Officers of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) arrest an illegal miner during an operation against Amazon deforestation at an illegal mining camp, known as garimpo, at the Yanomami territory in Roraima State, Brazil, on February 24, 2023. - In early February Brazil deployed hundreds of police and soldiers to evict gold miners accused of causing a humanitarian crisis on the Yanomami Indigenous reservation, as thousands of the illegal miners fled. Justice Minister Flavio Dino said authorities estimate at least 15,000 people have illegally invaded the protected Amazon rainforest reservation, where Indigenous leaders accuse gold miners of raping and killing inhabitants, poisoning their water with mercury and triggering a food crisis by destroying the forest.
