NICARAGUA: First ‘public consultation’ on Canal EIS
Last week the governmental committee for Nicaragua’s ‘Gran Canal’ held its first public consultation in order to present the environmental and social impact study (EIS) carried out by the UK-based consultancy firm, Environmental Resources Management (ERM), on the US$50bn project.
