After local residents protested, Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development of Paraguay took action and ordered the company to cease activities. The situation gain public visibility after American actor Leonardo Di Caprio shared pictures on his social media accounts. Now the lagoon is regenerating naturally: Victoria cruziana water lilies are seen again and water returns to its original green color. (Photo by Juan Carlos Meza/Getty Images)
