秘鲁当局正在升级针对马德雷德迪奥斯地区非法金矿开采的行动，已派遣海军人员对采矿地点进行突袭。1副检察官Ronald Flores Yáñez确认非法采矿活动已入侵坦博帕塔国家保护区，表示"我们在保护区内看到数百台挖泥船"。1一次为期三天的行动共摧毁56台马达、78艘采矿筏和13,751加仑燃料，总价值超过1500万索尔（约400万美元）。1
非法矿工利用汞分离黄金，造成严重的生态污染。1根据海军上校Renato Miranda的评估，被摧毁的马达日产量估计为30至50克黄金，按当前金价约值4,000至7,000美元。1汞污染已蔓延至河流、野生动物乃至原住民社区，这些社区严重依赖鱼类资源。1
秘鲁当局虽然在2019年启动名为"水银行动"的军警联合打击后，曾使部分地区的非法采矿活动有所下降，但矿工已逐步返回保护区附近。1官员们承认，仅靠设备销毁行动还不足以遏制问题蔓延，还需追踪资金来源和黄金利润。1
Peruvian authorities have intensified their crackdown on illegal gold mining in the Madre de Dios region, deploying naval personnel to raid mining sites as illicit operations continue to encroach into protected Amazon territory.1 A three-day operation destroyed 56 motors, 78 mining rafts, and 13,751 gallons of fuel, with a combined value exceeding 15 million soles (approximately 4 million dollars).1 Deputy Prosecutor Ronald Flores Yáñez confirmed that miners have already penetrated the Tambopata National Reserve, stating: "We can verify they have entered the Tambopata National Protected Area, and we observed hundreds of dredges within the reserve."1
The illegal miners employ mercury to separate gold, which has contaminated rivers, wildlife, and indigenous communities that depend heavily on fish resources.1 According to Naval Colonel Renato Miranda, larger motors cost between 30,000 and 45,000 dollars, with destroyed equipment estimated to have a daily gold production capacity of 30 to 50 grams, valued at approximately 4,000 to 7,000 dollars at current prices.1 While Peru's military-police joint operation codenamed "Mercury Action," launched in 2019, initially reduced illegal mining in some areas, miners have subsequently returned to locations near the protected zone.1 Authorities acknowledge that raids alone are insufficient to address the problem and recognize the need to simultaneously track funding sources and gold profits.1
