The Wider Image: Gold miners bring fresh wave of suffering

Illegal miners are caught using jets of water to dig for gold, damaging the soil by the edge of the Couto de Magalhaes river, during an operation by members of the Special Inspection Group from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) against illegal mining in Yanomami Indigenous land, Roraima state, Brazil, December 3, 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.
