	Mountain Voices: oral testimonies from Cerro de Pasco, Peru
		In Peru, where this collection was gathered, 50 per cent of the population lives in the mountains; 33 per cent in the puna.
		While it has brought employment and some infrastructure to the region, the industry paid scant regard to the environmental impact of its activities: waste from the mines seeped into the water supply, and polluted the springs which run through the pastures; lakes once famous for fish and birdlife are discoloured, empty and their surroundings silent.
		The resource base is under strain, and the younger generations' demands for education and employment mean the main trend is away from the highlands, and from rural to urban areas.

	Mountain Voices: oral testimonies from Cerro de Pasco, Peru: local themes: education
		Others warn of the problem of unfulfilled expectations: "The young people go to university with high expectations; they think they're going to become professionals and their parents have high expectations of them too, but in the end they come out and they end up working in whatever they can, despite the fact that they've studied.
		Several stress the need for better higher education facilities in Cerro de Pasco itself, which would keep students there, and encourage job creation locally.
		Once the university was established it began to separate itself from the trade unions, that's why there's a demand now that our university - we say ours because in reality we all put in effort to bring it to fruition - develops a social perspective.
