In this May 23, 2013 photo, two men walk along a road in El Corral, a small town of about 200 inhabitants, mostly from the Diaguita ethnic group, near the facilities of Barrick Gold Corp's Pascua-Lama project in northern Chile. The Diaguitas live in the foothills of the Andes, where for as long as anyone can remember they’ve drunk straight from the glacier-fed river that irrigates their orchards and vineyards with clean water. But since Pascua-Lama gold mine project moved in, the Diaguitas claim the river levels have dropped and some complain of cancerous growths and aching stomachs. (AP Photo/Jorge Saenz)
