    [FAQ EN: Can the amber miners in Burma survive by only selling amber with lizards and/or other fossil inclusions?]
    The journal that we have cited at the end of the documentary (www.pmf.org/journal) answers that question. If you go through our report, you will see that the main product is jewellery-grade amber, at least in the past (mines are mostly closed now). Fossil findings are only a by-product for people that mostly discover them during the polishing of inclusion-free commercial amber. We included a remark in the movie to prevent misunderstanding saying “additional important information on market analysis see www.pmf.org/journal.
    [FAQ GER: Können die Minenarbeiter in Burma überleben nur vom Verkauf von Bernstein mit Echsen- und/oder anderen Fossilien-Einschlüssen?]
    Das Journal, das wir am Ende des Dokumentarfilms zitiert haben (www.pmf.org/journal), beantwortet diese Frage. Wenn Sie unseren Bericht durchgehen, werden Sie lesen, dass das Hauptprodukt, zumindest in der Vergangenheit, Bernstein von Schmuckqualität ist (die Minen sind derzeit jedoch größtenteils geschlossen). Bernstein mit Fossilien-Einschlüssen ist nur ein Nebenprodukt, das meist beim Polieren von einschlussfreiem kommerziellem Bernstein entdeckt wird. Wir haben einen Hinweis in den Film eingefügt, um Missverständnissen vorzubeugen: „Weitere wichtige detaillierte Informationen finden Sie unter www.pmf.org/journal.
    [Fieldwork in Burma]
    Dr. Peretti inspecting amber in Burma in November 2016 during the session of the discovery of the sample. Photo shot by Thierry Falise during a documentary recording in Mogok for a Swiss television channel and discovered in a backup from the archives and sent to him by the renowned photo-journalist. It is evident that no discovery can be made without the efforts of an entire community of miners and agents. See cutt.ly/jgKxUjf.
