Join Miko and Maya as they uncover the story of the Golden Valley—a once-breathtaking paradise that thrived through responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Through their journey, they learn how greed and harmful practices can harm both nature and communities—and how teamwork, perseverance, and love can heal a land and its people.
The story of Miko, Maya, at ang Ginintuang Lambak (and the Golden Valley) recognizes the essential lesson that communities engaged in artisanal and small-scale gold mining must embrace responsible mining practices. It serves as a poignant reminder that the pursuit of wealth should never compromise the irreparable harm inflicted upon nature and human well-being. Through the adoption of formalized, environmentally-conscious, and socially responsible mining practices, we have the opportunity to forge a legacy for the coming generations. This legacy ensures that they can cherish and experience the wonders of our planet without bearing the burdens of environmental degradation and health risks.
