The National Confederation of Peruvian Communities Affected by Mining (CONACAMI, in Spanish: Confederación Nacional de Comunidades del Perú Afectadas por la Minería) is a Peruvian indigenous rights organization with a focus on defending the rights of indigenous peoples living in communities that are close to (future) large scale mining projects. The organization tries to protect them against the potential negative impacts of mining. Of the 6000 communities in Peru, 3200 experience negative effects of the extractive industries.[1] CONACAMI is a national organization and gives support to the 19 regional organizations. These handle the specific conflicts between indigenous communities and mining companies.
