Landscapes Of French Guiana
Maripasoula, France, June 29, 2019. The polluted waters of the Maroni River. Due to illegal gold panning activities, the waters of the Maroni River are dirty. They also hide a more insidious poison, mercury, which, although banned in French Guiana, is used by gold diggers to amalgamate gold flakes. (Photo by Emeric Fohlen/NurPhoto)
