The early announcement served as a warning to the miners who, having had enough time to avoid the obvious environmental crime being caught, are running away in small groups between the municipalities of Autazes and Borba. The dispersion has the clear objective of hampering the government's operation, which, however, has not yet started.In original language:Balsas ilegais de mineração recuam no rio Madeira, no AmazonasApós um boato de descoberta de ouro ter atraído centenas de balsas de garimpo para a exploração ilegal do minério na região de Autazes, no Amazonas, o governo brasileiro anunciou uma ação contra a atividade dentro dos próximos dias. O anúncio precoce serviu de alerta aos garimpeiros que, tendo tido tempo suficiente para evitar o flagrante do evidente crime ambiental, seguem fugindo em pequenos grupos entre os municípios de Autazes e Borba. A dispersão tem o claro objetivo de dificultar a operação do governo que, todavia, ainda não foi iniciada.Locations:Amazon-Brazil-South AmericaDate:26 Nov, 2021Credit:© Bruno Kelly / GreenpeaceLatitude:3°53'12.12"SMaximum size:6220px X 4147pxLongitude59°10'48.48"WKeywords:Aerial view-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Ferries-Illegal-KWCI (GPI)-Mining-Outdoors-Rafts-RiversShoot:Illegal Mining Ferries Move in Retreat on the Madeira River, in Amazonas (Photos by Bruno Kelly)Related Collections:Illegal Mining Ferries Move in Retreat on the Madeira River, in Amazonas (Photos & Videos)
