O rio Paraopeba ficou contaminado por quilômetros de sua extensão, e milhares de pessoas tiveram impactos em seus modos de vida.Este crime ambiental acontece pouco mais de três anos após a ruptura da barragem em Mariana, Minas Gerais, controlada pela Vale e pela anglo-australiana BHP.Locations:Brazil-Brumadinho-South AmericaDate:6 Feb, 2019Credit:© Christian Braga / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4775px X 3188pxKeywords:Accidents-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Farmers-Farms-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Men-One person-Outdoors-Rear view-River pollution-Toxics (campaign title)-Victims-Water pollutionShoot:Farmers near Brumadinho Affected by Dam Collapse in BrazilFarmers near Brumadinho, in the city of Mário Campos, who relied on the Paraopeba River to water their crops, are left with no options since January 25th, when a tailing dam from an iron ore mine from Vale, a Brazilian mining company, collapsed, flooding with almost 13 million m³ of toxic mud the district of Córrego do Feijão, in the city of Brumadinho, in Minas Gerais state.Hundreds of people are dead or missing.
