A joint operation of the military forces of Colombia and Brazil against illegal mining at the Amazonia left 24 people detained this week and four gold exploitations dismantled, informed Colombian authorities on December 4, 2015. Colombia's ecosystem, with one of the greatest biodiversities in the world, is seriously affected by illegal mining of minerals such as gold, coal, tungsten and nickel, which finances illegal armed groups.
