A vast area of 9.5 million hectares is legally owned by Indian tribe Yanomami. It is here that illegal gold miners are working.
To date, about 27,000 Indians live in a territory that "black" gold miners continually pollute, using illegal methods in pursuit of precious metal.
Despite the fact that such raids are conducted regularly, violators of the law continue their activities. To protect themselves, gold miners often move from place to place. Due to the large area with gold ore deposits, it is not immediately possible to control the entire territory.
