巴西国民在圭亚那Iwokrama保护区(教科文组织承认的雨林保护区)被捕, Brazilian nationals were arrested in Guyana’s Iwokrama Protected Area, a UNESCO-recognized rainforest reserve, for illegal gold mining disguised as tourism. 2025年11月1日,Flaviano Teixiera-Costa与Jose Do Santos Silvino一起,在圭亚那地质和矿业委员会、警方和Iwokrama巡警的一次联合行动中,于10月8日早些时候被捕。 Flaviano Teixiera-Costa was taken into custody on November 1, 2025, alongside Jose Do Santos Silvino, arrested earlier on October 8, during a joint operation by Guyana’s Geology and Mines Commission, police, and Iwokrama Rangers. 其他几名矿工嫌疑人逃离,留下护照。 Several other suspected miners fled, leaving behind passports. 当局说,黄金价格上涨助长了非法活动,威胁到生态系统,污染河流,破坏养护和气候目标。 Authorities say rising gold prices fuel illicit activity, which threatens ecosystems, pollutes rivers, and undermines conservation and climate goals. Iwokrama重申致力于执行1996年禁止在该地区采矿的法律,并承诺公布罪犯的姓名和图像。 Iwokrama reiterated its commitment to enforcing the 1996 Act, which bans mining in the area, and pledged to publish names and images of offenders.
