Strangely, I discovered the horrors of myanmar mining through tiktok. The sight and scale of 400000 people mining jade in very dangerous conditions is unimaginable

Thanks for sharing this, Global Witness appears to have a pretty wonderful page on the topic[0]. It reminds me of the images of the Serra Pelada miners in Powaqqatsi[1], which is 20+ years old. It's sad to see how little progress we've made, in some ways.
