Novo Progresso municipality, Mato Grosso state - Amazon Rainforest region, Northern Brazil. August 25, 2020.
A gold miner carries a saw to cut trees by the edge of Novo Progresso river. Criminal groups are illegally exploring this area, protected by conservation law. For the past thirty years, illegal gold mining has been exploring Amazon's rivers. As many of those rivers are tributary of Tapajós river (one of the biggest Amazon basin river), environmentalists concerns are focused on the high level of damage this illegal mining is causing to Amazon basin and Amazonia biome. photo and text by CAIO GUATELLI
