Ilhas de ferro afloram das montanhas mineiras. Milenares, os Campos Rupestres Ferruginosos constituem um dos habitats mais antigos do planeta e um dos mais importantes do Brasil. Sua riqueza há muito tem sido sua condenação, uma vez que a importância econômica desses biomas sobrepõe sua importância ecológica, afinal eles guardam nossas maiores reservas de minério de ferro e colocam o Brasil como o terceiro maior produtor global do insumo.
Iron islands emerge from the mountains of Minas Gerais. Millennials, the Ferruginous Rocky Grasslands are one of the most ancient habitats of the planet and one of the most importants of Brazil. It's richness has been, for a long time, its condemnation once its economic value overlaps its ecological importance as it keeps our biggest reserves of iron ore and propels Brazil as the third greatest global producer of that raw material.

O elo perdido - The missing link
between the devil and the deep blue sea, we're faced with the need of finding a paradoxal middle ground, since demonizing mining is just the first reaction of a romantic fool. The demand of a technological society for iron ore is unstoppable, but genuine and it has to include the need for conservation, life maintenance and continuity of other vital resources such as water reserves and recharges provided by the ferruginous geosystems.
