Lords of Gold: the gangs’ grip on Peru’s mines

In his newest investigation Emmanuel Colombié, journalist at Forbidden Tales, reveals gang’s grip on unlawful gold mines. In Peru, the gold rush is ravaging the Amazon rainforest. Within the division of Madre de Dios, the Guardianes de la Trocha gang has taken over La Pampa, a gold-rich space operating alongside the Tambopata Nationwide Reserve, one of the crucial biodiverse areas on the continent. Forbidden Tales and its companion Mongabay Latam reveal how this prison group spreads terror, silencing any opposition with the assistance of rising corruption within the nation.
