Small-scale gold mining has destroyed more than 170,000 acres of primary #rainforest in the #PeruvianAmazon in the past five years, according to a new analysis by scientists at #WFU’s Center for Amazonian Scientific Innovation (CINCIA). That’s an area larger than San Francisco and 30% more than previously reported. More at the 🔗 in our profile. wakefo.rest/cinciaresearch #wfuresearch // 📸 via @jasonbhouston and @cinciamdd
