Brief description: The deforestation caused by illegal mining in Madre de Dios is a serious matter. The gaze is set on the communal reserve of indigenous peoples, a gaze that is pending the destruction of our territory. Another look shows the challenge of nature- we will never give up, we will not give up the fight. A look that looks only at gold, greed and destruction of territories with mechanised arms, a look that destroys. It is also the vigilant gaze represented in a jaguar, the nature that observes us all, how we are extinguishing the human species.
