A “sacrifice zone”

August 14 , 2022 592 days 413 0
  • There is a place in Myanmar that has become: A “sacrifice zone”.
  • It is a place that destroys itself for the good of the world.
  • The sacrifice is visible from the air, in toxic turquoise pools that dot the landscape covered by mountain jungles just a few years ago.
  • Since rare earth clays in Myanmar are soft and near the surface, they can easily be scooped into these pools of chemicals.
  • Satellite imagery commissioned by Global Witness showed more than 2,700 of these pools at almost 300 separate locations.
