Nine indigenous leaders in Peru’s central Amazon have been murdered in the past year and many more have received death threats as their ancestral land is seized by drug traffickers. Covid-19 restrictions have made the remote region even more vulnerable as governmental efforts to protect the land have been hindered.

In Peru, an Indigenous Group Fights to Protect Land from Drug Traffickers and Deforestation
The Santa Martha territory of Peru is experiencing unprecedented deforestation as drug traffickers and land grabbers encroach.
