A case could be made for all areas where bauxite is found to be environmentally sensitive. Mining can be be devastating to the environment of an area. Lots of reclamation is needed to "put things back" as they were. But restoring plants can be difficult, particularly in a rain forest like the Amazon. That puts Brazil at the head of the list, and Guinea second. India has sensitive areas, too, though not rain forest, and you can add it third.
