Chinese state-backed firms have been mining minerals such as copper, steel and gold around Amnye Machen since 1993. However, run-off from these operations have contaminated waters and heavily damaged nearby and downstream ecology. Locals in Maqin county (རྨ་ཆེན་རྫོང་།) in Amdo Golog have repeatedly petitioned the Chinese government to stop these activities.
