Il lago di Aral come molti sanno era uno dei laghi più grandi al mondo. In realtà però era un mare, perché era salato. Tanto pesce di mare, e tanti benefici economici. L'industria di trasformazione del pesce, era fiorente e permetteva all'Usbekistan, di esportarlo in moltissimi paesi. Ora al posto di tutto questo ci sono centinaia e centinaia di chilometri di un deserto assurdo, che sconcerta. Lo so perché li ho percorsi per vedere l'ultima pozzanghera piena di veleni che rimane. Negli anni 60 l'Urss cominciò a coltivare riso e cotone in condizioni del lavoro simili a quelle degli schiavi d'America. I cittadini venivano prelevati e costretti al lavoro coatto per mesi. Cominciarono a spargere veleni di tutti i tipi che andavano nei fiumi anche alimentavano il mare. Poi a deviarli fino a provocarne il disastro che ho potuto vedere. Il brutto è che anche oggi si trovasse un accordo per ridargli l'acqua dei fiumi non si potrebbe perché nel frattempo, gli argini sono stati costruiti, E ci abita molta gente. Il mare non tornerà.

A sad and desolate land, what damage we are capable of doing. The photo is beautiful and the story is beautiful, even if dramatic.

It is not easy to observe such havoc and not feel a sense of bewilderment, no matter how much we humans sometimes do against our neighbors.
A raw but necessary testimony, thank you for sharing dear Claudio.
Have a nice day
