- 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.
