Community leader Gilberto Lima stands in the “Fazenda dos Mineiros” favela, a former dumpsite for the city of São Gonçalo. Behind him is one main dumping areas of the community. Though the dump has been closed since 2012, a large residual of its former activities still remain. Gilberto has lived in the community by choice for over 15 years. He stays in hopes of bettering the conditions for those living in the area. Photo by Nick Wong CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
