A Jordanian government plan to mine copper in a protected, biodiverse wilderness containing ancient sites has outraged environmentalists and archeologists.
The Cabinet’s decision last month to revive the mining at the Dana-Feynan Reserve in southern Jordan has pitted conservationists against business interests.
Officials have described the plan as an industrial project that would improve living conditions in the area.
Jordan’s government also says it wants to encourage eco-tourism to diversify the sector beyond its best-known attractions.
