We are convinced "foreign Chians" from 10 different countries. We hereby express our full solidarity with all those on the island who are campaigning against antimony mining in Amani.
We all love this island, many of us have been coming to Chios for decades.
We have found an important piece of home here.
The island's nature and culture are close to our hearts and we want to help preserve this special beauty for the future.
In our opinion, the planned antimony mining in Amani poses a massive and irreversible threat to the environment.
We therefore support those on the island who are fighting against these plans.
Only a few would win, but all of us who love the island would lose.
