Can you suggest ways to enrich this image to extend its ethnographic import?

If possible the ethnographer can add locations of the landmines and areas destructed by legacies of war, illegal mining and illicit crop production. This will enrich the image by showing overlaps of multiple narratives of toxicities.

What kind of image is this? Is it a found image or created by the ethnographer (or a combination)? What is notable about its composition | scale of attention | aesthetic?

The images are borrowed from a websites and are juxtaposed in one to show gradual deforestation. It definitely captures the scale of the events.

I think the caption is too elaborate, the main arguement of the caption brought in the beginning for a better reading of the artifact.

How does this visualization (including caption) advance ethnographic insight? What message | argument | sentiment | etc. does this visualization communicate or represent?

The artifact expands the ethnographic insight on existence of multiple toxicities and destruction of 'nature' in the Amazon forests due to presence of deforestation leading to increase in illegal farming and mining practices and due to ongoing legacies of war like landmines. It connects the narratives of peace and war as both poison and cure for the forests.
