Illegal miners nearly cleared in Amazon forests, indigenous people return to normal life

Brazil has said that it has thrown away illegal miners from Yanomami reservation in the Amazon rainforest that had caused massive humanitarian crisis with disease and malnutrition as well as brought about environment devastation.

The Yanomami is South America's largest Indigenous group living almost in isolation in the Amazon rainforest. After clearance of the illegal miners, Brazil said the indigenous group have returned to normal life, cultivation and hunting, news agency Reuters reported.

Brazil cleared 42 illegal airstrips that had been set up by the illegal miners, blasting them all with the help of dynamites, setting 18 aircrafts to fire, and dismantling pumps.
