EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the harsh reality of illegal mining in the dense jungles of southern Venezuela. Taken on November 17,2012, the photograph reveals an expansive and illicit mine that has become a beacon of hope for countless garimpeiros – gold and diamond prospectors who dream of striking it rich overnight. Located within the triangular border region connecting Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, this clandestine operation represents both desperation and ambition. In their pursuit of unimaginable wealth, these miners are willing to risk everything by engaging in unlawful activities. The image showcases not only the magnitude of this illegal enterprise but also its devastating impact on the environment. The deforestation caused by these operations is evident as vast stretches of once-thriving rainforest have been reduced to barren wastelands. Despite being devoid of human presence, evidence of activity is apparent through plumes of smoke billowing from makeshift structures dotting the landscape. This scene serves as a stark reminder that crime and misdemeanour can thrive even amidst nature's beauty. Jorge Silva's powerful photograph sheds light on a hidden world where dreams collide with exploitation. It prompts us to question our role in preserving fragile ecosystems while acknowledging the allure that drives individuals into such dangerous pursuits.
