<p>The collapse of the Fundão dam in Mariana, Brazil, unleashed a wave of toxic mining waste that forever altered the Rio Doce basin. Beyond the immediate devastation, the disaster caused long-term damage to water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and the livelihoods of thousands who depended on the river. Years later, the Rio Doce still struggles with heavy metal contamination, loss of biodiversity, and slow ecosystem recovery. This article explores how the Mariana dam disaster reshaped the environmental future of the region — and why true restoration remains an ongoing challenge.</p>
