A wide landscape photograph of a massive open cut coal mine in Leigh Creek. The steep, terraced walls of the pit show distinct horizontal layers of grey and black rock. At the very bottom of the excavation, a pool of stagnant, lime green water sits in a small basin. The foreground is composed of rough, dark rubble. The sky above is a clear, pale blue, and the distant horizon is flat and arid. A small white logo is visible in the bottom right corner.

A deep green heart within the carved earth.

Boomers are now claiming their pensions.

Meghalaya’s Illegal Mines Kill Again—12 Years After the Ban - The Raisina Hills Illegal coal mining in Meghalaya kills 18 in East Jaintia Hills. Despite a 2014 NGT ban, rat-hole mining thrives amid state failure.

"Meghalaya must admit the truth: illegal coal mining is not a law-and-order issue—it is a political economy."

NGT banned rat-hole mining in 2014. But rat-miners 18 miners perish in 2026 in Meghalaya.

Our current government seems to be totally ignoring what’s happening right now in Japan 🇯🇵 #Canary #CoalMine where the economy is stagnating as their population falls. Instead they’re obsessing about technology (which got us into this mess) and growth 🤦‍♂️ more technology is going to make things worse.

A panoramic, wide angle photograph in colour, signed by Kev Peirce, showing a massive open cut mine. The image captures the immense scale of the excavation, with distinct, stepped layers (benches) visible along the sides of the pit, highlighting the geology and mining method. The base of the mine is a mix of dark, excavated material and two pools of stagnant, yellowish green water. The surrounding landscape is arid and flat under a clear, pale blue sky, emphasising the isolation and the environmental impact of the operation.

The scale of extraction: Deep into the open cut mine at Leigh Creek.
