Kids driving a motorcycle in a community inhabited exclusively by gold mining workers, mostly male. There are some local commerce, mostly dedicated to mining supplies, gold shops, one supermarket, and many prostitution houses. The place is called Creporizão, home of many criminal groups that illegal explore a indigenous land protected by law. Criminal groups are illegally exploring this area, a indigenous land protected by law -Munduruku indigenous people's land. For the past thirty years, the Crepori river has been exploited in search of gold in a crescent level. As the river is an important tributary of Tapajós river (one of the biggest Amazon basin river), ambientalists concerns are focused on the high level of damage this illegal mining is causing to Amazon basin and Amazon's biome. photo and text by CAIO GUATELLI
