

The original project proposal was for an iron mining initiative launched by the Andes Iron firm in the Coquimbo region. The region is dangerously close to the National Humboldt Penguin Reserve: a collection of islands that house and protect the Humboldt penguin, along with several other endangered species.

If Chilean representatives had accepted the proposal, the firm would have begun extracting millions of tons of metal from the earth, as well as building a seaport for the metal’s exportation.

Since conservationists warned that the projects could potentially harm the penguins, the Chilean government refused.

“The compensation measures were insufficient and could not guarantee the protection of species of concern,” Environmental Minister Marcelo Mena told the Associated Press.

“We are not against economic development or projects that are necessary for the country’s growth, but they must offer adequate solutions for the impact they will have.”

That's fine, you have to find a balance. It's not like this is the only known iron deposit in the world. We've actually barely scratched the surface when it comes to iron from what I understand.

Basically this, if it was something that was rare or more valuable those penguins would be gone.

When you're only means if conveying how bad people are, is using means and devices said people have created, shared and given to you. The your message has destroyed itself.

Humans are great. The fact you have the ability right now to commuincate to me that you irrationally hate them while enjoying your comfortable life deomonstrates how great they are.

If a lion went to another lion to tell him how much lions sucked he'd realize he can't talk or pontificate and then be killed by the other lion.

The other lion would then die of disease not long after.

Ostrich

Ostrich meat is literally one of the most healthy red meats in the world. Extremely high in protein, low in fat, calories, and cholesterol but high in Iron.

It's literally more healthy than chicken.

On top of all that, it's meat tastes like beef. So basically Ostrich is the same as cow meat in terms of flavor but twice as healthy.

If the entirity of America switched from eating beef to eating Ostrich we'd put a massive dent in the obesity problem inside a decade.

its more of a price problem.... ostrich meat would be more expensive than buffalo meat which happens to be more expensive then beef. no commoner would be able to afford it.

Supply and demand

If the demand for Ostrich meat was as high as the demand for Beef, we would be farming it all over and it would be little more than beef.

It's only so expensive because so few eat it.
