## Caption

The Brazilian Amazon is one of the richest and most diverse biomes in the world, home to millions of species, many of which are still unknown to science. Despite this, the biome has been systematically destroyed by economic activities that are incapable of coexisting with the forest, such as gold mining.⁣
⁣
Illegal mining has been expanding in the Amazon for decades, polluting Indigenous Lands and other protected areas, as well as threatening the lives and health of the more than 30 million people who inhabit the region, particularly Indigenous Peoples, through the contamination by mercury and the destruction of the forest.⁣
