"If fewer ants are found, chances are higher that other organisms living in the surrounding landscape are strongly affected by the high copper levels as well. Ants have good judgement whether an area is habitual as they live directly in the soil and are thus sensitive to environmental disruptions."

true, but sounds like an opinion. Maybe a quotation or something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.157.134 (talk) 10:10, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I added a section pertaining to coral reefs to illuminate the impact mining contamination can have on coastal ecosystems when mobilized by local watersheds. I feel that it is important to offer further insights into the impact of mining contamination coastal environments. ElectricFalcon7 (talk) 02:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

For a college project, my group has started a case study section to look at South America to gain localized and regional information on the page that can cover an area in more detail than just a broad overview. The article is already very good, and we may add more case studies later. JeremyKent2 (talk) 23:00, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
