Muddy red River at Moreguina,Abau District,Central Province

Description:

Description: English: This river is flowing orange-color due to logging activity upstream. This location is within the Cloudy Bay area of Central Province and logging activities are very intensive there. Most logging companies venture into these lowland rain-forest in these areas looking for quality Rosewood and Kwila timbers which are highly sought in the overseas furniture industries. When we went there with some locals, I spotted that the river was all orange colored so this photo was taken. Overlooking beyond the blue mountains is where ORO Province is situated.
