It’s been called the hunt for “green blood” which is the tracking and assassination of environmental defenders trying to protect what is left of the world’s rainforests. Around 200 environmentalists were murdered in 2020, the highest number on record. NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden traveled to Peru where activists that are attempting to stop the destruction from illegal gold mining are being targeted by those behind these operations.

Wow NBC found some news. Thanks
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The tables need to turn, give environmentalists rifles
Why do they keep fighting? when the vast majority of the population don't care about anything. Why expose their relatives? for the benefit of a world population that cares nothing? It's not worth it. Do not risk your family or you, no one will thank you, they will laught at you.
I an an Israelite (not an Israeli). We receive the Earth in the future with Jesus our Messiah. Too bad the people of today don't respect it enough.
The media shouldn’t show us the work of all the people that don’t care about the law and tell us that we’re not allowed to have a .50 caliber pistol as legal citizens.
Stop LA city counsel from banning weapon stores and banning the .50 pistol munitions.
I bet if they got hired to work in gold rich areas with monitored mines they would make more money. If they are working that hard for so little then fly them in for the season, pay them well and get them home.
Who are behind of these criminal bands are the fujimori family who suddenly becomes rich, they have representation in the congres, that is why they want to put away to the current president .
Oh, look, a network other than Democracy Now is reporting on this issue. Better late than never, I guess.
Mr. ANDERSON was right when he told Neo. " human beings are a disease a cancer of the planet"
Just wait till the recession turns into a depression in the US , These woke Democrats are going to be hunted in the USA
Lady, you're a supposed to be a professional journalist on a nationally syndicated program, it's not meercury, it's mercury. Mercury. This is a vocabulary word most 6th graders can get right. This report is unlistenable thanks to your inadequate preparation for the job.
Of course you hey dont want anyone else getting wealthy.. or embracing entrepreneurship it goes against the system.. creating wealth for everyday people. Keep digging!! More power to u! ..
Doesn't look like the environmentalists are doing a very good job. Perfect example of what happens when you protest against people who are very willing to take your life for their goal. Maybe if they would arm themselves and get their hand dirty they would make a small dent.
EGYPT — After enduring 10 horrible plagues that ravaged the kingdom due to his stubbornness and pride, Pharaoh proudly announced that plagues in Egypt are now down 100%.
"Hey, folks, we did it! I did it! I brought the plague rate down! This is because of my policies. No joke! Come on, man!" said Pharoah in a speech, apparently still slightly dazed from being struck in the head by a flaming hailstone. "We now have 10 fewer plagues than we had just a month ago. That's real progress! For real!"
Several critics pointed out that the plagues of blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the killing of firstborn children were a direct result of Pharaoh's policies and would have never happened to begin with if Pharaoh had made wiser decisions. The king then sentenced those critics to make bricks without straw for the rest of their lives.
The Pharaoh's Press Secretary Kafele Jahi-Psttah echoed the ruler's sentiments, saying: "We're proud of the work we've done in this administration, reducing the plague rate more than any Pharaoh ever before in history."
At publishing time, The Pharaoh's administration touted another milestone accomplishment, as they had reduced the number of charioteer deaths unrelated to drowning in the Red Sea by 100%.
They need to train and arm the natives to fight to protect the last of the rainforests
you all keep talking about how Canada treated natives
meanwhile Latin American countries….
Holey burrito tacos
Gold fever is a disease of the mind and soul.
The Brazilian government is bribed to look the other way while native land is destroyed and natives are killed and environmentalists are being assassinated
This Planet is Doomed. We failed as a species to protect this world.
What? No mention of the huge open pit mining projects needed to meet the demand for all the rare earth minerals necessary to become fully "green" and renewable, so that we can "save" the planet?
Theres definitely US investors in these mining operations.
Where's your report on Cayler Ellingson and Biden's responsibility for his death.
Oh Jesus can no one make a living.
Yep going to 3rd world country's where people are bearly getting by telling them they cant make a living. What do you expect. Id rather they mine gold illegally then make cocaine or fentanyl. At lest gold has nesseary uses like computer chips
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
The way we stupid apes are behaving, all eight billion of us, we'll most likely all be dead by 2030. These ecological murder victims are most likely experiencing much more humane deaths than the rest of us will.
I predict nothing effective will be done, just like so many other 'causes' around the world that make great videos but elicit no effective response.
The world doesn't want you to save it. Live your lives people.
Strange…. MSM, like NBC told us mercury is safe in small amounts, especially in dental fillings.. Why is NBC pushing conspiracy scare theories?
