Photographer’s Note

Minas Gerais (in English "General Mines") was so named for its great riches in the mining industry. It is one of the 26 states of Brazil, the second most populous and fourth largest by area in the federation. The landscape of the State is marked by mountains, valleys, and large areas of fertile lands.

The central and eastern area of the state is hilly and rocky, with little vegetation on the mountains. Some of the mountains are almost entirely iron ore, which led to extensive mining (in some places at the expense of the environment). Recent advances in environmental policy helped to put limits to mining. To the east of the state capital Belo Horizonte, there is a region known as Vale do Aço (steel valley), mainly the cities of Ipatinga, Coronel Fabriciano and Timóteo, which holds a great number of iron and steel processing companies along the course of the Rio Doce and afluents. Now that mining is restricted large areas of forest are being removed for timber, charcoal and to clear land for cattle ranching. The original forest cover of these inland hills is very much fragmented.
