Alessandro Cinque

I am really thrilled to become a National Geographic Explorer. I have been working in Peru for more than 5 years now and thanks to this Grant I will be able to expand my mining investigation not only in Peru but also in the Andes of Bolivia and Ecuador. I am really grateful to the Society and all the collaborators of National Geographic for believing in my work. Thank you to all the people who allowed me to tell their stories, to all the leaders of the Indigenous communities in the Andes who opened their doors to me and gave me their trust. I look forward to being in the field!
