Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a case study related to the negative impacts of gold mining in the Amazon. The case describes the concept of the resource curse syndrome to explain why the negative costs of gold mining in the Amazon could outweigh the positive benefits. Environmental and human rights issues that are discussed in the case study include: the use of mercury in the mining process; deforestation; the impact on indigenous people and the use of child labor.
