Our Goal
is to ensure environmental, social and economic justice for all inhabitants of Colorado
To accomplish our Mission, we use a two pronged approach-
One monitors (watch dogs) proposed metal, gem and uranium mining operations in Colorado. Because of this direct involvement in the early stages of permitting, INFORM can ensure that mining’s effects to the local community, wildlife and water quality will be addressed before a project begins.
