RE: Thirst for Illegal Treasure. Gold Mining In Venezuela - Environmental Disaster.

in #steemstem6 years ago

This is so frustrating that there is no efficient intervention to stop this. Not only is it ecologically damaging but it is also putting the lives of those workers in huge risk.

A lot of miners died in mining accidents in my home country (Turkey) because of the harsh working conditions.

Thanks for sharing this, greetings from Cape Town :)

So this is one of the many aspects in this country that are completely in chaos and mismanagement. As I wrote this post I, it struck me that basically everything containing organic particles in this area is contaminated to a greater or lesser extent. I wonder just how much of this terrible chemicals I have acquired by eating fish and other stuff from there. Ewwwwwww :P

YAY to Cape Town, planning to visit in December , LOVE IT !
