Peru - A Tough Place For Environmentalists

According to a report of Global Witness, Peru is one of the most dangerous countries for environmentalists. Chris Moye explains to DW why they are murdered and what that may mean for the climate talks in Lima.

As Peru hosts the United Nations climate talks in Lima this week, a report by Global Witness says the country is failing to protect its carbon-rich forests - and the lives of the people who live in them. Illegal loggers were charged with the murders of four indigenous land rights campaigners in September - the latest in a series of killings that make Peru one of the world's most dangerous places for environmental activism.
