随着金价飙升，非法采矿已毁坏了坦博帕塔国家保护区大片雨林。“停下，就在那里！”一名秘鲁海军海豹突击队队员大喊，向天空鸣枪示警。但逃跑的男子置若罔闻，爬上一个足球场大小的弹坑边缘，消失在茂密的雨林中，突击队员们在后面追赶，一边咒骂一边开枪。
As gold prices surge, illegal mining has laid waste to swathes of Tambopata National Reserve’s rainforest“Halt, stop right there,” shouts a Peruvian Navy Seal, firing warning shots into the air. But the fleeing man pays no attention, scrambling up to the rim of a football pitch-sized crater and disappearing into the dense rainforest as the commandos give chase, swearing and shooting.
与此同时，其他海军陆战队员在浮在弹坑里的一个简易木筏上安装炸药，这个弹坑本质上是一个巨大的不透明死水坑。木筏上装有一台柴油驱动的吸泵电机，连着粗塑料管，用来吸取并筛选河床沉积物中的微小金粒。
Meanwhile, other marines set dynamite charges on a makeshift wooden raft that floats in the crater, which is essentially an enormous pit of opaque, stagnant water. The raft has a diesel-fuelled suction pump motor with thick plastic tubing used to suck up and sift through river sediment for tiny particles of gold.
