Oil and trash litter the shore of Lake Maracaibo in the municipality of San Francisco, Venezuela, Thursday, Aug. 10, 2023. The pollution around the lake, one of Latin America's largest, is the result of decades of excessive oil exploitation on its bed, inadequate maintenance and a lack of investment to improve an already obsolete infrastructure, according to environmentalists.
