Peru is caught up in a wave of environmental conflicts as extractive industries take over land that is considered traditional Indigenous territory. Recent opposition to logging and mining activities across the country resulted in the death of numerous Indigenous activists and environmental defenders. Among those brave enough to fight for the livelihoods of Indigenous communities is Tania Pariona Tarqui. In this episode, we follow the plight of a young Quechua woman who has successfully bridged education with traditional knowledge to fight for Indigenous peoples’ rights.
