July 9, 2014 - Laiza, Kachin, Myanmar - A Chinese woman works as overseer at a gold mining site near Laiza, Kachin State, Myanmar. In mineral-rich areas of Kachin State, taxes from Burmese and Chinese gold mining provides an important income stream to the Kachin Independence Organization. However, these mining companies use mercury in an environmentally hazardous extraction process, which can lead to long-lasting damage for the area's forests and river ways.
