Where do you work? What do you work with?
I have been working at a university for more than four years. No, I am not a teacher (yet). To be more precise, I work with ecological restoration projects in a research institute at the university.
In my city, there are several abandoned coal mining sites. Because of them, our rivers are polluted with acid drainage and no plants grow in these areas (except eucalyptus trees, they grow everywhere). There is also the danger of open mine shafts near communities.
But we have been working to restore those places and close the mine shafts. It is a work we have been doing for 10 years and we will probably work and monitor** for another 10 years (if we are lucky).
(About the image, yes, the redness of the lake is because of the acidification of its waters).
** "Monitor" is a transitive verb so you need to have an object there - monitor it, monitor the situation, something like that.
