Fires are raging in Bolivia, hitting particularly hard the Chiquitano dry forests of the country’s southern Santa Cruz region. Mennonites, skilled farmers but with limited knowledge of the world, implement deforestation and aridity of land by spraying the surrounding land with agro-toxic. The large landowners increase monocultures with transgenic plants, moreover the meat market, recently opened also to China and Russia, requires more and more vast land for grazing.Indigenous peoples, finding themselves without water, food, and natural pharmacy are forced to move and live in poverty.
I have always lived in Venice and I never tire of observing it. I have always worked with fixed-term contracts, thus allowing me to travel a few months each year and give vent to my need to express myself through images. Pure love for photography, I currently work as a photo reporter for a local newspaper.
