The Devil's Creek
(Baonghean) -In the Cam village area, Cam Muon commune (Que Phong - Nghe An), people are racing to dig and carve the Quya stream.
The method of the "gold thieves" is to use a water pump with a Dong Phong engine to insert a "water hose" into the cliffs and fields, creating deep holes (photo 1). During the gold panning process, they also use chemicals to discharge into the streams (photo 2). Below the Devil's stream, women and children are soaking in the water contaminated with extremely toxic chemicals (photo 3). Due to massive and excessive exploitation, many streams in Cam Muon commune are seriously polluted,The changed flow caused landslides and loss of arable land. Children were also given "tools" to dig and pan for gold in the Devil's Stream (photo 4).
