Aremote Patagonian town that‘s just beginning to prosper by guiding tourists through the virgin forests nearby is being shaken by the realization that it’s sitting on a gold mine. Literally. 41）___________________________________________________________________
Esquel‘s plight is winning attention from international conservation and environmental groups such as Greenpeace. 42）__________________________
About 3.2 million acres already are under contract for mineral exploration in poor and sparsely settled Chubut Province，where Esquel is，near the southern tip of South America. 43）______________________________________
Meridian‘s project，about 5 miles outside Esquel at a higher elevation，is about 20 miles from a national park that preserves rate trees known as alerces，a southern relative of California’s giant sequoia. Some of them have been growing serenely in the temperate rain forest for more than 3，000 years.
The greatest fear is that cyanide，which is used to leach gold from ore，will drain downhill and poison Esquel‘s and possibly the park’s water supplies. The mine will use 180 tons of the deadly chemical each month. Although many townspeople and some geologists disagree，the company says any excess cyanide would drain away from Esquel.
“We won‘t allow them to tear things up and leave us with the toxic aftermath，”said Felix Aguilar，28，as he piloted a boatload of tourists through a lake in the Alerces National Park.“We take care of things here，so that the entire world can hear and see nature in its pure state. The world must help us prevent this.”
44）__________________________________________________________________________
A young English botanist named Charles Darwin，the author of the theory of evolution，was the first European to see alerces，with trunks that had a circumference of 130 feet. He gave the tree its generic name，Fitzroya cupressoides，for the captain of his ship，Robert Fitzroy.
Argentina，pressed by the United States，Canada，the World Bank and other global lenders，rewrote its mining laws in the 1990s to encourage foreign investment.45）________________________________________
Argentina took in more than＄1 billion over the past decade by granting exploration contracts for precious metals to more than 70 foreign and domestic companies. If the country were to turn away a major investor，the message to its mining sector would be chilling.
