<Li> Greenhouse gas increase </Li> <Li> Natural hazard / Natural disaster </Li> <P> When a mining company enters a developing country in the global south to extract raw materials, advocating the advantages of the industry's presence and minimizing the potential negative effects gain cooperation of the local people . Advantageous factors are primarily in economic development so services that the government could not provide such as health centers, police departments and schools can be established . However, with economic development, money becomes a dominant subject of interest . This can bring about major conflicts that a local community in a developing country has never dealt with before . These conflicts emerge by a change to more egocentric views among the locals influenced by consumerist values . </P> <P> The effects of the exploitation of natural resources in the local community of a developing country are exhibited in the impacts from the Ok Tedi Mine . After BHP, now BHP Billiton, entered into Papua New Guinea to exploit copper and gold, the economy of the indigenous peoples boomed . Although their quality of life has improved, initially disputes were common among the locals in terms of land rights and who should be getting the benefits from the mining project . The consequences of the Ok Tedi environmental disaster illustrate the potential negative effects from the exploitation of natural resources . The resulting mining pollution includes toxic contamination of the natural water supply for communities along the Ok Tedi River, causing widespread killing of aquatic life . When a mining company ends a project after extracting the raw materials from an area of a developing country, the local people are left to manage with the environmental damage done to their community and the long run sustainability of the economic benefits stimulated by the mining company's presence becomes a concern . </P>
