  Thanks for sharing this, Global Witness appears to have a pretty wonderful page on the topic[0]. It reminds me of the images of the Serra Pelada miners in Powaqqatsi[1], which is 20+ years old. It's sad to see how little progress we've made, in some ways. [0] https://www.globalwitness.org/en/all-countries-and-regions/myanmar/ https://www.globalwitness.org/en/all-countries-and-regions/m...
