This would result in a change of function and quality of the living environment for this place and cultural erosion would be likely. • The TNC supplies aluminium to international markets, and it opened a refinery in Niyamgiri using imported bauxite, before receiving approval for the mine. • The government banned the TNC from opening the mine, but the TNC disagrees and has appealed against the decision. Figure 7a Background information The Dongria Kondh’s identity and lived experience are based on their ability to live off the land growing crops and collecting honey, fruit and edible insects from the forest. The mountains, streams and forests are vital to the people’s cultural and spiritual wellbeing. Forest products are used to treat arthritis, bone fractures, malaria and snake bites. Millet, traditionally grown and eaten only by the poor, has become a health food choice for wealthy Indian people. About 8 000 people live in scattered villages and have rejected jobs offered by the TNC. Figure 7b Facts about the Dongria Kondh community 7 P62361RA Turn over Mining and aluminium processing TNC The TNC is Indian-owned, with a UK headquarters, and uses Indian supplies of bauxite and coal. It employs or contracts a total of 65 000 workers globally. The TNC offered permanent skilled jobs, reducing inequalities in this economically poor region. It built a hospital and school for the community. Its global revenue increased in 2017–18 by 33% to over US$15 billion. The Niyamgiri hills bauxite deposit is valued at US$2 billion. Mining and processing reduces forest biodiversity and disrupts local and regional river systems. Figure 7c Facts about the TNC Dongria Kondh community TNC Indian government • Wants to preserve its social and economic culture with limited engagement with modern Indian society. • Requires raw materials to reach production targets. Local sourcing would be more sustainable. • Encourages TNCs to help economy grow and country to become more self‑sufficient. • Has limited access to local schooling and modern healthcare. • If mine does not go ahead they will close the school and hospital they built for the community. • Reserves places at university and in technical jobs for indigenous people but few are taken up. • Won case against TNC in court to block change in function to mining, following an international media campaign. • Annual report says 2017–18 targets to reduce water use and carbon emissions at the refinery were met. • Implemented court decision after international human rights groups and celebrities provided support to highlight case in the media.

Figure 12a Background information The Dongria Kondh live off the land in the Niyamgiri hills growing crops including millet and collecting honey, fruit and edible insects from the forest. Mountain streams are used by communities for water. They then flow onto the plains below and supply water for drinking and farming for millions of people. Forest products are used to treat arthritis, dysentery, bone fractures, malaria and snake bites. About 8 000 people live in scattered villages. Figure 12b Facts about the Dongria Kondh community 11 P62361RA Changes experienced in the Niyamgiri hills An Indian-owned TNC built an aluminium refinery near the hills. It produces red mud as a waste product, which contaminates rivers and air and damages crops, livestock and human health. In November 2018 the government gave permission for a six times larger expansion. Indian middle-classes are choosing millet as a health food as it is rich in protein and minerals. The Niyamgiri area has rare millet species that could be vital food sources for the future as climate changes, as these grow in low rainfall conditions. Deforestation by poachers removes trees, leading to a loss of species and local knowledge that could be used globally for medicine. The Dongria Kondh community was encouraged to grow rice by commercial seed companies instead of its traditional crops. Figure 12c Changes in the Niyamgiri hills Dongria Kondh community Indian government Aluminium processing TNC • Lacks land rights or representation in government. Survival International, a non‑government organisation (NGO), supports them. • Encourages business to help economy grow, and to provide social and economic development for all India’s people. • Employs 3 000 people in Odisha, 85% of whom are local. Claims development would help the Dongria Kondh and offers them jobs. • Lives in economic poverty and few young people complete education. • Under pressure from human rights and environmental groups. • Claims it causes zero harm, zero waste and zero discharge, and says, 'trees will be planted in the future!'. • Wants to preserve its social and economic way of life with limited engagement with modern Indian society. • Reserves places at university and in technical jobs for indigenous people but few are taken up. • Plans to recycle red mud waste from aluminium production to manufacture concrete.
