Members of the Special Inspection Group from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) burn a motor used for dredging during an operation against illegal mining in Yanomami Indigenous land, Roraima state, Brazil, December 6, 2023. The destruction of the rainforest was evident from gaping pits some five meters (16 ft) deep in mining sites cleared of trees, along with dozens of ponds where dredged sludge was pumped into rivers, turning pristine waters a bright orange from the mud.
