Portrait of a man who lost his leg to a land mine (Cambodia). Cambodia has one of the highest amputation rates caused by anti-personnel mines around the world, with about 40.000 people currently living without a limb. At present, between 4 and 6 million of mines are still remaining in the territory. Every year, thousands of mines are destroyed but with these rhythms, it would take hundreds of years to completely eliminate these devices from the country.

Even when I reached Angkor Wat in January 1992, a few months after its post-war reopening to tourism, we had recommendations to scrupulously and exclusively follow the paths obtained among the vegetation, without leaving it.
Meraviglia to see that even today, as then, so many unsuspecting victims are affected by ordnance evidently in full efficiency, despite the 4 or even 5 decades that have passed :-.
As important document.

In a sea of images, mostly squalid, of little relevance, historical, social, cultural or even just experiential, here with great pleasure, you see a PHOTOGRAPH ...... who in an instant, hands a historical part of man and his darker side, told by those who live it every second on his skin ....!
Compliments... to her to the subject.... that has bequested ritrAtte, maybe who knows to send to all of us, an important message ....!
Ad Maiora.

Thank you Marmor!
As I wrote in the caption unfortunately, with today's pace of mine removal (thousands every year), it would still take hundreds of years to be able to remove all 4/6 million devices still in the territory. A very high price in terms of innocent victims. Greetings!
