flag Illegal gold mining spreads in Peru’s Amazon, causing environmental damage and violence.

flag Illegal gold mining is rapidly spreading across new areas of Peru’s Amazon, including Indigenous territories in Loreto and Ucayali, driven by high gold prices. flag The expansion, moving beyond traditional hotspots like Madre de Dios, is causing severe deforestation, mercury pollution in rivers, and violent clashes linked to organized crime. flag Miners use heavy machinery to destroy forests and alter waterways, degrading ecosystems and threatening public health. flag Despite a government commission and equipment seizures, enforcement remains weak, allowing the crisis to worsen across the region.
