  • Gold sold in a shop in Puerto Maldonado, Peru. The man thought I was a tourist and let me take these photos of an otherwise very sensitive topic (since a large part of the gold industry is illegal). The price was 125.43 Peruvian Soles per gram. The man offered me to buy at a good price so I could resell and make my own money in Europe. © Daniel Rosengren

  • A dead and dried out male Saiga found in Kazakhstan. A possible bullet hole found in the skin and a broken leg might indicate that this one has been poached. In that case, the poachers might have shot several saigas at once and lost track of this one (why it still has its horns). © Daniel Rosengren
