I am writing to express AUYAN's deep enthusiasm for the prospect of joining the UNEP Global Mercury artnership as a committed partner in the collective endeavour to mitigate mercury pollution and safeguard environmental and human health. As the founder of AUYAN, a startup specializing in monitoring mining activities with a particular focus on the detection and evaluation of artisanal mines' environmental impacts, our team is acutely aware of the urgent need for concerted global action to address the pervasive challenges posed by mercury pollution. Our work at AUYAN is driven by a steadfast commitment to leveraging innovative technology and data-driven insights to foster sustainable mining practices and minimize adverse environmental consequences.
