This aerial image displays the extensive infrastructure of an open-pit mining operation in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Dirt roads crisscross the mining site, heavy machinery clusters around active zones, and deforested patches mark the expansion boundaries. The photo powerfully illustrates the transformation of the landscape due to industrial activity and the encroachment on nearby tropical forests. It provides a striking visual representation of the environmental trade-offs involved in resource extraction.
