An Australian environmental lobby today dragged Adani group in the Land court of Queensland, objecting to the Indian mining giant's 16.5 billion dollars Carmichael Coal mine project in the coal-rich state on the ground that it would endanger biodiversity in the region.
"Adani's mine will be the third biggest coal mine in the world. It will emit more carbon pollution and will warm the world more than any other proposed development," Coast and Country's Derec Davies said today after launching a five week legal action objecting to the project.
"This case will draw on testimonies from water experts, climate and marine scientists, economists and financial experts and our case will demonstrate that this poses unacceptable risks. We will demonstrate that this dangerous mine should not be approved and that Adani should not be allowed to operate in Queensland," Davies said.
Covering 280 sq km, the Carmichael mine would beAustralia 's largest and it would use a new 300 km rail line to transfer up to 60 m tonnes of coal a year to overseas markets.
Adani has argued the mine in the frontier Galilee Basin will create thousands of jobs and inject millions of dollars into Queensland's economy , including coal royalties.
Arguing that the mine presented unacceptable climate change dangers and ecological risks, Derec said, "This mine will have severe impacts on the Great Barrier Reef, will threaten the tourism industry in Queensland and will negatively impact the economy."
"The mine also threatens precious water resources and rare biodiversity," he added.
"This mine was given special treatment from the formerQueensland government with royalty breaks and funding of its railway. The mining industry had too much power over decisions made by the former government," he said.
