Coal Mines at the Source of the Yellow River
Aerial view of the Muli mine, seen within the landscape of the northern part of the Chi-lien Mountains, on the Tibetan Plateau. At approximately 4100 mt to 4300 mt above sea level, the plateau is the main source of the Datong, Shule and the Buha rivers, which are all important tributaries of the Yellow River.
A Greenpeace investigation has revealed the presence of a giant coal mine that has been illegally encroaching on a nature reserve at the source of the Yellow River. The sprawling mining operation, covering an area 14 times larger than the City of London, at an altitude of over 4,000m, has been documented in detail for the first time by Greenpeace East Asia. With evidence gathered on the remote region with satellite images and analysis by legal experts, Greenpeace has established that the coal development violates a number of water protection laws and local nature reserve regulations.
