Disa intermedia is an endangered species of orchid native to Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). It is threatened by mining operations in the Ngwenya Mine region, which have caused heavy pollution of the water sources that feed the nearby city of Mbabane. In 2014, Salgaocar Swaziland Limited Company made a $28 million donation to the king Mswati III in exchange for a 25% ownership of the mine. Reports claimed that Salgaocar was using Mozambican and South African trucks to avoid paying import taxes, and that 2,500 jobs were promised but never created. Salgaocar ceased its mining activities in Ngwenya in 2014, but in 2018 the Mineral Management Board announced it was ready to relaunch prospecting activities at the mine.
