[edit] Environmental RecordTata, along with a Tanzanian company, joined forces to build a soda ash extraction plant in Tanzania.[8] The Tanzanian government is all for the project.[8] On the other hand, environmental activists are opposing the plant because it would be near Lake Natron, and it could possibly affect the lake's ecosystem and its neighboring dwellers.[9] Tata was planning to change the site of the plant so it would be built 32km from the lake, but the opposition still thinks it would negatively disturb the environment.[9] It could also jeopardize the Lesser Flamingo birds there, which are already endangered. Lake Natron is where two thirds of Lesser Flamingos reproduce.[10] Producing soda ash involves drawing out salt water from the lake, and then disposing the water back to the lake. This process could interrupt the chemical make up of the lake.[8] Twenty-two African nations are against the creation of the project and have signed a petition to stop its construction.[8] [edit] See also[edit] ReferencesTata’s Corus acquisition : one of the biggest in Indian History - http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1548117.cms
