Ecocide is a military tactic aimed at destroying ecosystems to destabilize regions. A long-term consequence of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils. Using curcumin-based fertilizer, UV light, and drone imaging, this project maps toxic hotspots for remediation. It offers farmers a low-cost tool to assess soil safety and advocates for the recognition of ecosystem destruction not as collateral damage, but as a crime.
