Jacareacanga municipality, Pará state, Amazon Rainforest region, northern Brasil - August 5, 2020:
IBAMA (Brazilian Institution for Environment Protection) agents use a helicopter in an operation to destroy illegal gold mining sites. One hour later, Brazil's former minister of Environment, Mr. Ricardo Salles, when he still was a Minister, acted to block IBAMA's operations happening there. Mr. Salles was a kind of a supporter for those miners that he used to call 'legalized workers'.
Few months later, he was fired from the government, but the illegal mining sites are still destroying Amazon Basin rivers. Photo and text by Caio Guatelli
