Íntegra da notícia

A corrida do ouro atraiu 10 mil garimpeiros à floresta onde vivem os índios Yanomami, em Roraima, na fronteira entre o Brasil e a Venezuela. Ainda que a presença dos garimpeiros seja ilegal, por se tratar de território indígena, eles permanecem na região, ameaçando a vida dos Yanomami com doenças e poluição por mercúrio.
