Source: TurkishPress.com BUENOS AIRES (AFP) - Argentine environmentalists have announced they will block access to Uruguay and the site of a planned paper mill ahead of the World Bank's expected announcement of its decision on financing the plant. The activists said they will take action Monday to protest the paper mill being built by Finnish company Botnia inside Uruguay near the river separating it from Argentina. The project has been under dispute for months over concerns it will cause significant water pollution and devastate livelihoods along waterways in the area.
